Elaborated theft
Vodacom has a new product called vouchers to be found on their app. I was introduced to One Cart via the Vodacom app as one of their suppliers. I chose my items on the One Cart app it came to R298.58 inclusive of a R35 concierge charge. I went back to the vodacom app and purchased a R300 voucher. After completing the order I was notified that the concierge charge of R35 can not be paid via voucher but through direct EFT. At this point they were holding a R300 voucher! I paid the R35 concierge fee meaning at this point One Cart had i. Their account R335. Order was confirmed. During the morning I had communications from the “personal shopper” advising she was proceeding with the order then she had completed the order and finally that she was on her way, She arrived as I was walking out a visitor she handed me the packet without saying anything or advising there were items missing. I had opened tha gate for both her and my visitor. Getting back into the house and opening the parcel I realised out of the 9 items ordered and over paid for 4 were missing! Namely: sugar, eggs, tomatoes and parsley!!! When I called and someone who identified herself as Miranda knew exactly who I was and at first she simply **** saying the 4 missing items to the value of R145 were out of stock! I have stated that for sugar, eggs, tomatoes and parsley to be out of stock is hardly plausible and further more when “my shopper” contacted me from the store to say she is I. The store shopping, she is collecting my goods and finally she had completed the purchase not once did she advise stock shortage of any item leave alone 4 items out of 9 ordered and paid for! I asked her to explain when the second lie came by advising there is a refund of R164 in my wallet. I had asked her to clarify which wallet and she advised the wallet under my profile on their app. While on the phone I had checked that wallet and it had 00.00. I told Miranda so then she changed her tune saying I have paid with a voucher and vouchers are non refundable what she might be able to do is to refund the R35 being the concierge fee paid by me via EFT but this only after speaking to her manager! I told her to put the manager in the line so I could discuss the matter with him. She told me hexwas busy with another complaining customer just like me… Asking for the manager’s name I was given Mfundo Nxele and promised he will call me as soon as he finishes with the other irate customer. He has not called. I asked for the company’s MD which is public information but Miranda refused. Basically One Cart collected from me R300 in a Vodacom voucher plus R35 consider getting fees already charged under the first invoice - a total of R335.00 One Cart delivered goods to the value of R123.00 meaning basically *****ing R212.00. Reading other reviews it is clear their reputation is non existent and they don’t care about it either. I have spent 2.5 hours with Vodacom today demonstrating to them that in the very near future theyvwill need to establish a department to deal with One Cart’s ********** conduct. I strongly suggested they are dropped from the Vodacom panel ad their inclusion is bringing Vodacom into disrepute. I have explained same to my bank who are going to take immediate action. I strongly suggest you publish an official warning to the public based on the reviews existing with you already and my personal experience today. Talking of get rich quick schemes…., It is in the interest of public knowledge that these ************ people are exposed and stopped. All the documents are available for perusal. Sincerely,

You have the audacity to send a generic message requesting the order number when you well know the issue because I have sent you to where ever I could inclusive of your reviews the order number and the demand for immediate refund. You DO NOT RESPOND!
Your Miranda IS FULLY AWARE AS SHE HAS PROMISED NXELE MFUNDO (manager according to her) WILL CALL ME BACK - I AM STILL WAITING.
Responding here to Hello Peter, hoping to pull the wool over more eyes, with a message which has STAR STAR STAR INSTEAD OF AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND STAR STAR STAR INSTEAD OF A TELEPHONE NUMBER JUST DEMONSTRATES BEYOND ANY DOUBT YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF REFUNDING THE MONEY ****** AND NO REGARD TO ANY CUSTOMER CARE - you continue as if nothing happened, you DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE the R212 ****** and hope it will go away. You are very smug but not smart!!!

