Scammers with lies and more lies
Scammers with lies and more lies. Goods never arrove they lie about their bad reviews and state they dont take payment before the shipment arrives yet their own terms conditions say completely the oposite, their vat number is fake and the bank account does not match. Totally unknown “distributor” with zero authorisation from manufacturers and no telephone numbers work or WA and there premises is a house in centurion and it’s all complete online scam attempting to sell via a fancy site with ZERO credibility - don’t trust these scammers or buy from them as they WILL burn you

I don't know what to think anymore
I don't know what to think anymore. But I think I'm being taken for a ride. There's this person called William, he doesn't reply to emails and when he does its always lies after lies. I was promised I'll get a tracking link and waybill today but haven't received it yet. On Saturday 12 Sept I promised a goodwill refund that will be processed immediately as I wait for a order but nothing.
Ive concluded that either they are scammers as people are saying or they're just amateurs who don't know what they're doing.

Delivery service
Order #388069 was placed on September 2nd. The last communication received was an automated notification on the same date, confirming that the order was being processed.
Since then, there has been no further communication regarding the order's status. Multiple attempts to contact the company via email and phone have been unsuccessful.
A support ticket was also generated through the AI chat facility, but no follow-up contact has been received.
The complete lack of response and resolution has led to significant concern regarding the fulfillment of this order.
Whoever wants to use this company to order online equipment should re-think.

JUST BE PATIENT
If you are impatient, or need the items quickly don’t order here.
BUT, if you can wait this is the best service in town. I ordered the Akai MPC Sample in early August, and the item arrived 6/7 weeks later. Overall 25% cheaper than if I were to import through a local vendor.
Now that I know to just wait, Ill defs use them again for more niche audio gear, and computer hardware.

Up-and-coming business with lots of potential
I ordered a phone from Distrinode that is not available anywhere in South Africa. I sent them numerous emails throughout the process as I was nervous about making my first expensive purchase with a young company. They always responded in a very helpful and timely manner.
The process did not go completely smoothly, hence why I did not give 5 stars. Delivery of my purchase was delayed multiple times and I was unable to use the "Pay on Delivery" option due to courier issues. However, Distrinode remained extremely helpful and honest throughout the process. I received my phone in perfect condition and I definitely would not have been able to get it in South Africa for the great price that I got on Distrinode.
This company is in no way a scam. I am emphasising this point because I was struggling to find a review that clarified this when I did my research about the company. If you decide to shop with Distrinode, you might not get your product on time, but you will definitely get excellent customer service and a product that is in excellent condition.
This is an up-and-coming business in South Africa that is very honest about their faults and even more willing to improve. I hope they remain open for a long time and continue to improve!

On 24th August I ordered and paid for…
On 24th August I ordered and paid for an item, was told to expect delivery 2 September. 11 September I'd still not received delivery and subsequently requested refund, which I received 15 September. However still a frustrating experience, communication was slow, perhaps quote realistic lead times for delivery?

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.

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.

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,

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,

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.

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.

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.

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,
