Just got off the phone from Durban branch. They say that they have thousands of these parcels to deliver and have not sorted them out as yet. They cannot give any indication of when they will start to ship them out.They have the freight for 4 days in their warehouse and its still not sorted. Very poor from them.

Also phoned and they said the same so we have to be patient.
 
Collivery 12***03 Status is : Delivery Driver Dispatched
Requested delivery before 16:00 on 28 August
Estimated time of delivery is 21:16 on 28 August

Waiting patiently. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday.
Looking at the estimated time, will probably not be delivered today as well.
The guy has been within 1km for the last 30hours.

This makes no sense. 20 minutes later deliveru is 1 km closer but 1.5 hours later

Requested delivery before 16:00 on 28 August
Estimated time of delivery is 15:06 on 28 August
Driver is currently 10.63 Km from delivery point
 
That delivery time and distance from delivery point make no sense at all and i would say is useless in terms of telling you when you will get your parcel. It probably may have worked, but for these deliveries seems to be useless.

Mine has been showing the guy is 1.57Km from deliver since 09h00 this morning with the time going up or down whenever i check.

I guess, just use the info as a guide to which day it may be delivered.

Doesn't matter, or it doesn't make a difference - waybill numbers after mine have been delivered but some before mine haven't.

Hehe, also one of the first 1000. Not even packed yet... Maybe I can drive to JHB before the weekend to help them.

EDIT: Just found out that two of my colleagues (ordered after me), who have the same delivery address as me, have their goodies en route. Makes no sense at all. 8 days and still no progress :/

The last number, f23*, does that indicate that I got the 23*th free device?

Delivery time seems to increase by two hours every hour.

This is ridiculous. Did Johan van Heerden previously work at Netdynamix or what?
