Afrihost Mobile Delivery Feedback Thread

the problem is that the guys who have been messed about first with the missed delivery dates now when the courier eventually arrives they won't be readily available/ complain/won't have docs ready because the courier company cried wolf each time. This additional delay will just have a cascading delay effect on the rest of the people in the queue causing more delay.

I seriously don't mind delays. It happens. But communicate with me saying you'll be late and only be able to deliver on a given date, not frikkin move my delivery time by an hour each time a check it on their tracker page.
 
Am I the only one getting excited when an email comes in and then gets disappointed when its not about the delivery and constantly refreshing my tracking and Afrihost client :p.
 
Just got my package, Linbro Park. Speeds vary on quality of signal. Got 2Mbps on download

Edit: 60ms ping which is amazing

Why they wanting to charge you again, is it cause you not near their small depot?
 
The depot is in Welkom and they just deliver here on Friday's so at is now a "Special" delivery

I'll follow up on this for you with our team.
When is your delivery originally scheduled to take place?
 
MDS just phoned me. If i want the package before Friday i must pay for it because Afrihost wont cover the special delivery

It's cheaper to get your own courier to fetch it and take it to you.
 
Picked mine up today, way more convenient than sitting around waiting for it to arrive. All the packages were lumped together in large bags and they had to go and search for it first, took less than five minutes and they were really friendly and eager to get it.

It was initially supposed to be delivered yesterday(26/08), quite optimistic seeing as they hadn't even sorted them yet.

Hi Afriguy

The date was set for Friday before 16:00. So i mailed them to ask if we cant make it on Thursday because i am not here on Thursday. And that is the reply i got after the call sating that Afrihost will not cover the cost.
I will just ask someone to take me in tomorrow it will be way cheaper ans faster. :(
