Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Verdict: Despite the fact that there are only three hard disk drive manufacturers left, you have a lot to choose from when you're looking for a new drive. It is not just about prices either. Though SSDs have outperformed hard drives for a long time now, there are...

Verdict: The Seagate IronWolf and Western Digital Red fight for the same group of customers. Those are mainly people who use small-to-medium size NAS with one to eight bays. That market spans several types of users, from the digital hoarder at home to a small prof...

Verdict: Because the throughput of these hard drives will be limited by the used NAS and the network connection we do not primarily look at the speed here, but at the elements that are important for this segment: noise levels and power consumption. Therefore it is...

Verdict: The IronWolf hard drive – especially in its 10TB guise – won't be for everyone, and that's exactly why it's such a good buy. By focusing on making a hard drive that's ideal for large – and busy – NAS devices, Seagate has produced a drive that should be on...
