Fake knock offs

Allow me to save you time and money.

This place is a small shop with Chinese quality electrical equipment (go through their Google images and you'll see what I mean). Generally the stock is not of legit quality. Do not be fooled by the fact that it is located near Sandton / that the salesman is well spoken.

They quoted me R650 for a 100mm twin flat electrical cable via the phone (also advertised on their site). The standard quality of wire sold by your reputable store (eg Builders) is roughly quoted at R1300. Ok, fair enough I should've known this was too good to be true.

Lucky I had gone to the shop with a qualified electrician and he advised accordingly stating the cables would not pass his CoC. Obviously should something happen the insurance would be reluctant to cover.

To my annoyance, I'd wasted my time by trusting a salesman over who lacked transparency over the phone and when I had confronted him and his boss my concerns were taken lightly.

My advice to you, stay away from places like this if you're looking to do the right think. If you're looking for poor Chinese quality, Electro Gadgets is your guy.
