TheoG Posted October 4, 2021 Share Did anyone buy from this store with success before? I'm getting the feeling that I am being scammed. Website seems professional but I had zero response from them since I placed an order on 27/9 and order status remain "Pending". No email or phone number given, in hind sight this should have been my clue. They only have an online "contact us", submitted 3 times with zero response. If still nothing by the end of the day, I will open a fraud case with my bank. Edited October 4, 2021 by TheoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact the payment gateway and your bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton. Posted October 4, 2021 Share Sorry to hear that, I hope you get the money back. I bought my Hoka Speedgoat 4's from Runbeatable, on special. They were good to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craai Posted October 4, 2021 Share In your defense the site does look pretty legit from first glance. Also, doesn't seem that it has been widely reported as a scam site (yet). I guess the only clue is the fairly recent domain registration date (although obviously new, legit sites get created every day) https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/hokashoessouthafrica-co-za-review/ TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy direct from Hoka International, they do ship to SA, but be aware of the import duties. I had to show some patients and wait for the Clifton 8 to arrive, going through Hoka International would have been R1K more expensive. Perhaps Ikhambi can do a special order, would also like a pair of sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted October 4, 2021 Share https://www.hoka-southafrica.com/contact_us.html potentially also a scam site. No phone number listed, no email address listed. Bly weg. Xciter Sports in Waterfall centre stocks Hoka. Its a bit of a schlep being on the other side of JHB but its bricks and mortar and you can try on .

Jewbacca Posted October 4, 2021 Share Okes, ikhambi don't sell direct to consumer, so ALL those SA registered sites are scams. You will need to buy Hoka's from a registered dealer. Those Hopara sandals are hideous! ???? Scary Rider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
