I work online for a Chinese business. They pay in USD. I thought Wise would be a better option in terms of fees. So far, I had to deposit R300 to create the account - after which they said I need proof of address to enable receiving money. That's understandable. But they took my money first, now, if I send it back to myself, I only get R171, not cool. We also cannot get Wise cards in SA. So, I get paid by my boss. I cannot withdraw it to my SA account - this is ONLY FOR US, UK & CANADA!!! I can send it to myself as a payment - but at an unreasonable cost. I have tried to contact support - but with very little luck or understanding. Not everything is disclosed with their service - sign up with caution.
Unless you’re unconscious at the scene of an accident, (better yet specify with your insurance to not be ‘assisted’ by First Assist tow trucks), do not use First Assist tow trucks. 1. Pushy tow truck driver - so pushy and buzzy I suspect he was on drugs. 2. Name discrepancy - said his name is Jayde but wrote on the invoice Claude 3. Cracked my bumper by mounting the vehicle negligently (I have a tow hook in my cubby hole he did not ask for). He said insurance would cover the damage but they didn’t because there was no damage to the front of the vehicle in the accident. My insurance did cover a new number plate he ********** beyond repair. He simply could have asked for my tow hook. No damage necessary. 4. My partner came to the scene and we followed the tow truck to the storage yard and for some reason there Claude/Jayde asked for my keys. I said I would give them to someone who worked there- not necessary to give them to him. He promptly disappeared before I noticed the damage he caused. 5. I emailed First Assist about these issues and they have not given clarity on the name discrepancy or the damage of the vehicle due to the drivers negligence. Literally my partner could have towed me and not damaged my vehicle. Overall horrible experience in an already horrible experience being crashed into on the highway. As my father said- they are vultures and don’t care past the job. I do believe there are better guys and companies than First Assist.
GO TO AFRIHOST!! MTN is worth 0 stars, minus stars even. I cancelled my internet contract in May, they are still charging me in August. There is no customer service - they'll take your money online then the only way to cancel is jumping hoops in store - I took everything back, the the total fool named Mathapelo at the store failed to capture the information in store - and now i'm still being charged. LITERALLY GO TO ANY OTHER PROVIDER!!! Afrihost are great! Great whatsapp service with humans. If you value peace, connectivity, transparency and customer service - do not sign up with anything to do with MTN. They are literal *******. Enjoy your life without them :)
Good communication, thorough information, seamless buy. Thank you Tiffany!
