The guys went out of there way to deliver my order in spite of me not being available at the time of delivery so for that 5 stars. There prices are good and nice product range but think they have a glitch in there order system or lack of knowledge in operations as got confirmation of order and then nothing had to follow up after a few days and response was fast but then no communication again until a few more days until a phone call of the guy was standing at the door for delivery. Only after delivery did I received loads of emails confirming order, progress and delivery estimate hence the 3 star. Hope this helps the company and prospective buyers.

I was quite late in placing my order for a birthday gift for this weekend - 3 days notice. The team at Sustainable went out of their way, pulling out all the stops to have the gift couriered to me time to avoid massive disappointment for a 6 year old. Very seldom is this type of service found and it is greatly appreciated and acknowledge.

Communicated with Ziki and requested a quote for two Fifepo4 batteries. Ziki referred me to their web site which does not provide a quote facility. How in goodness gratious is one supposed to do business with a company where the staff are not even willing to provide a quote. Zero rating in my books. Amazing how a lazy staff member can throw a company name away!
Added: received a pro-forma invoice after a few emails. Was informed that even though I can oay by card in store, I cannot collect the stock at the same time? Asked to confirm pro-forma is still valid a few days later only to be told its not valid anymore (even though there is no expiery detailed on the pro-forma) and then note that the price for the battery has be increased to 1000% of the original price on their web site ... O.M.W!

Shocking service

Shocking service - Wanted to double check if a product is in stock, and not rely on their website before we buy it - Was told in person when called in that it is in stock when reflected as such on the website. We then paid for two of the items, and then a couple days later was advised they do not have it, and they will have to look elsewhere. Wasted more time waiting when the product alternative was not nearly the same. Also the lack of communication or slow communication a huge problem - unfortunately not good excuses, as service delivery is hugely lacking.

Zero technical support for a very technical productfor my order…

After waiting a while for my order (with me having to enquire a few times) we have now installed our inverter and batteries. We need technical support which is not forthcoming. When phoning youare referred to email - which responds that there is a long queue. Another call refers to the online chatbot - that also responds by referring to a long queue. Bottom line - a week later - zero technical support. Our battery and inverter does not / can not communicate. Be warned. This can get expensive...

Unexpectedly increased costs

Unexpectedly increased costs after the full amount was paid, without warning. Sold us the incorrect inverter that is not allowed for residential use in Cape Town . Really poor experience.

Battery and Inverter is not a System.

Purchased a Sustainable 400W Power Box with Lead Acid Battery under the category Battery Backup Systems, expecting it to be a complete system as there was no explicit indication that a charger is not included. After waiting more than 2 weeks for it to arrive, and not getting what was expected, there was no attempt to rectify their mistake. The total shipping cost of almost R600 to get a refund after purchasing an inverter and a battery, instead of a system, really leaves a sour taste. I would've saved myself R600 and not considered it an option if I knew it's an inverter and a battery.

Hi Jacques, thank you for your review. We always appreciate constructive criticism. There is a clear byline on the product page that there is a 7 - 10 day lead time on this product. Further delay was caused by the extremely high demand generated from stage 6 Loadshedding at the time. We do our best to get all products out as soon as we can but this is not always possible. Please also note, that the components that make up the Power Box are clearly reflected in the description on the product page where you made your purchase. Including the make and model of the inverter. When you queried that the inverter did not include a battery charger, we informed you that this product was created to be an affordable, entry level box for those who had existing battery chargers. There is no indication in the product description that a battery charger is included. You informed us that your confusion came in with regard to the 1 x AC charging point referrred to in the description of the box which we clarified was a point where a battery charger can be plugged into the box. We have sold hundreds of these Power Boxes and this is the first time that we have had anyone complain with regard to it not including a battery charger. Nevertheless, because we value our customers, we immediately updated the product page to make an optional battery charger available for those who may not realise that the kit does not include it.
We also sent you what battery chargers would suit this application. We also offer free advice so you were welcome to ask at any point whether this would be suitable for your application. We advised you that you could return your Power Box for a full refund if you were not happy with it, which is what has been done. The returns procedure is clear on our website and also in our terms and conditions which you agreed to when making the purchase. At no point have we been unreasonable or resistant to you wanting to return your Power Box and we have refunded you in full. We are sorry if you feel that you were misled but there was no point where that is the case. It would be unfair to expect us to provide you with a battery charger free of charge when there was zero indication that the kit included a battery charger.

I did not have an issue with the order and delivery, the documentation of Geyserwise was written by a techie, and missing a lot of information. The SOLAR Pv kit , did not contain materials to attach to the roof, and sufficient MC4 connectors to connect the equipment up.
The kit needs to be reviewed.
