    Some Raru customers are struggling to get refunds on delayed and cancelled orders

    I paid using payfast instant eft. I approached my bank and they can’t help.

    Some Raru customers are struggling to get refunds on delayed and cancelled orders

    Exactly the same situation. ‘Your refund request is with our refunds department’ (they only have a handful of staff). They claim 30 working days is required for the refund. I also opened a case with the Goods and Services Ombudsman and RARU refused to respond to them. My case has been referred...

    Some Raru customers are struggling to get refunds on delayed and cancelled orders

    They couldn’t source or deliver my items from an order from July 2022 for several months (despite ‘delivery within 3-5 working days’) -even wasted a month with the Ombudsman with no results. They finally refunded me a week ago. If a company doesn’t even bother to respond to the ombudsman you can...

    Raru ripping off South Africans

    They’ll quickly give you a credit in your account but if you ask for a refund it’s a whole other story. Glad things worked out for you though.

    Raru ripping off South Africans

    I wouldn’t hold my breath if you expect MBB to look into it. Unless it’s the big blue and it generates a lot of clicks and they can milk the story for as much as they can - they won’t lift a finger. Sad but true.

    Raru ripping off South Africans

    They tend to turn refunds into store credits to force you to use it with them as people become so despondent with waiting months for a refund that they eventually cave in.

    Raru ripping off South Africans

    I’ve had a horrendous time with my latest order. Item stated 3-5 working days for delivery. Delivery was supposed to be on the 5th of August - that date came and gone. The following week I started emailing and got the run around. I kept checking the product page and the item which was listed 3-5...

    Octotel (Octofail) - You Have Been Warned!

    Before anyone bites off my head or starts acting superior, just read before you get triggered. We've been with Octotel since they installed in Claremont 3 years ago. The last 8 months have been painful. We've gone through 4 ISP's and to this day we're still in the same situation. 1-3mbps speeds...

    [Personal Experiences] Hisense TV's

    I had the EXACT same problem with Hisense sending me a file that simply didn't work. Ended up having to take it in to them. Turns out the mainboard and the wifi card needed to be replaced within 4 months of purchasing it. I have the 43" model. Personally I would steer clear of Hisense...

    Core i7 4770 (non k) Troubles

    Hey All! I posted about this previously but I'll be damned if I can find the original post. I keep getting this message when I boot sometimes: It doesn't happen as frequently when I disable turbo-boost or use 'default bios' settings, however, it seems there must be a reason for it...

    Extremely High CPU Temp when encoding video and mp3's!?

    Hi All My CPU hits temps of over 90 degrees when I encode video and/or mp3's. I have installed a aftermarket cooler now (CoolerMaster Hyper 212 LED) but the temps are getting worse! Also, I get an annoying message every week or so about my BCLK/CPU/RAM (boot failure). I don't overclock so I...
