I totally get that. personally I have never had that happen, and I have only had one issue with them.

I ordered 5 items. paid, then on delivery day I get a message saying the one item is not in stock.

it was a box of cat food.
18 days later after a few back and forth emails I called them used my silver toungue to get throught to the procurement manager, explained the problem and told her that there is a pick and pay close to the warehouse and there is no valid reason for them not to simply go to the shop buy the item and ship my order, made her look up all the tickets and I kept calm the entire time. that usually makes them panic if you have every right to be furious but you stay calm.

they made a plan and shipped a different flavor that they did have in stock 10 mins later. I had my order that same day. considering I am in Joburg and they are in CPT where the other items needed to be shipped from this was very impressive.

yeh i just made them aware via twitter that this sort of thing is not great for their business, and its not the 1st time there are issues with pricing. They said they would forward this to the buyer, so im waiting on feedback.
 
anybody know if the MyGica ATV582 is any good? im assuming this is an older model?
 
guys i really dont want to sound bitter with this deal, but either this buyer is pulling a fast one, or something. 2 days ago this device was R599 less 50% was R1199

Yesterday it was less 15% at R999 was R1199

Today its deal sold out, was R1399 now R1199

something about this deal stinks, unless its just me being bitter having been dealt a crap hand
 
Guys, you should not be paying that R1199. The below article indicates that this device was launched on 7th March. i ordered this on the 8th, on the 9th it went to R999. Be careful around this

Have to say that the reviews I've read don't rate the Remix Mini highly as an android media player ...
 
I got my VM 42 delivered last night.
Fing thing does not boot up. like at all. lights come on, HDD starts spinning and then nothing. like 100% nothing happens.

requesed they come pick it up and replace it ASAP
 
...guess the limited period was 2 days :p

I can understand how this happens...you see it alot with Kickstarter-funded products. The company (Jide) probably has little experience with manufacturing and marketing...they want to get a physical product out there to showcase there software development but there's the rub...they're a software company that's now trying to deliver hardware.

It's not a conspiracy to fleece people so much as incompetence at manufacturing and distribution.

problem is Neoprod, i added this item to my cart on Tuesday at R599, then could check out as i got some 404 error. Next morning its R999, and today its R1199.

What is concerning, is that Tuesday and Wednesday the WAS price showed R1199, today the WAS price shows R1399. somewhere along the lines here, somebody definately is trying to pull a fast one it seems

from what I have seen this is a success. all the backers got the product.

low level backers got it at the price promised.

the product is performing as it should and is getting good reviews.

the problem here is Takelot/ the suplier to takealot.

I know things change fast in this sector but I have a Mede8er and am quite happy. It does everything they claimed it would for quite a few years now. I started off using it mostly for my music collection and photo's but now use it for movies as well.

I've got an old model so I'm not sure what the latest stuff is like from them.

Plus they are an SA company, if that has any influence?

I had a small issue with the SD card reader after a few years and I took it to them and had it sorted out free of charge.

like i said, i am now speechless with regards to this company. the worse part is that they would not go the extra mile to sort out the issue
