Never again

I'm not sure where the positive community reviews are sourced, but my experience is awful. I knowingly ordered an "In stock at warehouse" item with an expected delivery time that "can vary from 0 to 12 working days". I paid at the same time. It's now 13 working days later, and still no delivery. When I get an email reply, "The item has just arrived and we're unpacking". Then a couple of days later, "The courier is en route to collect as we speak". That was two days ago. It's a terrible first and last experience for me.

Greetings Jaco,


We sincerely apologize for the 2-day delay beyond the expected timeframe. We take full responsibility for this inconvenience and understand that the reasons for the delay might not alleviate your concerns, but we would like to briefly explain what happened, as previously discussed via email.

Your robot vacuum cleaner was delayed due to FedEx and customs hold-ups. Here is the tracking proof that shows your order left our warehouse on 2024-04-12 and was only delivered to us by FedEx on 2024-04-24.

We actively communicate with FedEx to prevent such delays and can provide transcripts where FedEx has acknowledged and apologized for the inconvenience.
Your order was shipped today and has already been collected for delivery; it will reach you tomorrow. This delay extended only 2 days beyond our promised delivery period:
