The Gadget Shop SA
Ordered and paid for UPS on the 11 October 2024 [Order #52433] (October 11, 2024) and to date, no items received, no response to queries. Their phone number does not work, and they do not respond on the "live chat" or to emails. There is no way to get hold of them at all. It is evident that many people are experiencing the same. Paid for good in October 2024 and did not receive it. Website can't reached and support email not working?

The Gadget Shop SA _ Promises Not Fulfilled
Order number: 65762, made a direct bank transfer, on November 29, 2024. My AC wasn’t delivered and my money was never returned, I have called The Gadget Shop SA no answer, I have emailed them no answer, I have chatted with them online, promises were made, but were never fulfilled. I’m sick and tired of them, all I need it’s my money! So I don’t understand why hellopeter allowed them to remove my review. The Gadget Shop SA, you have my phone number and if you can’t get hold of me, you have my email address and my home address, although I think you’re a ****! I’m reposting this review because I’m still waiting for my money 💰 Hi Gunyazile H Your review of The Gadget Shop SA was removed on 18/02/2025.

*****ulent Website
This website operates as a *****ulent e-commerce platform. It collects payments from customers but fails to deliver the promised products. After payment, the company ceases all communication and ignores refund requests. Numerous victims have reported similar experiences, as seen on consumer review platforms. This website is misleading and exploits unsuspecting customers. I urge everyone who has been considering buying from this website not to do so, you will lose your money.

Beware of The Gadget Shop SA – Misleading Online Store
I placed an order on The Gadget Shop SA (thegadgetshopsa.co.za) on 6 February and made a payment via EFT, as it was the only option available. After making payment, I received no confirmation and no response to my emails or phone calls. After looking further into this business, I found that many other customers had similar experiences: making payments but never receiving their goods. There are numerous complaints about this store failing to fulfill orders, with customers unable to get any assistance after payment. What You Need to Know Before Ordering: - The only payment option is EFT, meaning no buyer protection or refunds if something goes wrong. - Once payment is made, communication stops, and items are not delivered. - Attempts to reach the store via email and phone have gone unanswered. I am sharing this review to help others make an informed decision before purchasing. Always research a store thoroughly before making a payment, especially if EFT is the only payment option available.

Do not buy from this company!!!!!!
Do not buy from this company. I purchased a washing machine from them, but there was no delivery, no communication and all of a sudden the website is also unavailable. Do not make the same mistake as all the other people who bought something from them online. No info given by them is the truth.

The Gadget Shop *******
I needed a new oven and went onto PriceCheck to look for good deals on a Bosch Series 2 oven. The best price I found on PriceCheck was linked to 'The Gadget Shop SA' with a price of R4999.00 and shipping is free. So naturally I went with them, as the company was on PriceCheck which had my trust as I had used this method before. Paid my money on the 3rd of February 2025. Tried to call last week Monday to confirm delivery (5 working days were over), the call didn't connect and the website was suspended. Since then I have come across alot more ****med buyers. First of all - why does PriceCheck, not verify that the 'Prices' they have are for legit businesses - perhaps something that would need to be verified in an API call. And why does ABSA allow payments to be made to a **** account? Why is it, that ******* have more rights than a normal law abiding individual cos if I want my money back, I have to ask their permission (shocking).

DO NOT BUY FROM The Gadget Shop
Not even worth one star! This business is a S C A M! I paid R8999 for a washing machine, which I did not receive. Phoned the company and reached a place called Mandela Park in JHB. It is not their number. No communication on emails - same as all the other reviews. The online chatbot is non-responsive and suddenly when I searched the online site, it said: Account Suspended. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!
