I'm so frustrated with Protea Metering at Willowcrest. I was told in need to top up and I did over and above the amount asked, a day later I realized the amount wasn't reflecting on the system even the amount I was asked to pay was more because it included the "shared services" which are R10.03 a day over the price of electricity I sent and email and they asked for a proof of payment which was generated by the system Automatically with a different meter number I sent it ,NEVERTHELESS I was told they see the payment and it will be allocated but it was never allocated and the amount I was due to pay kept on going up and I sent more emails and I was assured the amount will reflect they still updating the system within the complex. I get another notification to top up and I checked on the system the amount I paid is still not reflecting so now Im owing more I sent another email the lady responded and said "it's the correct amount that you are supposed to pay" how is so if the amount I had paid 11 days ago is not reflecting???? She then says the fund we allocated WHERE ? Does this mean the detail I can view on my end are incorrect?? And in the short space of 11 day I have used so much electricity more that I have ever used in my history. I told the lady the amount I paid is not reflecting at ALL. Whatever they did to migrate us from this new system wasn't done correctly there's an error somewhere and they not forthcoming about to make the matter worse so many people are experiencing the same thing.

What a useless company to order books from with no customer service. Ordered books for our school, didn't have stock of most of the books so I went from shop to shop to buy. They must refund us R36 000. Almost 2 months later no payment received. I have send numerous emails, tried phoning for 2 days, almost 15 + calls a day and no one answering the phone. Will never do business with them again or recommend them to anyone!!!

I made a payment on the 15 March 2023 online for books at Protea bookshop the payment went try but I never received invoice. I've tried to call them the phone box is full and telling me I can't leave a message. It's the school that recommend this bookshop I think it's a scam please don't buy books online I've been scammed twice.

I ordered schoolbooks online. The payment went through, but I received no order confirmation. I have been trying to contact them via e-mail and telephone for two weeks with no success. And also no books.

I placed an order online on the 6th of Feb 2023. I ordered 10 textbooks worth over R8k. Out of the 10 books, only 8 were delivered. I've not received any comms from them regarding the outstanding books, except for when I went online to review the status of my order. I came to learn that they claim to have delivered 9/10 of the books, which is untrue. I've called them 3 times and have NO one call me back. In fact, I got through the last time. I spoke to someone at 09h00 when they had just opened, only to be told that they had just stepped out. I've emailed them the list of outstanding books and pray that I get an answer. These books don't come cheap, so I can't let this go!
