This company sent out letters that made me believe that I have won R115, 000.00 but it was a scam. They use misleading words like congratulations and gaurantee. They use this letters to make people buy their products. You never win !!! Any person who reads this letters will think they have won. Even the envelope had me think that I have won the money !!! read full review »

I ordered a birthday cake and cupcakes for my son's party from here, gave Sandra (the partner) specific instructions and photos of the cake/cupcake that I wanted done. It was an image I found on the internet of a 2 tier cake with a boy holding his toys - I asked for exact replicas, except customizing only the name and the toy, repeatedly asking if it was possible to do. I got a very positive response each time and assured she could do it. The evening before the birthday party, she dropped off the order at the hotel, we had asked her to... read full review »

Malls Tiles
Integrity in interaction January 24, 2011
Deep investigation is required on a racist ideology held among the most senior levels of management at Malls Tiles associated with certain cultural attitudes (some unique to the South African, specifically Durban, context). On paper, the policies may be sound, but there is very strong reason to suspect ideals being put forward covertly at top management level from Malls Tiles that is not in favour of people from a Tamil-speaking background and heritage. This is extremely serious and should be noted that people from a Tamil background form the largest part of the wider 'Indian' community in South Africa.

I have been experiencing endless unsatisfactory customer service from the Nashua Mobile Branch in the Centurion Mall. I upgraded my contract in October 2010, one of the sales staff suggested the Nokia E72, which I agreed to. What the staff member didnt tell me is that there was a stock shortage on this particular phone. I followed up on a weekly basis by visiting the branch personally. Eventually after 4 weeks I received my phone. I activated the phone on the 26 December, there was clearly a problem with the phone. I returned the phone to... read full review »

I need to know, is it fair for a Rental Agency to withhold any part of my deposit, whether there is an unexpired part of the lease, and while they have found another tenant. Now they actually are getting double income and commission on the same property, while I gave sufficient time to get a replacement tenant. Something seems so against my rights and to say the least, ILLEGAL!!! read full review »

Then when someone finally does answer, they will not give a clear feedback on the status of what is happening with your car coupled with a lot of bad attitude for a service they are being paid to offer. They sound incompetent and incapable of speaking to a customer in an appropriate manner or of offering sound feedback.
