    Your temu orders

    AliExpress is absolutely not the same. I pay iMile 40% to 70% for each item even if they are Choice items or Bundled items with "free shipping" (bundled items rarely get shipped together). I actually paid R650 on a R950 order. It's the first time I used Temu (still awaiting delivery by SpeedAF)...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Hello, since yesterday I'm dealing with very slow speeds during the day and evening only. In the early morning, it works fast. And I've found only YouTube works somewhat okay, everything else (including Google Maps) works very slow. The 35 Mbps is more like 5 Mbps, it's really bad. @AfriGuy...

    Nu Metro and Ster-Kinekor withdraw the Melania: Twenty Days to History documentary

    It's the cut-the-nose-to-spite-the-face people. Yes, the ANC does a bad job at governance, but it doesn't mean you should support people that would like to see the downfall of South Africa; you live here and should want South Africa to succeed. Social media has radicalised people. As a...

    Are Liquid Telecom numbers just used for spam?

    Hi, in the past few days I've noticed all spam numbers originate with Liquid Intelligent Technologies VoIP numbers. Do they facilitate or condone this or what? A few examples of the numbers are: 011 031 7143 011 031 7351 011 031 7071 012 741 8769 012 741 8808 021 811 3997 021 811 3977 021...

    The Official Xiaomi Thread

    Hi, I know this is long since. But does Aramex charge a customs fee? I ordered through Giztop and thought they would use DHL Express but they sent it through Aramex Express

    Vehicle license renewal requiring certification of road worthiness ?

    I see mine says the same thing from NaTIS. Last year it said No. So would they send the licence because I have to pay for delivery?

    No, I'm on OpenServe. The issue has since resolved itself, but I think this occurs quite often on OpenServe. A few months back I had the same issue and now others seem to also have it. Hopefully, it stays resolved. Anyway, thank you

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    @Afrigirl Since yesterday I'm getting intermittent slow speeds (Mostly at night, from mid-afternoon). It also seems only YouTube is unaffected. I didn't as yet log a fault, but why is this the case? Congestion?

    Voip number spoofed as a cellphone number?

    Hello, I got a missed call from a cellphone number (0646265442), and a few seconds later I get a missed call SMS from Telkom Mobile saying I missed a different call, a VOIP number (0871067562). So did the VOIP number somehow spoof a real cellphone number? Thanks

    Anybody signed up with Tymebank?

    @TymeBank ZA Hello, why is it that on weekends, online banking is impossible to log into or use. I see this constantly; if it's early in the morning, and especially on weekends, the entire service works so slowly. I'm trying to buy electricity and it just doesn't go through.

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    Ya, it was free shipping. But I wasn't given any breakdown. They just send you a link to a payment portal with the total required. The fee is 45% the value of the fan...

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    It's a minipc fan replacement. People are complaining everywhere that iMile and Meili Logistics are using predatory practices to force a much higher fee or risk the item being sent back. I haven't received it as yet, I was sent an automated email and whatsapp message saying pay or it will go...

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    I bought something for R220 and had to pay R103 in customs fees. Previously, orders came through the Post Office (which I preferred), but now it's coming through iMile or Meili Logistics. It's probably cheaper this way as I had to pay the PO R38 per item. Hopefully, the delivery is made now but...
