They now offer 3-5% discount on my next order if I leave a review. So guess that's why they have so many good reviews. But also think its fair and not really buying fake reviews. They promised to get me a phone from Lithuania at a good price within 12 working days and did exactly that. So I will use them again. Can't think that they suddenly turn into a scam on your second purchase... but never impossible

**edit: I said good review, reread email just says "leave a review"

This is some of the dodgiest shit I've ever heard.

Edit: maybe not so dodgy, for some reason in my brain it became "if you leave a positive review."

So you think they gonna scam people on the second purchase? I mean I am open for that idea... will be a good long con.. but then what in 4 months of them running a scam none of the people scammed went back and left bad review?

Also: takealot does the same thing: win R1000 voucher if you leave review. millions of people leaving reviews not even for a guaranteed discount...

Has anyone here bought from them twice?
 
and ja I know I recently joined so my post here means nothing, would be nice if some of the long standing members could comment of they have ordered there more than once

I take it back, you're right.

Idk why but I thought you said you get a discount for leaving a positive review.

Giving a discount for any review at all is less dodgy. Like you say, Takealot does it too, sort of.
 
sorry I did say that initially, but then edited. and put the edit notice at bottom. but maybe you read first version. so all good :)

edit: my brain also somehow read the email from itworkup as "good review", wrote it in forum, reread email, it just says "Kindly Leave Us a Review & Receive 3-5% Off Your Next Purchase"

I have tried dealing with them. They don't answer their phone and they take 24 to 48 hours to reply by email. So I think long term service from them is going to be non existent. I noticed the also have a weird VAT number - it's certainly not South African. The frustrating thing also is that their pricing changes daily. I tried to fill a basket with items and when I went back to pay most of them were gone. When I researched for the items they had all gone up, some by R1500.

I will clarify and say I don't think they're scam artists but the management is a bit questionable at this point - it might be teething problems for a newer business. The only time I managed to get them on the phone to ask about the VAT number (I wanted an official tax invoice for my business) the consultant didn't know anything about this but a couple of days later I received an email saying they were busy applying for an SA VAT number.
 
I ordered a RAM kit from them yesterday, before reading this thread, and will report back here with comments and if I run into any issues (Holding both thumbs for a smooth transaction)

Ordered from them about 2 weeks ago, picked it up, all looks good so far, working well.

Their office is quite nice, I do like their hard drive frames, want to get myself one 😂
 
Sorry guys, anyone have alternate contact details for itworkup. I have been trying to cancel an order since tuesday and I haven't got an answer via phone or email, meanwhile I got a mail saying my order has shipped.

They don't answer calls but I've been emailing this email address back and forth and they've been replying constantly on a big order: edvinas@itworkup.co.za

They actually emailed me to correct my order as I accidentally ordered incompatible RAM and they swopped for free for a more expensive kit. Going in to collect my order today.
