All went well, but they do not keep you up to date on the progress of the delivery, so you need to ask them

Pricing was great but delivery took some time, and we had to follow up repeatedly to get answers and finally delivery...

I had an excellent experience with…

I had an excellent experience with iRobust Tech even though I had to wait over a month to receive my camera. The reason for this was that the war in Iran impacted International travel and there were delays getting the goods to SA as well as delays in customs once the arrived. Thebe consistently communicated clearly what was happening and once stock was cleared I received my camera the following day. iRobust is a small company with limitations - not holding large volumes of stock, cannot respond immediately to every call or mail, but also on the other side provides exceptional value and is committed to fulfilling your order. I would not hesitate to order from them again. Thanks Thebe and team.

The good news... and the bad news...

The good news is that I received the camera and I paid a good price. The bad news is that the communication was poor. That is not what you need if you are anxiously waiting for something you have paid big money for.

Let me be precise with the dates so my comment is fact based.

I ordered and paid for the camera on Easter Monday, 6 April. On 7 April, I used the chat function to ask for an update as all I had received was an unpaid invoice. Phone calls are unanswered. I was told that "the shipment containing your parcel was expected to e received this Friday (10th April) or latest on Monday" (13 April). I asked for an update 4 times on Friday 10 April but did not get a reply.

On 13 April, I followed up and was told that "We're expecting the shipment containing your parcel on Friday"(April 17). A week later than previously said.

My order was delivered to me on 20 April. So while the website says 5-7 Business Days Delivery, my order took 10 days.

The website has a scrolling customer reviews with words and phrases such as "Great customer service", "Good communication", "Good service", "Received on time", Kept up to date", "Delivered within specified time", that was not my experience. In fact, as I struggled for updates, the excellent reviews made me more anxious! What was happening? If it was something costing a few hundred Rand, I would have been relaxed, but I had ordered a camera costing R25,500

The good news is the camera came, the price was good. But as a customer, be prepared for poor communication. If you know what to expect - which is not the great service they trumpet about - this review is doing you - and iRobustTech - a favour.

My anxiety could have been avoided with prompt communication. My suggestion to iRobusTech is designate someone to promptly handle communications with buyers. As they say "Don't over promise and under deliver."

Delivered as promised

At first I was worried because of the war in the Middle-East and my order was stuck in Dubai. But I received a e-mail to comfort me that they are busy making alternative plans and delivered as promised. Well done!

If you can wait 10 days

If you can wait 10 days, it is well worth it. I saved R6000 on a lens by buying from iRobust Tech. Isn't that worth the wait? I consider myself super impulsive and want whatever I buy, almost immediately. My next purchase will be through them.

Sales person very helpful.

Sale person very friendly. Called him 9 days after I bought my camera online, and he assured me it is on it's way. I received it 4 days after that. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is that I am still waiting on prices for other gear, that I still haven't received.

Repeatedly had to ask about my order

Repeatedly had to ask about my order, no decent feedback/tracking on item shipping information.
The item just suddenly appeared after 10 days.

Reply from iRobust Tech

Good day Jannes,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate it.

First and foremost, please accept our sincere apologies for the lack of communication on our side. We take full responsibility for not keeping you properly informed and for the one-day delay in the processing of your order.

We understand how frustrating this can be, and we are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we will do better.

For clarity, our standard delivery timeframe is 5–7 business days (excluding weekends), with tracking details normally sent from the 5th business day onward, as stated in the order confirmation. Your order was placed on 25 January 2026, dispatched on 3 February 2026, and delivered on 4 February 2026, which amounts to 8 business days rather than 10.

That said, we fully acknowledge that regardless of the timelines, we should have proactively communicated with you about the possible one-day delay. Failing to do so was our oversight, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration and disappointment this may have caused.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We value your support and will use this experience to improve our communication going forward.

Thanks
iRobust Team
