Submitted a case for investigation in June2010. To date the feedback has been non-existent. I am promised that calls will be returned, the matter will be investigated but nothing happens. I have done all the 'dirty' work, gathering and collating information and passed it on to the personm dealing with the matter ...and still nothing. Instead, the same info gets requested over and over. I've been given the excuse of 'we overloaded with work', I emphathised but I think I have been extremely patient and co-operative only... read full review »

I went into the Strubenvalley shop the first time at the end of May, George came to my house to quote on the 2 June, I went in afterwards to pick floors, which off course I had to do 3 times, because they never had stock of anything. It took him a week to get the quote ready, apparently because it was his off weekend or something. When he came to look at the house he saw that there was tiles as skirting, he said they will remove it before doing the tiles. When Hannes came the 1st and only time I ever saw him, he said it should have been done... read full review »

Huggies Gold
:( not happy November 15, 2010
I would just like to inform ''Huggies", that their new unique fit nappies are not so great. In fact I would go so far as to say that the quality has deteriorated. Firstly, the nappies now feel like they are made from paper and the ink from the Winnie-the-pooh character graphic now rubs off and makes my baby's clothes green around the nappy area. Secondly, the stretchy waistband doesn't seem to be as stretchy as the old nappies and the fasteners are not stretchy at all. Lastly, but of greatest importance, the new unique... read full review »

Casio watches
Buks Gouws November 13, 2010
I've ordered a Casio watch from a reliable jeweller about three weeks ago. I was present when he placed the order with other items from Casio. They said that they only deliver on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Oudtshoorn Western Cape. The owner of the shop stood every time when I want to collect my watch with a red face. When he called the rep to know what’s going on he only received shitty remarks. If that is the sales services, how will be the after services? Casio - you must do something with your reps in this area. And still I'm with no watch. read full review »

saffaboi November 9, 2010
Hi all In a nutshell, I made an order through flora niche in August this year. For some reason HSBC would decline the transaction every time they would attempt to make payment, HSBC stated that their fraud prevention system automatically declined this. I have now learnt that Flora niche have distributed my personal credit card details to a 3rd party! Do they not realise how much fraud there is out there. HSBC have now cancelled all my cards and are issuing new cards. Very rude and threatening emails, they do NOT understand the concept of excellent customer service! BEWARE!!! read full review »
