I urgently needed parts and found a repair kit from a certain seller. I ordered two kits without fully reading the description, which was my oversight. Had I known they were 3D-printed, I would have opted for local production. I placed my order on 30 November 2025, consisting of four small parts, weighing only 0.038 kg with packaging. The total cost came to R2,295.86, including shipping and customs fees. I anticipated delays due to the December holidays, but by January, tracking updates stopped entirely. The tracking service provided no useful information. After contacting the postal service, I received a generic response that the parcel was 'in transit.' When I reached out to the seller, they offered minimal assistance, stating the parcel was on its way and that they had no control over delivery times. After two weeks of frustration with the postal service, I found my parcel at a post office where I had to pay customs fees again. The unclear manufacturing location, lack of import tax inclusion, and limited support during transit were significant drawbacks. I waited over a month for my order, while another parcel from a different retailer arrived without issues. I strongly advise against purchasing from this seller, especially if you are in South Africa. If you have a sample, consider local options for a quicker and less stressful experience.
