This is a poor company, with a pathetic staff compliment (all FORIEGNERS) who have no customer skills or way of speaking TO PAYING CUSTOMERS.
I used MEGASHIFT to move my house hold contents from CAPETOWN to JHB. Upon them collecting my stuff on the very same morning whilst moving a bed base , they had demolished an entire unit of a complete antique light FIXTURE. Immediately when this happen, my wife took pictures and reported it to Caleb and Abel via email and whatsapp. They acknowledged this and said it will be sorted out at a later stage thought their insurance. Whilst counting up the items, we had supp**** much less boxes than we had put down for the quote, but we had about 3 extra items ,amongst was a microwave, washing line and a guitar.
Our total quote was around R11 000 . We was then asked to pay pay an additional R4000 that morning, to add on those 3 items. I then in shock, spoke to Caleb and explained how can I be charged R4000 for 3 additional items and my entire move of 55 boxes, washing machine, fridge, freezer, 2 x king beds , sofas cost R11 000 , he then said let's make it R2500. I asked him if he was thumbsucking these amounts or pulling them out of the air because it did not make sense. By this time they had already loaded all my stuff into the truck and I had paid the entire quote amount of R11000 TO MEGASHIFT. I felt as if I had no choice and had to agree to the R2500.
The agreed time frame was 5 working days , my stuff took 8days ,and on the very 8th day morning, I was told that if I had not paid the R2500 I would not get delivery of my belongings and it would be held until I paid before 12 on that day. I got told that they only deal with serious customers and I'm waiting their time. ABEL WAS RUDE AND SPOKE TO ME AS IF I DIDNT PAY R11000, So I then paid the R2500 and submitted the proof of payment. I then later recieved a call that they are not delivering and there will be delay. At this point I then tried contacting a manager, and when ABEL ANSWERED HE PRACTICALLY REFUSED TO PASS ME ON TO HIS MANAGER AND LAUGHED . I then spoke to EMMANUEL , WHO was yet another unpleasant so called manager , who I then lost my cool with . But my goods was late.
After 2weeks I call about my replacing of my light , as I had tenants moving in. I then got told by Abel and Emmanuel that they have to conduct an investigation and it would take 7days , which I cannt freaking understand. They now ignore all my emails , and cc everyone in their emails , both capetown and JHB branches but receive no response . PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY IF SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?
Best regards,
