Complete scammers

Complete scammers. If I could rate 0 star I would. Communication has been very poor, delivery dates have come & gone multiple times. Promises have been made with no deliveries. Can’t get a hold of them anymore & they no longer reply at all, completely ghosted.

***UPDATE***
After issuing them with a letter of demand they have paid the refund in full. Will never order with them again though.

Hi Ryan,

We sincerely apologise for your experience with order #383729.

Your order was placed on 19 August 2026 and processed for dispatch on 08 September 2026. Due to unforeseen shipping delays during transit, your delivery is currently running two days past the estimated delivery date. We fully acknowledge how frustrating any delay is and apologise for missing the initial timeframe.

Your package is currently in transit to our warehouse, and as soon as it arrives, it will be dispatched immediately via courier directly to your door, with full tracking details provided to you.

At DistriNode, our commitment to our customers is absolute: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We do not retain payment for any order that we cannot fulfill to your satisfaction.

We sincerely regret the slight delay and appreciate your patience as we work to get your order delivered as quickly as possible. If you need any immediate assistance or tracking updates, please feel free to contact us at sales@distrinode.co.za or via WhatsApp at 076 448 1562.

Kind regards,
The DistriNode Team

Would never use them.

Order a motherboard and over a month later I still haven't received the item. Luckily I chose the CoD option so no money lost, just time. I sent them a message on the website that I'd like to cancel my order due to time wasting, and that I already went and bought a motherboard elsewhere as I couldn't wait for them.

Hi Warren,

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to address your review and clarify the status of your transaction.

Your order was placed on 31 July 2026. After receiving the order and preparing it for dispatch, we requested payment to finalise the transaction. However, no payment was ever received or cleared on our system. When payment was requested, you declined and requested to cancel the order, which was completed as requested on 26 August 2026.

At DistriNode, our policy is absolute: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We do not retain payment for orders we cannot fulfill, nor do we withhold funds for cancelled transactions. Because no payment was ever received, no funds were collected or retained.

If you believe a payment was deducted from your account, please reach out to us directly at accounts@distrinode.co.za or via WhatsApp at 076 448 1562 with your proof of payment so our finance team can immediately investigate this with our payment gateway.

Kind regards,
The DistriNode Team

Hi Nectarios,

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration caused by the delay in fulfilling order #379614.

Your order was placed on 08 August 2026, prepared for dispatch on 27 August 2026, handed over to the courier on 08 September 2026, and successfully delivered today, 10 September 2026. We fully acknowledge that waiting this long for your delivery fell far short of the standard of service we strive to provide.

The stock fulfillment timeline provided to us by the supplier involved was unreliable, resulting in an extended wait time before the item reached our dispatch stage. Because of failures like this, we have terminated our relationship with that supplier to ensure our fulfillment processes are faster and more dependable going forward.

At DistriNode, our commitment is simple: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We never retain payment for an unfulfilled order, and while we are glad your order has now been safely delivered, we regret the delay and inconvenience you experienced along the way.

We appreciate your patience and your feedback, as it helps us take necessary action to improve our service for all our customers.

Kind regards,
The DistriNode Team

Unacceptable refund delays and non-existent support – Avoid Distro Node

On August 14th, I ordered an Echo Show 8 from Distro Node. The next morning, I cancelled the order to purchase two different items from their store instead and requested a refund.

I was told the refund could only be processed after the product arrived in South Africa. It has now been three weeks, the product still has not arrived in the country, and my refund remains unprocessed for an order I cancelled weeks ago.

Their operations present several major issues:

Inoperable phone numbers: Their listed contact numbers do not work.

Repetitive AI bots: Customer communication is limited to AI bots providing generic, automated responses.

No PayFast recourse: PayFast offers no mechanism for customers to report merchants who take payments for stock they do not possess.

Do not waste your money with Distro Node. Holding customer funds for unfulfilled, non-existent inventory while providing zero human support is completely unacceptable.

Hi Lungelo,

We sincerely apologise for your experience with order #380956.
Your order was placed on 14 August 2026, and the item only arrived at our warehouse on 02 September 2026. We fully acknowledge that waiting well past your expected delivery timeframe without fulfillment was frustrating and fell short of the level of service and communication we aim to provide.

The delivery timeline provided to us by the supplier proved to be unreliable, resulting in a significant delay before the stock reached our warehouse. Regardless of supplier delays, we recognise that it is our responsibility to manage expectations and keep our customers properly informed.
Most importantly, your order was fully refunded. At DistriNode, when we are unable to fulfil an order, our commitment is simple: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We do not retain payment for an order that we cannot fulfil.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and for the inconvenience this caused you. We appreciate your feedback, as it has highlighted an area where we have made changes to improve how we monitor supplier shipments and communicate with our customers going forward.

Kind regards,

Placed an order on the 18th of August for expected delivery on the 30th of August. Sent a follow up email on the morning on the 1st September and was emailed I. The afternoon that my order was cancelled and they will return my money on 14 days. Absolutely terrible service. Save yourself the time and hassle and purchase from another supplier.

Hi Nicholas,

We sincerely apologise for your experience with order #383180.

Your order was placed on 18 August 2026 after we confirmed stock availability with our supplier. Regrettably, on 01 September 2026, the supplier informed us that the item was ultimately out of stock and cancelled the order on their end. We fully acknowledge how frustrating it is to have an order cancelled after stock availability was initially confirmed.

The inventory management and communication provided to us by this supplier proved to be completely unreliable. As a direct result of service failures like this, we have terminated our relationship with that supplier to protect our customers and ensure higher standards moving forward.

At DistriNode, our policy is absolute: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We do not retain payment for orders we cannot fulfill, and your order was fully refunded on the same day we received your banking details.

We sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this caused you. If you have any further questions or require confirmation of the transaction, please feel free to reach out to us at accounts@distrinode.co.za or via WhatsApp at 076 448 1562.

I placed an order on the 24th of August, til today I haven't received any communication whatsoever. I placed an order on a small item trying to test the process, if it is legit but looks like its a con job. I had high hopes with this online store as I was looking to buy a few items from them but won't be going forward with them.

Fantastic pricing and product range

Fantastic pricing and product range and the staff are friendly, which is quite impressive for a small, new local online store.

One thing to take into account is that some of the imported items can take quite a while to get delivered and the estimated delivery isn't quite accurate which is understandable.

One area that DistriNode can perhaps improve on is better communication and notification of package and delivery status. The guess work can make a customer a bit nervous.

Will I ever receive my item or have I been scammed? I made a purchase on the 12th August 2026, with an estimated delivery date of the 25th August 2026. I queried them on the 25th and was advised that the item was in transit to the main warehouse on the 18th August 2026. The new estimated delivery date is today, the 27th August 2026. Whatsapp and phone and email cant be reached. I am concerned.

Hi Hennie,

We sincerely apologise for the frustration surrounding order #383387.

Your order was placed and paid for on 19 August 2026, prepared for dispatch on 27 August 2026, and shipped via courier on 08 September 2026. We fully acknowledge that the delay in getting your shipment out fell short of the service standard we aim to provide.

While we always encourage customers to reach out to us directly for an immediate cancellation and full refund—which we process without hassle—you opted to initiate a chargeback dispute directly with your bank after receiving your courier waybill details.

As a result, the matter has entered the formal banking dispute process. Per banking regulations, we were required to submit all transaction, tracking, and fulfillment documentation to your bank. The bank is currently reviewing the case, which takes up to 21 business days to resolve, and the final outcome rests entirely with them.

At DistriNode, our commitment remains simple: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We never retain payment for an order we cannot fulfil. While we must now await the bank’s official resolution, we sincerely apologise for the delays that led to this situation and appreciate your patience while the process concludes.

Kind regards,
The DistriNode Team

Con Job?

i am starting to think that my order was a Con.. its a month after purchase and i still dont have a tracking number for my R17500 purchase.. i did manage to talk to someone 3 days after i bought but the number has been off since and they do not reply to any email enquiries from their website. even when i call from a different number their phone goes straight to voicemail.. terrible customer service and very possibly an outright con job..

do yourself a favour, buy elsewhere..

Hi Andrew,

We sincerely apologise for your experience with order #377319.

Your order was placed on 31 July 2026, prepared for dispatch on 27 August 2026, and shipped via courier on 08 September 2026. We fully acknowledge that waiting this long for delivery was deeply frustrating and fell far short of the level of service and communication we aim to provide.

The stock and fulfillment process provided to us by the supplier proved to be unreliable, resulting in severe delays. We have since terminated our relationship with that supplier and have taken steps to ensure that this particular situation does not happen again.

We understand that you rejected the delivery upon arrival. While we have not yet received a formal refund request from you, our commitment at DistriNode is simple: we either deliver the order as expected or refund the customer in full. We do not retain payment for an order that has been rejected or cannot be fulfilled to your satisfaction.

We sincerely apologise for the extreme delay and the inconvenience this caused you. Please reach out to us at accounts@distrinode.co.za or via WhatsApp at 076 448 1562 with your banking details so our team can process your full refund immediately.

no communication after first purchase to this shop. Whatsapp and email go unanswered. Call goes straight to voicemail. This is 2 days after purchase. Unacceptable for an online store. Cancelled transaction at bank. Waste of time and money.
UPDATE: this company is deliberately scamming people. They keep on promising refunds using an AI auto prompter. It's now obvious they are lying and have no intention of doing what they say.

Your order was placed on 18 August 2026, and we received your request to cancel the order on 20 August 2026. We immediately processed the cancellation on our end, but we have been unable to issue your refund as we are still awaiting your banking details to complete the transfer.

I made an urgent order and received some updates about the delivery, but after weeks of waiting nothing has arrived and I have cancelled my order after a significant waste of time. This company's reluctance to provide a delivery date is beyond unacceptable. No one has contacted me about this, despite their AI bot promising that someone would. All I receive are AI generated replies that continue to lie about the delivery status, because each response tells me to wait another 24–48 hours, but nothing happens. The item supposedly arrived in the country a week ago, but it's AI-automated administration goes around in circles and claims that it does not know where the item is. It is clear that whoever owns this company lacks the time to run it and thought it would be clever to over-leverage cheap AI solutions, while providing false expected delivery times. This company has all the signs that it is run by 1 person and an AI bot. It is clearly risky and a gamble to order from this company.

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience with order #378484 did not meet your expectations.

We have reviewed the order and would like to clarify the timeline. Your order was placed on 04 August 2026, with an estimated arrival date at our warehouse of 21 August 2026. The stock actually arrived at our warehouse on 20 August 2026, one day ahead of that estimated date. However, as additional time was still required to process and dispatch the order to your door, you chose to cancel the order rather than wait through the courier transit period.

We completely understand that overall waiting times can be frustrating, and we respect your decision to cancel. At the same time, we believe it is important to clarify that the stock itself reached our warehouse within the timeframe originally provided.

Most importantly, your order was fully refunded. At DistriNode, when an order is cancelled, our commitment is simple: we either deliver the order or refund the customer in full. We do not retain payment for an order that we cannot fulfil to the customer's satisfaction.

We sincerely apologise that the overall experience did not work out for you, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue to refine our processes and delivery timelines.

Kind regards,
