Evetech must change their courier…

Evetech must change their courier service provider. I'm lucky I got my order after buying a gaming laptop online.
The driver needs to know who is recieving the package and verify delivery to the right person.
The courier didn't even know who the delivery was for, and didn't verify before handing over the package. They just said it's for this address. Even when asked they didn't know, and gave it to the wrong person.
No messages.
No delivery tracking.
No communication about when I would receive my order.
There wasn't even a pin.

If the wrong person signs for an order who is responsible?

Hi Thierry,

To answer your question: we'd take it up with the courier ourselves and sort it out with you. You wouldn't be left chasing it on your own.

You shouldn't have had to feel lucky in the first place. A driver handing over a laptop without checking who's receiving it isn't good enough, and neither is a delivery going through with no tracking or notification.

Hi Adler,

Our power supplies go out with an SA cord alongside the manufacturer's cable. Yours didn't, and that's a packing miss on our side. If you still need one, support will send it out.

On the screws: cases ship with two sizes in the parts bag. The motherboard takes the larger #6-32 screws, and the small M3 ones are for SSDs and fans. It's an easy bag to grab the wrong one from, and if yours was short, support can send a set.

Hi Jack,

Transit times vary quite a bit by destination. Main centres are one to three days, outlying areas can run to a week. Sales can give you a firm delivery date for your address before you order.

Always quick to respond. Thanks for the awesome services.

I ordered an RTX 5060Ti 16GB and wasn't happy with the performance. Yes, it's a great GPU, but we needed more raw performance. So, we exchanged it for the the RTX 5070 instead.

The aftersales services of Evetech was great because they kept me in the loop, offered me a CN (Credit Note), so I only paid the difference.

Dealt with Ricardo and he was professional, polite and went the extra mile to ship out product asap after the exchange was completed.

We highly recommend Evetech especially if you want to save extra bucks on your PC components.

Hi Jonathan,

An exchange that ends with a credit note for the difference and the replacement shipped out the same day is exactly the after-sales experience we want attached to our name, not just the sale. Sounds like Ricardo kept you posted every step of the way — that follow-through is the standard we're going for. Enjoy the extra headroom on the 5070, and thanks for the A+.

No service and warranty only with evetech

We have bought quite a few gaming laptops from evetech. The last one Lenovo legion for about 50k that had fault right from the beginning. Warranty turns out not to be valid anywhere else besides evetech. I have emailed them photos and videos of the fault, called them, explained when I booked in for repairs yet they cannot find fault and it took them 2 days before someone could look at it. No communication besides the urgency and me calling them so many times. They are absolutely useless. We will not buy from them again, I'm sure there are other places where the client matters

Hi Nick,

On the warranty: laptops and monitors are covered by the manufacturer's authorised service centres rather than by us, and that's noted on every invoice. It's not a policy we can vary.

On the fault: we can't book a replacement or credit without reproducing it, and intermittent faults often need tests that run 12 hours or more. That's why the booking-in mail sets out a two to seven business day turnaround. It's a frustrating answer when you've sent video of the problem and it won't repeat on the bench, but we can't send a unit back to the service centre without something they can act on.

Hi Marnus,

Orders placed after hours only reflect once our accounts team confirms payment the next working day. We take orders in store, by phone and by email as well as online, and the remaining stock on that monitor went to other orders in that window.

We came back to you with a like-for-like alternative on the same specs, and that's what shipped.

Defective Laptop. Slow support.

I purchased a laptop, and upon inspection it became apparent that the touchpad was defective. Considering the value of the laptop, I'm puzzled by this. On top of that one has to chase for responses via email to get the process of it being collected, and calling seems useless as sales representatives cannot direct me to someone in support via the phone. Truly frustrating.

Hi Lebogang,

A touchpad fault out of the box isn't something we'd expect on a laptop at this price, and we're sorry it arrived that way — and for the back-and-forth by email and phone it took just to get the collection moving.

Since then, we've picked up the unit, confirmed the fault, and replaced the laptop under warranty at no cost to you.

If anything about the replacement isn't right, reach out to us directly and we'll get it sorted.

Hi Marcel,

Your cache figures are right. The Ryzen 7 5700 is a Cezanne part with 16MB of L3 where the 3600 has 32MB, and the 5700X is the Vermeer version that keeps the full 32MB. That's AMD's naming rather than anything on our listing, but it is genuinely misleading, and in cache-heavy games like Dota, Rust and Valheim that gap costs you more than the two extra cores gain you.

That's also what's happening on the screen. When you raised this with support you were averaging around 220fps at 240Hz. A panel doing that is working as intended. What you're feeling is frametime spikes rather than refresh rate, and they come from the same cache limitation.

This was a terrible experience

This was a terrible experience - After receiving the SMS that my parcel will be delivered with in 48hrs. I waited 5 days and then phoned the courier company they then told me the parcel wasn't ever received from evetech yet. Phoned evetech and people there wasn't very helpful either or knowledgeable with regards of how to assist. Next time I would rather pay a bit more and get good service.

Hi Wilhelm,

A 48-hour estimate that turns into five days, with the courier saying they never had the parcel, is a real gap wherever it happened. And calling us should have gotten you a straight answer, not more confusion.

That's not the experience we want anyone to have, and we're sorry it went this way. We're reviewing how we work with our courier partners so gaps like this don't repeat.

