Flight Booking Paid, Flight Unconfirmed 12 hours later.
On 27 August 2025 I made return flight reservations for 2 adults from Jnb (Johannesburg) to Grj (George). For early morning (6:00 - 8:00) from Jnb to Grj on 16 November 2025, returning on evening flight of 3 December 2025. On the prompts of the eDreams website, I authorized payment in the amount of R6230. I am used to getting instant confirmation of such bookings, but some 12 hours later am STILL WAITING for this. My credit card account shows an Uncleared/Pending amount of R6230 from EDREAMS BARCELONA 000ES 079138.

Disfunctional Deliveries & INFO on paid order
I ordered and paid for a 92 liter Mora bar fridge with efficiency rating A+ on 3 August. Order number 1863837, with estimated delivery to me in Pretoria on 6 August from Takealot warehouse in Cape Town. Fridge needed for storing a variety of chronic medicines. Now if I try to track the order, it says NOT SHIPPED. I emailed Takealot citing the order number etc, and received a response directing me to their disfunctional website https://www.takealot.com/help-centre , which I had already tried WITH NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER when clicking on the relevant button

Paid subscription acknowledged. Yet access denied
Top quality articles, all of them nowadays in both Afrikaans and English.. But an abysmal subscription administration which repeatedly asks me to subscribe after I have a good dozen times sent proof to them of subscribing for a period of twelve months. On 9 th August 2024 I thus re-subscribed, When that did not enable me to access their articles, I sent the following email: Geagte Vrye Weekblad Hoewel ek ure gelede 'n 12 maande intekening (Koopbewys kode 7EZ3-AGPX-FT6Z) @ R960 gekoop het, kan ek nog steeds nie VWB artikels lees nie. Dit was nadat my vorige intekening blykbaar verval het -- iets waarvan VWB my nie in kennis gestel het nie. Ek het wel anonieme valse berigte ontvang dat my kredietkaart nie fondse het nie (terwyl daar duisende beskikbaar was). Die anonieme aard van daardie berigte het daarop gedui dat dit 'n **** kon wees. Ek waardeer VWB se joernalistiek. Maar as VWB sou aanhou om my toegang te blokkeer, moet ek aandring op 'n terugbetaling van wat ek hierbo gekoop het. Vriendelike groete Jarelange intekenaar Dr Bernhard Scheffler

Square drive screws without fitting drivers
<div><br></div><div>Most screws currently sold do not have either</div><div>1. a traditional screwdriver slot, or</div><div>2. a Philips (cross) screwdriver cross groove, or</div><div>3. a hex-enabling driving hole, for use with an Allen (Hex) key</div><div>Instead, they have a square hole on top.</div><div>But no screwdriver of either of the top 3 types are available. Only tiny square-to-hex bits that need hideously expensive holders that cannot work in awkward corners such as are needed when hanging a door on its hinges. Why this absurd situation??</div>

Excellent service from Spec-Savers' Mossel Bay and Hatfield branches
Over the last 20 or so years I have had my eyes tested, and my spectacles supplied by Spec-Savers in Hatfield Pretoria. I always received friendly, efficient and couteous service from optometrist Hendry Buys and from frame specialist Jacques. My eye sight now changes only slowly, and I had my current specs supplied in 2017 They have been subject to much abuse, but are still in good condition. During holidays in the South Cape I accidentally dropped them onto a steel crossbar, and one lens was cracked. I contacted the Mossel Bay (Heiderand) of Spec-Savers, who were able to expedite the replacement of the lens within 7 calender days.

Sunday Times order & payment acknowledged. But no deliveries for 8 weeks, despite notification
While away from home in February 2021, I received by email a most attractive offer to subscribe for 6 months, and paid in full for this. On return to my home late in March, it appeared that no issues had been delivered. I promptly emailed the email address info@timeslive.co.za that acknowledged my order (and advance payment in full) about the non-delivery, but the email was returned to me. Also, since then I have received no deliveries. I emailed both info@timeslive.co.za and subscriptions@timeslive.co.za today, but this email was also returned by the Mail Delivery System
