Afrihost launched a promotion which included an Android smartphone and mobile data for its existing subscribers at 10:00 on Wednesday, 18 June 2014.<\/p>\n
Users who already had Afrihost ClientZone accounts could get a Zest T1 Android smartphone and 1GB of mobile data per month for 12 months for R1,999 once-off.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe initially only planned to sell 1,000 on today\u2019s exclusive offer to clients but decided to make more available when they sold out within 30 minutes,\u201d a spokesperson for Afrihost said when asked about the day\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n
Afrihost increased the number of units available on the promotion by 1,000, and when those sold out, added another 1,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already sold over 2,000 units (and counting) so there may be some left over for the general public tomorrow,\u201d Afrihost said.<\/p>\n
Asked how much stock they ordered, Afrihost said that they\u2019ve received 4,000 units in total, but that includes demos, spares, and handsets for internal use.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we will sell less than 4,000,\u201d Afrihost said.<\/p>\n
What happens when all the stock is sold out, though?<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far it has been overwhelmingly positive, so it\u2019s very likely that we will get more in the near future,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cHowever, the current offer is limited to the stock we have for the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delivery times on the devices will depend on the payment method used.<\/p>\n
For those who ordered by credit card, Afrihost has prepared to ship out every unit within 48 hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have ensured that our courier partners are prepared for the number of deliveries we\u2019ve anticipated,\u201d Afrihost said.<\/p>\n
Debit order customers may experience a delay of up to 5 working days for payment clearance before the 48-hour delivery period.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, each delivery will require RICA, so there could be unforeseen delays due to clients\u2019 availability,\u201d Afrihost said. \u201cHowever, we expect to have all orders shipped out well before the end of the month.\u201d<\/p>\n
