Scam Solar Store Directory

Just tell the installer to do the job, when done pay the fekker.
No job No pay.

That's the problem, no-one in the industry works on that model. The risk is placed squarely on the buyer, a sizable deposit (up to 80%) is required upfront to place an order, then the balance is payable when it arrives. Sometimes the full amount is required. I can also understand why they work this way, because people can change their minds at the drop of a hat, and then a supplier is stuck with kit, sometimes in transit. It's this model of cash upfront that gets exploited by scammers.
And then you get the installer, a minefield of its own. Don't pay him, and your kit does not get installed, sits in boxes in your garage while you are light candles and gaslamps during loadshedding. That's why both are extremely important to address correctly.
A buyer needs to have a reasonable response to the question of "If I pay R150,000 and the kit does not arrive, what can I do, and what should I do?" Do you know where to find the smarmy fsckr? Know what he looks like? Where he lives? And if you know that, what will you do? Assault him? Call the SAPS? Afrifoum? The taxi driver?

Poor LifeTIDE, accused of being a scam, when they defend themselves by posting supporting information they are accused of illegal advertising, tough crowd we have here.

How come your Google review links are pasted pictures and therefore not clickable?

Hi Ron,

Thank you for your constructive inputs on this. We've enabled click-throughs to the reviews now and had the site certified by TrustIndex, so you can view the certifications and review sources at your leisure. The issue was a conflict of our JavaScript and Caching that was preventing the click-throughs from the embedded reviews. Our apologies once again, Ron.

We've also worked with the Google team to update the address listing for 48 Falcon Lane in Lanseria Corporate Estate to the accurate location and indicate that LiFeTIDE is indeed located at this address.

Thank you again for flagging these,
LiFeTIDE

Paid 80% upfront. Installer took 7 months to complete the job (only needed maybe 3 days on site), but he was so busy that he did a few hours here and there until completed. Not very happy.

Hi Netcruiser,

Just to confirm, LiFeTIDE do not offer installation services and this is about an installation you had done by another electrician?

It may be useful to mention who to help others on this thread.

Power to You!

Yes, it was another electrician, not LiFeTIDE.
