Stay clear
This was the second time purchasing from Amazon US & sadly, it will be the last. I bought a Citizen watch & it arrived with the warranty card not filled in. Also, when I reviewed the watch negatively, my review wasn't posted & when I tried to review it again, suddenly I was restricted. So it seems as though Amazon manipulates reviews, by limiting negative reviews & thus one cannot trust any product bought off their platform if this is the case. I've heard rumors, but now judging from my own experience I believe the rumors.

A waste of money is what they are
I recently had new glasses made. I have one for reading & one for distance. I wanted bifocals that meant I would have 1 set of glasses & wouldn't have to constantly switch between two or carry two. Well, I was told this was not possible. They could not even make me one pair that I could read with & watch tv in one. So once again I'm having to carry two sets & constantly switch. I've since learnt, it is indeed possible to have bifocals that allow for reading & distance all in one, but unfortunately now, thanks to Neovision, my budget is spent. Do not go to these people, they obviously don't know what they're doing & will just waste your money. I certainly won't ever use them again. With my wife needing new glasses, we'll stay well clear of them. #BlackFriday

Ocean basket is not your average chain restaurant
Yesterday, we decided to go to Ocean basket for our weekly date. I work 6 days a week & we do this once a week to unwind & have some 'us' time. So every week, we try a restaurant on our rotation list. So far we only have 3 that has consistent good food & service at a reasonable price. Well, I'm glad to say we'll add Ocean basket Table Bay to our list. The food was amazing & the service prompt & friendly. You can see the manager cares about this establishment. It's well worth a visit & we're thankful that we've found another venue to add to our very short list. #BlackFriday

I'm done with FNB
We have a 32 day notice account that we opened a few years ago. We've noticed FNB's service getting worse & worse & the last 3 visits just confirmed that we need to move away from them. The lady assisting us the last 2 times was great, but unfortunately it's their systems that's broken. I actually felt sorry for her. But I'm done wirh FNB now. I'm done wasting time at a branch begging for MY money. With ABSA, we can do things online. With FNB, there's always some issue that forces us to go to a branch.

Definitely the worst of the worst
Yesterday we had to go pick up a Takealot parcel & our pick up point was PnP Table Bay mall. The visit just reminded we once again why we do not shop at PnP. Their staff. They'll pretend to be busy, so as to not have to help you & when they eventually do help you, it's as if they're doing you a massive favor. I don't actually know how they're still in business

Amazing experience
I am absolutely ecstatic. This was my first purchase from Amazon.com & because it wasn't local, I wasn't sure what to expect. I found the .com page easy to navigate & could clearly see the seller's details & that the item I was interested in was shipped & sold by Amazon themselves. I also loved that I could check upfront what the costs would be, including shipping & customs. Although an estimate, it was very accurate. It is appreciated, because we all work according to a budget. On many other international platforms, one only gets the customs amount after the payment had been done & the item had shipped. Thus it can come as a surprise when the fee is higher than expected. Thank you Amazon for a hassle free experience. We'll definitely order from you again in the future.

Stay away from temu
<div>Today we received our last order from Temu. Out of 8 items, 1 was good. The rest ranged from junk to meh. The things that put me off is the dishonesty of this platform. It's in the misrepresentation of the images, the false reviews, the poor quality sold as good. The way they treat customers, whikst acting to care. I'm probably going to get the usual generic response again from their bot. But we're finally done with Temu. I'm not even going to waste my time on a return. I've deleted the app & write this review to serve as a warning to anyone considering buying from them. Don't. And don't believe the reviews or the paid influencers or people defending them or claiming to never have had any issues. They'll claim we don't read descriptions properly or don't do our homework, but that is just to make it sound like it's our fault & that it's not the platform. But believe me, I have nothing to gain by yelling you to stay far away from Temu.</div>

No trust in trust pilot
I've been using Hellopeter for years. I then decide to use Trustpilot also. Well, my account got suspended. Why? Because I told the truth about a company they probably didn't want the truth told about. So now my question is, how trustworthy is trustpilot, when they suspend you for telling the truth? In future I'll just stick to HP. At least here they allow you to tell it like it is. Good or bad.

Cheap junk
First and last OFNS watch. What a load of *******. The watch doesn't look like it does in the marketing material. It's a cheap case, cheap movement, cheap strap & 5 minutes after opening the package & turning the bezel halfway, it breaks. Absolute junk. Do not waste your money on these watches. I wouldn't even buy one for a child. It looks like they copied a Citizen model (very poorly) & used the Citizen with their name photoshopped in as marketing material.

The quality is ok to terrible
2nd time buying & even worse experience than the first. Items arrived earlier than predicted again & that's definitely a positive. But, as before after customs fees are factored in, it's not worth it, especially when one looks at the quality. Last time was a watch & socks. Watch was cheaply made & so was the socks. This time, cloting & another watch. The clothing was not bad, but nothing to write home about. The watch however, was even worse quality than the one before. Absolute junk. Doesn't look anything like the quality advertised & a few minutes into inspecting it, the bezel movement broke. I don't know how people can be proud to sell such poor quality items. We've got another order coming and hopefully that is better quality. I'm going to await that order before I send this watch back, because this watch is definitely not staying. It's not even the type of quality to wear as an occasional piece. Come on Temu, do better.
