Excellent service

Ordering was easy, had an issue with payment (me being the issue, not their website), they followed up and assisted me. They then followed up again as soon as they realised they were out of stock of the one item. Really friendly and professional, great experience, and fortunately I qualified for same day delivery.

There was nothing unprofessional from our side.

You placed 2 orders, which i think the first one you were unable to process payment, and then the second one you successfully paid.

Our system automatically canceled the one that was not paid which you got a notification, and the second order was marked as shipped with the tracking number.

However, you sent an email querying this, and we gave you the explanation that there were 2 orders placed which one was paid and the other wasn’t. This means there was 2 order numbers which you did not take note of.

The paid order was shipped and delivered the following day, and then you send as an insulting email that we are unprofessional?

In NO WAY we were ever unprofessional. Your emails are demanding, rude and full of insults, you have no manners on how to speak to people, and this is not our fault.

Specially when you are unable to understand that you made 2 separate orders with DISTINCT order numbers and then start to send us rude emails about something you did and do not understand.

Thank you for the review Toby. Due to Cuba’s current state of affairs, it’s extremely difficult to get what we want or even in the quantities we want. It’s a take it or leave it situation, which consumers don’t understand.

Hi Moribula, Please be aware that our business is not logistics. We do not own The Courier Guy and neither do we control their routes. We simply use them as our selected logistic company, as they are the fastest and most reliable courier company we have used in South Africa.

You have placed a total of 115 orders since 2020.
There is the SECOND time that The Courier Guy experienced delays with your order. All other 113 orders were delivered on time.

2 weeks ago I even sent you a hand crafted pen with the cigar brand you always order as a gift, and you didn’t even take time to say thank you.

However, 1 order gets delayed due to The Courier Guy and you rate us 1 star?

I find your rating is extremely unfair and damaging to our company and does not reflect our values we stand for as a business.

In future try and reach out to the companies by email or via a phone call before leaving a damaging review. We could have queried with the Courier guy the reason for the delay on your order, even though you get provided a tracking number and you can reach out directly to the courier company.
