Afrihost Mobile Delivery Feedback Thread

So mine has been saying: Collivery 1*****7 Status is : Processing Order

I phoned MDS and asked if I can go pick it up myself, since I want it for the weekend. Then the lady spoke to Johan - Manager of Jhb branch, asked him what she must tell me if my order says Processing .

I overheard their entire conversation, which was in Afrikaans. He just said that they are unsure if it has even arrived at the branch, then she also mentioned that they have received "over 17 000" units and by tomorrow they will definitely know where my parcel is.

I will phone again tomorrow and hopefully they have found it among the "17 000" units and I can go pick it up myself.

What's included in the package, I remember seeing one guys picture post and it looked like he got a free afrihost 8gb flash drive?

That's only for beta testers. You're gonna get a flyer bag with the modem's box and a simcard packet inside.

Is it just me, or is this number increasing with every interaction with MDS?
 
Just got an sms stating that my stuff will be delivered today and to have my documents ready. Just checked the tracking, the time has increased by 2.5 hours since I last checked. Distance away is still the same.

Yes! It started with 8 000 and this morning the site said 10 000, now another magical 7 000 more...

Did we order rabbits on heat?

The total units Afrihost gave away free is climbing by the day. They are still giving MiFi's away.

Eh - I take it it's kinda pointless to call MDS at this point? Just gonna wait it out & hope they come when I'm here...

I'm throwing everything I thought I knew about the whole process out of the door ... my friend just got a freaking call from MDS that the courier will be delivering his parcel in about 30 minz. No email of any sort. Since when do they suddenly call?

Maybe they are trying to get people to be ready when they arrive to save some time?
 
Logic doesn't apply with these orders. An hour ago my delivery was 1h20 minutes away. Now an hour later it is 1h30 minutes away. Distance is still 8.84.
