Do not do business with them please read why.....

This is a warning to all who are thinking about doing business with this company. On 02/10/2025 I purchased a VANTRUE N4 PRO dash cam. The company said that this item was in stock and that they would ship within 3-5 business days.7 days after I purchased and paid for this item, the company said that they were still processing my order. I first tried to reach out by phone but received no response, subsequently I then email the company. I received no response. I finally got a return email on day 8, saying that their VOIP was down and that they did not have the stock on hand. They also said that the bulk order they had placed with their supplier would be received within 7 days. Once again, I emailed the company on 02/25/2025 as the site said my order was still being processed. Following my email, the company responded informing me that their bulk order had not been shipped to them yet and that they did not have an ETA for me. I then emailed them and inquired about compensation due to the delay. I received a response mail from them, saying that they would refund my money as a compensation. They then refunded my payment; no apology or further explanation was given by them. I tried contact then again by phone to no avail.

HI Karen,

Subject: RE: Your The Car Dash Cam Store order has been received!

Good day,

We are pleased to inform you your order has been cancelled and you have been refunded.

We are sorry our time line was delayed due to Chinese new year ( 2 weeks of closure in china ) as well as the large back orders our manufacturers had once they got back from their annual holiday.
We hope you find the product you are looking for,
"

We have told you in the terms and conditions that we do ship within 3 to 5 days, this means from our SA office OR from our Shenzhen office,. We also told you that due to the Chinese new year Vantrue was closed and as a result they had global back orders from all over the world along with ours,

as we do not compensate and our Terms and conditions you agreed to on checkout clearly state we will refund you should the product not be on time or you are not satisfied.

Yes we had VoIP issues with our PABX in SA, this was eventually resolved.

Out of interest sake the stock arrived on the 27/02/2025 and we already dispersed all the Vantrue stock.

Warning about cardashcam.co.za

cardashcam.co.za
This is a warning not to do business with this site or it's director. He advertised products as being avaiable when he does not have stock.
He will take your money and not inform you after you have paid that there is no stock.
When you query why your product has not shipped he will give you a story about some company having taken all his stock a few hours before your order and that he is waiting for new stock.
When you ask for a refund, although your funds have been in their account for days, he will make you wait.
And after all this, he will reply with un-professional comments and child like behaviour. All in all a very poor experience to be had.

Great Service from The Car Dash Cam Store

Car Dash Cam Store provided prompt responses on all my questions and when I proceeded with my order the delivery was fast and I was kept up to date with the process. The actual camera works well as advertised.

The delivery was on time and the system was easy to install. This is my second system I bought. My wife feels more confident with her camera. The picture quality is great. I use mine to check road for faults and record it and send to contractor to repair. The GPS works very well in this sense.

I ultimately purchased the dashcam via Takealot but dealt with the "The Car Dash Cam Store" for the kits needed to have the dashcam installed (hardwired) into my car. My only gripe with everything was the cost, R750 to install it and if I didn't take the car to the installers house, I would've paid R750 plus petrol. I did my enquiries and most car electronics places charged much less but I decided to go this this route to just make sure I don't mess with any warranty related queries down the line. The installer was a nice guy to deal with as well.

Thank you for your Review and choosing us to do the installation, our installers are certified by all the dash cameras we supply, making it an safer choice for installation as they don't just install the camera but also set it up for you and show you how to use the camera to its best abilities. We also carry stock of spares should anything on the camera break during installation we will replace these parts no questions asked,

Got banned from this store for legally purchasing a Dashcam from Viofo.

I bought a Viofo dashcam from the Viofo shop on Amazon. I subsequently found this site on the Internet and tried to buy some accessories and he basically accused me of importing the cam illegally. He subsequently refunded me for the online purchase I tried to make from his store and he banned me from any future purchases.
Screen shot attached to show proof of being banned.

Dear Sir, We have not banned you from our site, nor have we accused you of importing the camera illegally, in fact it is not illegal to import an gray or parallel product,

As per our terms and conditions https://cardashcam.co.za/terms-and-conditions/
"
Gray or Prallel Imported Goods
“Grey” goods or parallel imports are goods that have been imported into a country through unofficial or unauthorized distribution channels. Grey goods are not illegal. But because they have not been imported through official channels, if the good breaks, the official supplier will refuse to uphold the warranty and has the right to decline supplying accessories for Gray or Parallel Imported Goods."

We cannot honor the imported cameras warrantee as it is not brought in through the official channels, it also avoids finger pointing should any accessories be found faulty or incompatible with the camera.

We trust you understand our view and why we have made this decision,

UPDATED: We have looked and confirmed you are not banned on our website at all, our refunds team has unfortunately not changed the refund reference in this case
