Worst worst online app for shopping
If I could rate zero stars to this dodgy company I would. DONT USE THEM. I placed a large order on 4th April and only received the groceries 4 days later after sending numerous emails, WhatsApp messages and Facebook messenger. Nobody bothered to respond. However, some of the groceries were not supplied, leaving my account in credit. Numerous failed attempts to get a refund have been met with silence. This is not a small amount and in times when all monies are greatly required, this company seems to survive on non refunds as other people have stated the same. This company should be reported to the consumer council and should be shut down.

The biggest scam artist out there
Terrence Schwartz, AKA, Guru Contractors, SCL Decking, Men at work, SCH Contractors uses Gumtree to operate. His modus-operandi is to get a 70% deposit for the job quoted and then never does the job. Stay away from this man. The police wont do anything because they say what he is doing is not criminal. However, he has done this to so many people in the Northern Suburbs . He did the same to me. The work was for a Pergola and shutters. He started the Pergola after 8 weeks of hounding him and him coming back with every excuse under the sun. The pergola is shocking workmanship and I never got to see the shutters. He used every excuse under the sun as to why I was not getting my pergolas. I threatened him with legal action and eventually he paid me my deposit back 3 months later. Stay away from this man

Johnson's anti-slip product ruined our tiles
We approached Grip Anti-slip in Cape Town in April 2019 for a quotation stating we had procelain black and white tiles around our pool and required an anti-slip product be applied to the tiles. Sharon Hawes gave me a quotation and we set a date for the 26th September. At no stage was she hesitant to apply the Johnson's anti slip to the tiles and repeatedly phoned me to set a date to apply the heritage product. As the tiles were black and white, two different products had to be applied to each colour. She basically applied each tile individually but stepped on the white tiles and then onto the black leaving her footprints and finger marks all over the tiles. This in itself was not evident at the time as the tiles were in shade, but once full sunlight was on the tiles, the marks could be seen and were badly ruined. She came back the next day to try and remedy the situation but to no effect. During this time, I "tested" the tiles and slipped badly in front of her. She recommended taking a sample of the tiles with her to see if she could find the right product, but I never heard from her again for another few weeks. On follow up, she had referred me to another agent (who at the time said he had no affiliation to her) and he recommended a site visit. It was only after the site visit that I realized this was husband and wife. When Glenn Hawes came on site, the first thing he said was he would never have taken on a black and white tiling job as each tile had to be blocked off and each colour was supposed to be treated seperately. He said he would recommend from Sharon Hawes that a full fefund be made and also offered a cleaning agent that said it might fade the tile markings. However, even with the refund and the tile cleaning material, the tiles are now ruined. I approached Manual da Costa from Heritage products to see if there was any way to fix the ruined tiles and he sent an email back saying "this matter is now resolved". No apology and no resolution. The tiling cost us a huge amount of money, first laying the concrete slab, then buying the tiles and getting a tiler to do the work. This was our pride and joy and this company has totally ruined our once amazing feature.

Very very dodgy builder
Terence Schwartz (Terry) is nothing but a dodgy construction worker. He goes by the name of Men at Work, Guru Contractors and SCL Decking. His telephone number is 072--970--5661 and the address he gave me is 24 Vinca Circle, East Rural, Kraaifontein, Cape Town. On the 29th July I approached him for a quotation to construct a Pergola with shutters and cupboards, and having already got three quotes from other companies I chose to go with him as he sounded the most competent. We agreed on a 70% deposit to cover the materials and agreed that building would commence. That is when the troubles started. Four weeks after having paid over the deposit, I was still hounding him to build my Pergola (shutters and cupboards not even discussed). I threatened him with legal action and he promised faithfully to be on site the entire week to complete the project. I heard every excuse you can dream of for him not coming on site. I would phone him in the morning, make arrangements for him to be onsite at a specific time and he would not bother turning up. He would also not contact me to say why he was late. When I did get hold of him eventually later in the days to follow, he would have some "ready excuse". And believe me, he used everything from "I've been in an accident", "my workers have not turned up", "I have to take my daughter to doctor", "I have Flu", "I'm sourcing materials", .... on and on and on. Eventually in the 5th week I told him to cancel the contract and refund my monies, he said he would do it immediately, but this also did not happen. We are now sitting at the 8th week, with half a Pergola built and him sitting with our deposits. I received another message from him today saying he will refund me the deposit for the shutters and cupboards. I can assume this is another lie and will be taking legal action to recover my monies. Then last weekend to put the nail in the coffin, he had previously brought some Balau wood onsite to do the trimming on the cupboards but it was warped so he decided to rather source Meranti. We had a braai at our place and one of my friends (he built a deck for them ...... using wood that my friend had supplied) noticed that the Balau wood was exactly the same as his as it was used previously from a deck and when he confronted Terry about the wood, Terry admitted that he had taken the wood. Terry only had to do the installation so the wood was not his to take. He is a liar and a scam artist of note. He has taken advantage of me as a lady, and a pensioner and feels nothing. He is a horrible person. I have proof of everything said above. Stay away from this man and his partner who is based in Southern Suburbs.

Solution to bad service
I posted a report on the 23rd regarding non-delivery of Christmas gifts. I was so angry and the fact nobody was responding made me even madder. I roped in a friend from Johannesburg ... and the hunt began. We were able to get a name of the sales manageress - Carol. Her phone number is 0760134306. Don't phone ... she will just ignore. Add the number to your contacts and whatsapp her.<br> <br> My friend drove to Grabit ... and they have closed. They are now merged with Calasca. 11521 Olympia Street, Unit 4-5 Malboro.<br> <br> My friend promptly went to them and they packed the parcel in front of him ..... and he left with it. I have yet to see the delivery costs I paid.

Order for Christmas never received
Picture the scene...its Christmas eve. All presents bought on line from Grabit on 7th December 2915. Enough time to be delivered by Christmas and as per their offers 4.6 days for delivery. Ha ha. So on the 17th I email them (no telephone number) available. They reply saying delivery will occur on 23rd as mixup with courier but gave me courier tracking URL. So on 23rd i phone courier who states they have not received parcel from Grabit. All emails to [Email Removed] go unanswered. So little ones.. Sorry no presents this year thanks to Grabit.
