    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027

    You can do it at any time, it's not a new perk or change.

    The Courier Guy / Pudo - A Broken System and Frustrating Experience

    I attempted to ship a package with TCG last week, but it wasn't collected. When I checked the online tracking later in the day it showed it had in fact been collected - they had somehow mixed up the waybills. Also in a large estate where they were probably delivering/collecting multiple...

    Samsung TVs

    Back in 2021 some Samsung TVs still came with 5 year warranties, maybe double check if yours is covered. If it only had a 24 month warranty then you can't seriously expect them to cover repair costs almost 5 years later.

    Semigration, which town?

    Definitely not Bloemfontein, probably not Durban either. Just noticed that they were missing, there are probably a few other places too.

    Semigration, which town?

    Why are places like Durban or Bloemfontein not options?

    Spray Mags

    Just over R6k for 4 wheels in 2024 at Tiger Wheel & Tyre, thanks to scratch and dent insurance. That was for diamond cut wheels, fixing minor damage/scuffs and repainting parts black. According to their website it seems to be Wheel Collision (https://wheelcollision.co.za) that actually does...

    Looks fake, why is the tailgate a single piece?

    Kia Sonet sold in South Africa achieves 1-star adult protection rating

    There are actually two entirely different Citroën C3 models, one for rich countries and another for "developing" countries. Same with Nissan/Renault and their -A and -B platforms. One of the clearest examples of structural differences is probably the Hyundai i10, there's a safe version and...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    I was planning to use my Kauai voucher this weekend, expecting eBucks to be paid on the 15th. I assume I've lost out now?

    Kia Sonet sold in South Africa achieves 1-star adult protection rating

    It's because vehicles destined for countries with poor regulations are often made in India to reduce costs. There have been improvements though, the newer Suzukis are much safer and even Renault/Nissan have managed 5 stars in Global NCAP...

    The GWM Haval Jolion sold in South Africa scored a 2-star safety rating

    The updated Nissan Magnite managed 5 stars in Global NCAP, so it's not as if they can't make somewhat safe vehicles. Mahindra also does pretty well in general. Global NCAP is still a joke compared to Euro NCAP though.

    Downgraded safety equipment for top-selling Chinese cars in South Africa

    I think the issue is a combination of poor safety regulations and uninformed (or uncaring) consumers. It's obvious that quite a few other manufacturers are doing it too, look at the difference between a Hyundai i10 sold in Europe vs one sold here, it's even worse considering that Global NCAP is...

    New small budget car for my mom

    I'd stay far away from the i10, or any Indian built Hyundai, they're probably the least safe new cars you can buy. https://www.globalncap.org/news/hyundai-falls-short-with-zero-star-result-in-africa A very left-field alternative might be a Ford Puma, prices have dropped to under R300k now...
