Rebel Tech set to make its comeback

Because Wootware never has stock of anything these days, I've been using Progenix. Run by an ex Rebel Tech staff member IIRC. Pricing is good, too.

@Jan - Sure this isn't another Sybaritic?

I chatted to Rune on the phone and he told me some stuff off the record that convinced me it was legit. I have yet to receive any complaints from customers saying they didn't receive goods they paid for.

As far as I'm concerned, Rune has always tried to do right by his customers and so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The CC is being shut down (hence the `rebeltechcc not found` messages in the teaser images) and they'll be trading under a (Pty.) Ltd. when they relaunch.

The government banned them from trading for nearly 7 weeks. Lots of businesses didn't survive that.

I will definitely support Rune again, the rest of the people in our clan will too. Even if he is a bit more expensive, his service was unbeatable. My personal opinion might not have an impact on a stranger, but the gaming communities I am apart of know and trust RTech.

Yes I will never forget my experiences dealing with the likes of Sybaritic and Uniterm. You order your stuff, wonder if you lost your money because there are no communications about the order process, get sketchy invoices missing VAT numbers and other legal requirements. Eventually get a collection note and go to some dingy unmarked building where some grumpy Afrikaans receptionist doesnt even bother to greet you from behind her box of slap chips and wait an hour for them to bring your order and throw you out the door like they just did you a favor taking your money.

Buying from Rebeltech was such a breath of fresh air I couldnt be bothered to bargain hunt anymore.
 
I just hope that those employees that lost their jobs due to their closure are given first dibs on their re-opening, provided they are still unemployed.

Hopefully did right by his creditors / suppliers too - to use the same brand while not using the same legal entity is odd especially if the cc is still being wound up.

He said he did. The CC is not actually being liquidated, it's being deregistered. While Rebel Tech went out of business, it seems none of its creditors applied for liquidation. That says something. It sounded like Rune made arrangements to pay the company's debts out of his own pocket.

How did Wootware, Takealot, Evetech and such start trading on the 1st of May? It should've only been 5 weeks at most.
 
I welcome RebelTech back to the market, always had outstanding service from them and the vacuum they left was never filled.

I counted from the start of lockdown (27 March) to when ecommerce was completely unbanned (14 May).

You're right, though, I think tech retailers were allowed to start selling before the ban was completely lifted.

Whether 5 weeks or 7 weeks, the conclusion doesn't change: Lots of businesses didn't survive that.

Well then I truly hope all the affairs are in order and that he is prosperous moving forward.
