Long delays, shifting explanations â still waiting after 5+ months
I ordered an Atlas wind turbine (body and blades) on 29 January 2026 for ZAR 25,800. The order remains listed as âProcessingâ more than five months later, and I have still not received the product.
Over this period I opened several support tickets requesting updates. The responses changed each time:
February: âManufacturing of Motor 3 â Ropingâ stage - how long does it take to wind a motor???
March: Blade sets being manufactured - pressed and coated aluminium - 1 day
April: Production and testing âmay take longer than expectedâ
May: Order âshipped to our distribution hub,â with mentions of rare-earth material restrictions and aluminium shortages
July: Still no delivery
While the replies were generally courteous, the pattern of successive manufacturing and supply-chain explanations, combined with the complete lack of delivery or a firm timeline, has left me without the product I paid for.
Based on this experience I would strongly advise potential buyers to treat any delivery promises with caution and to consider the risk of extended delays before placing an order.
