Facebook account since oct '23, no physical address, whatsapp only number, domain registered oct '23 as well
Only place you can find any reviews for them is on their website. No hellopeter, no facebook, no google.

I wouldn't touch it.

That scares me.

• A Google search for them has this very thread on page 1 of the search results
• Their domain was registered 5 months ago
• Somehow their Facebook page is more than 5 years old, but its first post was 5 months ago. There are less than 20 likes/followers and no reviews
• No reviews on Google or Hello Peter
• Their refund policy is laughably short and mentions nothing about refunds or exchanges after 7 days (sounds like 7 day warranties?)
• Their terms of service is a template and contains "[LINK TO REFUND POLICY]" etc, meaning they likely don't even know their own terms
• No company registration number as required by the CPA
• No physical address as required by the ECTA
• The five testimonials are controlled by them using Testimonial Master. Testimonial Master allows users to submit reviews, but there is no option to do so via their website which leads to the conclusion that they wrote their own reviews.

I'm going to stop there as I think you get the point. Their logo also makes me think of Absa

I have, and I can confirm it's a SCAM. After months of hollow promises and blaming shipping and customs delays, they agreed to a refund. Needless to say that also never happened.

Don't be fooled by the owner "Jordan", he is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and he always keeps you in close contact which provides a real sense of security.

It's almost 5 months later and I'm still R32000 down...let my stupidity be a lesson 😅

Did you really pay R32k to a website you haven't verified ?

Even I try out new places once they start, but I do thermal paste, a mousepad or anything else under R500.
