Gucci Posted November 28, 2022 Share Any one else having issues with them? I placed an order and paid, they charged me for the free shipping, I still haven't received the package after 6 days, the courier company don't answer their phone and when I call Solomon I got a rude answer that I struggled to understand then put on hold while I could hear all the people in the back ground, no one picked up for 4 mins and when I recalled then there was no answer!! Very frustrating and a first and last experience with them for me!! Maybe they are better in their shops but their online experience isn't not great at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirkjknz Posted November 28, 2022 Share Hi I cant say anything bad but I think it is best to visit instore , my brother bought a bike from them in PTA somewhere I am not so good with all the suburbs but it seemed to go all smoothly, best to visit a store if you are close or make a trip.

117 Posted November 28, 2022 Share OK, I'll bite... Why is it that retail stores only jump when social media gets involved? That to me is the toffee finger to you, as they didn't have the want to fix it when you raised the flag the first, second and (perhaps) third times. Bring reputation into it and they jump hurdles to create a cure Me, I'd never go back. Much easier to talk through your wallet, or lack there of, for the retail store slickjay007, ChrisF, MORNE and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Posted November 29, 2022 Share Update: Ashrad responded quickly to my messages and the item was delivered today My Learnings: When dealing with a new online shop - call them, talk to them and check who they are using to post and check the postage costs Don't ever rely on Internet Express - they are very slow and you simply can not get hold of them When bargain hunting be prepared to wait !!!

Had similar experience when my wife ask me to order clothes for the children, living in rural Northern Cape, the fancy online address "tracker" could not found our delivery address, after 30min just gave up. Had many conversations with online retailers and couriers services they use, some can get it right to have a package delivered in 24hours, others 7 days plus. @Guccihow is the bike project coming?
