March 30, 20224 yr Did anyone dealt with GCSOLAR.co.za before? I battle to get any answers from these guys. No reply to email requests. Their online chat ...... wait for hours for reply as well....:(
March 30, 20224 yr Have not dealt with them, I would not want to either, who quotes pricing excluding VAT? they do and since most people can't really claim back the VAT, it makes no sense them quoting their pricing like this, at first glance they aren't too dear, but then you may notice the pricing displayed excludes the tax mans profit margin...

Quoting prices ex vat is illegal, but I guess that's another matter. I've been to their physical store in Centurion, look like nice enough people and all.

Never dealt with them before and a bit cautious when dealing with online ordering. Some companies do buy from companies like this who advertise prices excluding VAT as they claim back their VAT, but for us private guys this is not on. It gives you the false impression of "low prices". The only reason I will buy from them is that they have stuff that I cannot find anywhere else. Edited March 30, 20224 yr by IcePick1957
March 30, 20224 yr I have purchased a few items from them in the Centurion store. Also on 2 occasions online, when the items were only available online, Delivery was around 5 days, whereas I would have expected around 2 days as the warehouse is in Midrand, and shipping to Centurion, so maybe 30km. But nothing wrong in my experience, I am just always in a hurry 😂
March 30, 20224 yr Author @Riaanh Yep, I'm also in hurry with things...... My electronic components like voltage regulators, resistors, diodes and transistors etc I order from my supplier for years now delivers it within 2 working days. So I'm used to quick delivery times and anything longer makes me "restless" . But I'm giving them a try this Saturday, spending about R 12K... Thanks for the input guys! 👍
