Worst RTMC EXPERIENCE in 2025!!?

On 30 June 2025, I purchased a license disk via the RTMC platform and received immediate confirmation of payment.

I also downloaded the PDF receipt for my records. What was not made clear at the time of purchase is that RTMC outsources delivery to a third-party vendor — Skynet Worldwide Express.

On 7 July 2025, Skynet issued a tracking number. I was charged R99.99 for delivery, yet I have received nothing to date. I monitored their tracking system, which proved unreliable. After multiple failed attempts to reach a representative, I finally got through on 10 July, only to be told their system was down — a fact that should have been proactively communicated. I was assured the package was within 50km of the delivery address and would be prioritized due to the missed 3–5 business day delivery window.

I was then explicitly promised delivery on 11 July between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. I rearranged my work schedule to accommodate this. The delivery never happened. No call. No update. Nothing.

I followed up again on 12 July and was told the package would arrive Saturday morning. Once again, I waited. Once again, no delivery, no communication, and no one answering the customer service line. The phone rang endlessly — no voicemail, no callback option, no accountability.

This is not a minor inconvenience. It is a complete failure of service. I have exhausted all reasonable channels — Facebook, WhatsApp, email — and received nothing but empty promises and silence. Skynet’s WhatsApp support ignores messages, and their Facebook team offers generic responses with no follow-through.

I have since discovered that my package is sitting in Avoca, a location within the same postal code as the delivery address. There is no justifiable reason for a 10-day delay on a local delivery.

This experience has been unacceptable. Skynet Worldwide Express has demonstrated a blatant disregard for customer service, contractual obligations, and basic professionalism. I am now formally putting both Skynet and RTMC on notice: if this delay results in any financial or legal consequences, I will pursue legal action without hesitation.

RTMC must seriously reconsider its partnership with Skynet. Associating with a vendor that operates with such inefficiency and contempt for customers reflects poorly on your organization.

To anyone reading this: avoid Skynet Worldwide Express at all costs — unless you’re prepared to wait weeks for a package and fight tooth and nail for basic service.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. WORST EXPERIENCE. ZERO COMMUNICATION.

It has truly been a journey—one filled with moments of adventure, anxiety, and ultimately, excitement. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and commendation to the RTMC team for the remarkable ownership and urgency with which my query was handled. In particular, I wish to recognize Thobeka and Musa, with whom I had the privilege of engaging from the moment my inquiry was raised until its successful resolution.These two individuals are shining examples of professionalism—a quality that is, unfortunately, becoming increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world. Their dedication, empathy, and efficiency transformed what began as a sub-par experience into a positive and uplifting journey.They are, without a doubt, invaluable assets to the RTMC, and I sincerely hope their contributions are acknowledged and celebrated within the organization. Within just 12 business hours, I received proactive communication from the team. They not only validated my concerns but also took swift and thoughtful action to ensure my matter was resolved in a timely and respectful manner.May the spirit, passion, and commitment that Thobeka and Musa embody continue to flourish—touching more lives and setting a gold standard for service excellence. Their actions are a powerful reminder that even in our individual roles, we each have the capacity to make a meaningful difference.Let us all take a leaf from their book as we strive to bring the same level of care and excellence into our own spheres of influence. With sincere appreciation,
