Afrihost Mobile Delivery Feedback Thread

[AfriMan]

Got another email saying my device is coming today, hope its not like Friday where they said they're coming and they didn't pitch. I understand that they're overloaded but then don't make promises where i have to cancel my days plans and not stick to them. In hindsight i suppose Afrihost should have employed the service of multiple courier agents.

It's a question of the RICA aspect which makes it difficult to use multiple agencies. If we were just delivering devices or routers for example, this would be a much simpler task. But the need to RICA every single SIM, and the logistics of delivering to an individual, rather than whoever is at home or at office reception, makes this a very complex task at times

Dof question for the day, where is the default WiFi password?

And we are now 3 down, 1 to go in the office.
Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.

There's a sticker with the password on the inside of the back cover.

Fair enough, i am sympathetic towards Afrihost and the courier company. It must be a total nightmare to deliver this many devices in such a short time period, hopefully i will get my package today though .

Phones Collivery and was directed to the PTA office. Each time they picked up that I changed my address (added the building name to make it easier) and I got they feeling they thought this was the reason for the delay.... But the guy was friendly enough and said they'd send out another driver today.

Everywhere except in the manual of course.

Lol, it took me a while also. I did read the manual and it says it's on the device. I looked everywhere on the outside of the device

Finally got mine.
Delivery driver dispatched notice 6 was the lucky one.

Very good speeds at the office in Epsom Downs.

Is ANC masquering as Afrihost?

Order Placed 30-08-2013 14:06:27
Parcel Packed 03-09-2013 10:45:28
Pending Dispatch 03-09-2013 11:27:55

I don't foresee them making Gian's ammended deadline of today for Pretoria.

Afriman,

Is it possible to cancel the mobile service from the client zone and have DOUBLE my money back ?

I already told you my RICA issue via PM.

 

[Gadget Man]

They can't be aiming for Gian's amended deadline. My sister is in Durban and I ordered it for her, and she still has not received any notification of delivery. ClientZone still says handed to courier on 30/08.

We are now 20 days since order was placed ... and a third the way into September.

We're basically just waiting, but some kind of personal feedback would have been better rather than a general message which we know doesn't apply.

 

[DjStyles]

How do you guys check your status.
In the clinetzone it still says handed to the courier (30/08/2013).

When i go to Collivery's website and enter the waybill number given to me by Afrihost, it says invalid.

 

[Gadget Man]

DJ Styles ... I think we're in the same "bad batch" 30/08 15.55?

I wasn't given a waybill number. But at this point it makes no difference really. Just be patient.
