Royal Granite
In September 2007, Dave from Royal Granite (AKA Deziner Granite and Creative Granite) came to see me. After some discussion, we agreed that he would install around R5000 worth of Granite tops in my kitchen. I paid him a R3500 deposit (70%). Dave himself took the measurements. Apart from the fact that they canceled the installation date twice at the last minute, when they actually came to install the tops, it was an absolute disaster. The dimensions of the tops were way out, the joins were shoddy, the broke pieces out of my walls, 5 tiles were... read full review »
Sansui 42" Plasma
My 42" Sansui Plasma TV, which is less than 2 years old, was sent in 4 times for repairs in the space of 3 months. Job Number JA49926 for reference. First, TV was switching off on its own, and could not be switched on. Now, TV is gone in again, but this time, colors are distorted and pictures are grainy. Also, TV makes horrible humming sound every now and again. Frustrated and fed up with poor quality of service from Sansui. Had Sansui products in the past which were of poor quality as well. This is the last Sansui product I buy, and... read full review »
Loreal Feria Colour Booster Hair Colour
I have been using Loreal Feria Hair Colour for the last 8 months, everytime I wash my hair the color comes out and I end up staining my towels. I used the Deep red for 8 months and then decided to use the black Loreal Feria Hair Colour and well it does exactly the same, I wash my hair every second day and everytime I wash the color comes out. On the box of Loreal Feria it states and I quote, "this color will not fade or wash out, it will grow out."
Well this statement is completely untrue, after having the hair color for 2 week... read full review »

Then I reported it to Dion... read full review »

I am a gadget freak. It is a good thing that I don't work for Sharper image and the like because I would certainly be insolvent.

I have a complaint with Citibank Philippines Credit Card Company...
First, Girl A has been a cardholder of Citibank for more than 8 years now and due to unexpected circumstances, she flew to London because of job offer.

Phuthuma Nathi
The Naspers Group has awarded the contract to trace shareholders to TSP (shareholders partnership) to claim ordinary shares under the Phuthuma Nathi shares scheme. They have not made any attempts themselves to get hold of the shareholders, but grant TSP the right to claim 15% admin fee to award the cash benefits from the above scheme. This is not fair and needs to be investigated.
I have applied for the shares to be dematerialised, but have not heard from Naspers. read full review »

A friend of mine flew to Dubai on Tuesday 4th December 2007, he packed one bag for a three month trip.
When he arrived in Dubai his bag went missing, after trying everything he could at Dubai Airport and missing his flight to Austria, I also contacted Jo-burg Emirates, aswell as his travel agent. Unfortunelty no-one can help. What is a person suppose to do? Is it worth traveling with Emirates when so many people are complaining about the same problem?
If that bag does not get found I will make sure that every newspaper and every tourist and travel agent gets to hear and see what is happening on their airline!!! read full review »

LG Electronics Service Centre - South Africa
Recently I had the pleasure of purchasing a new TV, an LG unit. One month and two days after purchase the power supply blew (LG's service centre diagnosis). Long story short, a new part was ordered, but the wrong part was ordered (cue the circus music). I was then promised a new unit as replacement and that it would be shipped to me in Grahamstown. One month later the replacement unit was authorized. I waited...and time passed slowly. After finally deciding of not dealing with the proxy I called LG headoffice in the Big Smoke of Gauteng... read full review »