You do not sign your message therefore I have no idea who you are.
I have requested to cut through the chase I am not the type of person who spends her life on social media - don’t have the time.
My emails to you, to the Consumer Council, to Vodacom, to Capitec were extremely detailed.
Contains my name, your invoices, my payments, your communications, names of your employees who attended or did not to it!!!!!
You definitely have my email address as mails were sent to you.
I made a number of calls to you and left my number with Miranda for Nxele who never bothered to call back.
Don’t you think that being in the media department is a very poor excuse to not following internally and approaching the people involved rather then request my email and telephone number which you already have?
I will stop at nothing to expose you for what you are and standard messages to Hello Peter will not pull the wool over my eyes anymore.
I made one mistake!
I’ve given you an order - I only read your reviews post mortem - they are not flattering and I have made all the authorities aware of your conduct.
I have responded to your unjustified request to pay another R35 via eft after the amount was added to your invoice of R298.86 presented which was paid with a R300 voucher from Vodacom.
I have requested Vodacom and explained why you should be removed from their panel.
So basically you have received from me R335.
Order number *** for 9 items was placed and paid for - R335.00
After two communication with your shopper who advised me she was in the store shopping and then she had completed my order and was on her way to me - she arrived!
Out of the 9 items (the biggest price tag items i.e Sugar R39.99, eggs R44.99, tomatoes R42.50 and parsley R13.99) were suddenly out of stock!! THIS WITHOUT ANY MENTION FROM THE SHOPPER WHO COMMUNICATED WITH ME TWICE THAT ANY ITEM WAS OUT OF STOCK!!!!
Subsequently I read this to be your modus operandi, there are many reviews stating exactly the same!
Now for any one to believe Pick and Pay (I have written to them too) have run out of sugar, eggs, tomatoes and parsley he/she has to be mentally handicapped - I can assure you this is not the case here! By your own admission on your website you have delivered goods to the value of R123.00 if you add your unjustified concierge charge as your prices are marked up from the Pick and Pay prices of R35.00 it is a total of R 158.00!!!!! You have received and confirmed R335.00 so basically you have become unjustifiably enriched if we were to use legal terminology or simply ****** which is a fact - you HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND, FAILED TO REFUND THE MONEY AND/OR DELIVER THE GOODS YOU WERE PAID FOR IS R177.00 MORE THEN HALF OF THE MONEY RECEIVED!!!!!!
There is nothing to talk to me about as you have not bothered any way YOU HAVE TO REFUND THE R177.00 BY EITHER CASH INTO THE ACCOUNT WHICH PAID YOU THE R35, BACK TO VODACOM ON THE BASIS OF THE R300 RECEIVED FROM THEM TO CREDIT ME OR BY DELIVERING THE GOODS YOU DID NOT AND HOPPED TO GET AWAY WITH!!!!!
This is all I have to say to you and any further correspondence is just futile YOU CAN NO LONGER FOOL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION!
The decision is yours and time is ticking but don’t insult my intelligence any further and waste my time with ridiculous “cooked up” stories.
Sincerely,
Adriana

Rules and Regulations for on line retailers:
Taking money from consumers and then failing to deliver the agreed goods and services is a contravention of section 19 of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which governs suppliers’ obligations in terms of the delivery of goods or services, and their responsibility in the event they are unable to deliver,” said Ms Magauta Mphahlele, Ombud for the Consumer Goods and Services sector.In terms of section 19 of the CPA, suppliers are responsible for delivering goods or services on the agreed date and at the agreed time, or otherwise within a reasonable time after concluding the transaction or agreement. They are further required to deliver at the agreed place of delivery or performance of the services. Where the supplier fails to deliver as agreed and fails to reach an agreement regarding alternative delivery dates and times, the consumer has the right to cancel the transaction without penalty and to receive a full refund.
sections 47 of the CPA, the section forbids suppliers not to accept payment of goods if there is no reasonable basis or intention to supply those goods, or intent to supply goods that are materially different from the goods which payment was accepted.
Furthermore section 30 and 41 of the CPA. Section 30 prohibits suppliers from advertising goods as being available at a specified price in a manner that results in consumers being misled or deceived about the actual availability of those goods at the advertised price, or at all; while section 41 relates to false, misleading, or deceptive representations.Consumers who shop online are advised to transact with reputable retailers and to especially be wary of unrealistically low deals. We further advise consumers to do due diligence before parting with their hard-earned money by checking with online communities before purchasing from unfami**** online sites. Consumers are therefore urged to do due diligence before transacting with a new or unfami**** e-commerce website.
We urge all online suppliers of goods and services to ensure that they comply with the CPA by ensuring the following:
- Displaying correct pricing. Where there is an error, it must be communicated to consumers and be corrected within a reasonable time, otherwise consumers are entitled to purchase at the displayed price;
- Providing a detailed description of the goods or services to avoid consumers ordering goods that are not fit for purpose;
Displaying delivery times and communicating delays to consumers; - Disclosing key terms and conditions, including return and refunds timeframes and channels;
- Displaying contact details and escalation processes if consumers have any queries;
- Avoiding bait marketing or overselling by ensuring that there is sufficient stock or indicating stock limitations in all adverti*****ts where applicable;
- Avoid accepting monies from consumers if there is no stock or capacity to deliver the goods or services at the agreed time and date;
- Disclosing any other additional costs that the consumer would incur, including any delivery costs or cancellation penalties; and
- Providing a system for consumers to track their deliveries.