Evetech Centurion Repairs: 12-Day Delay + PSU Installed Upside-Down + Tried to Downgrade My PSU

Dropped my PC off at Evetech Centurion on 13 November 2025 for a simple case-audio repair.
Paid R599 upfront for a “full diagnostic”.
After 12 days of endless excuses and zero updates (despite numerous calls and five emails), I finally collected my PC on 25 November 2025.
What happened next:
• Support manager Wian van Niekerk declared my perfectly good 750 W 80 PLUS Gold Gamdias KRATOS PSU faulty because of a 10-second discharge whine after shutdown – a completely normal behaviour on that model and thousands of other budget PSUs.
• He tried to replace it with an 850 W 80 PLUS Bronze unit, claiming it was “better”. It is not – it’s a clear downgrade in efficiency and quality.
• When I eventually got the PC back with my original PSU reinstalled, the technician had mounted it completely upside-down (fan facing the bottom shroud).
• This caused the fan blades to scrape loudly against the case – a noise that would have destroyed the fan bearing over time.
• To fix their mistake, I had to cut multiple zip ties the technician had used, ruining my cable management.
I corrected everything myself the same evening.
This is multiple breaches of the Consumer Protection Act (Sections 54, 55 & 56) and outright incompetence.
I have photos of the upside-down PSU and cut zip ties.
Warning:
Do NOT trust Evetech Centurion with repairs or RMAs. They will misdiagnose normal behaviour as faults, try to downgrade your components, hold your PC for weeks, and return it in worse condition than you brought it in.
Job/reference number available on request.

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Evetech.

I bought a custom-built PC from them in December 2024, and within five months, the GPU failed due to “corrosion.” I replaced it myself (R1,099) and even added an extra fan (R249) and a R3,500 dehumidifier to protect the system. A few months later, the motherboard and CPU also failed for the same reason.

My office is 1 km from the beach, but it’s well-ventilated, with a dehumidifier running 12 hours a day, silica gel in the case, and no other electronics in the same room have ever failed — including another PC, router, TV, and gaming console.

Despite all this, Evetech kept blaming “environmental factors” and refused to take responsibility. They hide behind the manufacturer instead of honouring their duties under the Consumer Protection Act, which clearly says the supplier is responsible for providing quality, durable goods.

In total, I’ve spent R7,491.85 trying to fix issues that should never have happened in the first place.
If corrosion in less than a year is “normal,” then no one living on the South African coastline could ever own a computer.

Hi Michael,

A four-day gap before dispatch, then a delivery date that slipped from Friday to Monday, isn't the standard we're aiming for — sorry it played out that way. Appreciate you flagging it plainly.

Extremely disappointed with Evetech’s customer service.

I had a return RMA scheduled for collection on 05/05/2025, which never happened. Worse still, I received no communication or updates whatsoever. I had to call them myself to find out what was going on—only to be told about courier issues after the missed date. No email, no SMS, nothing.

This isn't the first time, either. When the original order was delivered, I also had to follow up myself because there was no communication from their side.

Evetech is quick and responsive when taking your money, but the moment you need support—especially for a return—the service becomes shockingly poor. Rescheduling without notice, failing to communicate, and making the customer chase them is completely unprofessional.

Unless you’re 100% sure you won’t need any after-sales support, I strongly suggest staying away. This level of service is unacceptable, and I’ll be reporting the issue further if it’s not resolved immediately.

Evetech is the Worst Company I’ve Ever Dealt With

I am furious with the appalling service I’ve received from Evetech. For TWO YEARS, they failed to repair my laptop, despite hundreds of emails, countless follow-ups, and undeniable evidence of the issues. I wasted so much time and money driving back and forth, only to have my laptop returned to me UNFIXED every single time.

What makes this worse is their complete lack of accountability. They blame their warranty partner, Pinnacle, but the truth is that Evetech didn’t even send the laptop to them until the THIRD time it broke. Why was this not done earlier? Why did I have to fight so hard just for basic service?

Their negligence has caused me immense stress and inconvenience. I was forced to purchase a new laptop because they left me with no choice. I even have medical documentation from my psychologist and psychiatrist to prove how much this experience has affected my mental health.

I also have video evidence of the hardware fault, which I sent them—dated and undeniable—and they STILL ignored me. Where are the updates they promised? Where is the compensation for the stress, financial loss, and time I’ve wasted? This company is unethical, unprofessional, and a complete disgrace.

Evetech’s customer service is non-existent. Their Hellopeter and Trustpilot scores of 2.2/5 are no surprise—it’s shocking that they’re even in business. Future customers need to know what kind of company they’re dealing with. Evetech has wasted my time, my money, and my energy. Do NOT make the mistake of trusting them.

I have tried setting up meetings with management. Johann Bothma, who I believe is the manager, has been stalling and stalling. I am still trying to get help from him!

Avoid Evetech at all costs. They don’t deserve your business.

Stay away from Evetech

Stay away from Evetech. I've rate them 1 star but really it should be zero or negative 5. I am disgusted with their poor service, inefficiency and total disregard for me as a long standing customer.
My hp laptop issues have been going on for 2 years now. 4 weeks after purchase it glitches and had to go in. UNACCEPTABLE. It's been in 4 times now. Repeated failure to send to the correct service place. I am grossly disappointed with Evetech. They refuse to engage and keep fobbing me off to a different department. Going round in frustrating circles for 2 years is outrageous.
