Tekmart really put in the effort
I placed an order for some items from Tekmart and it was delayed due for some reason on their end beyond their control. They were of course very apologetic and promised to make it right. Well I was greatly impressed me by the efforts taken by the team at Tekmart to get me my order even over the weekend. Thank you all for the efforts and I would strongly recommend and will continue to be a customer. Regards, Nick

Great help from Tekmart stand-by support team
We were looking to purchase a replacement controller for a client IBM storwize storage system when one in the storage packed up. We did a bit of searching and found this supplier who had the units ready that we could collect same day. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Being in Cape town, we opted for their delivery than collection. Looks like they get orders out when they promise. In my case, they went out of the way to have the units shipped same day to Cape Town. Totally unheard of in these days though their couriers were a bit expensive. Ordered on Tuesday evening, 07 /11 , received Wednesday 08/11 afternoon. Their website was accurate with the details that we required. I actually liked the compatibility section showing the other systems this same part would work with. Not sure how they do it but I found it quite helpful. I would consider them again purely for this first experience.

Unbelievable service
Im a first time client of Tekmart. Ordered a product on a thursday with info I was given from someone else. Realised they gave me the wrong info and that I ordered the wrong item from Tekmart. Dropped them an email explaining the error and they where only to happy to change the order for me, over a weekend. Amazing service in this day and age. Thank you Tekmart for your absolutely amazing service.

Patient and good communication
I’ve worked with Tekmart on a variety of projects over the past several months, and have been very impressed by the team's energy. Terrence has been great. We exchange a few phone calls and e-mails, and they handle the rest. Each consultant will know what the other is doing which is great to know in case another one is away and is good for continuity. They know what you want, and they deliver. What is great is that they go out of the way to suggest alternatives that would work in a request incase they don't have the particular part number in stock. Any maintenance company trying to figure out how to get going would do well to have Tekmart’s help.
Abdi Kadir, Cape Town
Thank you!
Great place for server parts. Good communication and fast delivery. Thinus went above and beyond to help answer questions about some configurations and other questions I had. Our drives arrived well packed and worked without issue. The SAS HDDs were in flawless shape (incl. SMART stats). I send my highest recommendation to work with them!

Always a pleasure to do business with tekmart africa.
We have used the services of Tekmart Africa for a few months now and have not been disappointed. Their technical and sales teams have the uncommon skill of listening carefully to the problem presented. They have always responded to our needs in a very timely manner and worked hard to solve any issues that have occurred. They have become more than a great business relationship, they feel more like an extension of company. Their response to our unique and different needs is extremely timely and the diversity of their enterprise support teams, from network to hardware solutions and replacement spares, makes them a key part of our business. Being in Harare, they have always suggested the fastest way to have our parts delivered every time we make an order. I fully recommend their honest, cost-effective services. Also their quick, professional service makes it a pleasure to work with them

Reliable supplier and great support when you need it.
We have had a long term relationship with Tekmart and and recently while we undertook a major upgrade to our IT systems, they came through for us with procurement of the hardware & software licenses on our behalf. The amazing part of having them as a support system is that they can assist you with pretty much any hardware you would need ! They also communicate frequently and consistently throughout the buying process, sending e-mails when they need clarification and informing us when they need us to review changes. This constant and frequent communication has allowed us to answer each others questions, reduce confusion and keep the project we undertake moving forward through a series of small checkpoints along the way. We are very pleased with this relationship, and intend to send more business their way. The team’s ability to mould themselves to our way of working is great. I recommend their teams.
Rodrigo Manhica, Maputo
Thank you again for the help- great service and awesome work
From day one, we knew choosing Tekmart Africa for our maintenance server parts was the right decision. Their company culture is transparent, every employee, irrespective of their position is given a chance to be heard. I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you guys do a really good job for us. Being a managed services company, we're glad that we decided to work together with you as partners. You clearly understand our situation everytime and know exactly what our client would be looking for. You are able to get us the correct kit even if we sometimes do not have the correct part numbers of the units. We were initially amazed by how little effort was required on our part to prepare these parts. An exchange of a few phone calls and e-mails, and they handle the rest. With their help we can move forward with more confidence than ever before. Priceless.
Johan Mostert, Ermelo, Mpumalanga
Reliable partner with great bunch of technical guys.
Tekmart sets the bar very high in quality of product, service and pricing. They handle everything we need, are very responsive, and are great to work with. I like the prices and selection of products, and the no-hassle return/exchange process. They are my first choice for hardware purchases. We have nothing but positive experiences with them and especially Justin, our sales guy who is top notch. The value and service cannot be beaten. Much better than OEM support. I recommend them to all my IT friends.
Herman Kriel, Kirstenbosch, Cape Town
good customer service and excellent quality product
We ordered some server parts for a community project we had been commisioned to do. Because the price of the item was so low, I expected a problem and wanted to replace or cancel my order. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by knowledgeable and courteous service from the Tekmart.co.za sales team. Mistakes happen, and when they do, you want to deal with a company like this, who really goes the extra mile to ensure their customers are happy. While the Item did not arrive as quickly as we had hoped.... Communication was open and honest as to the status. The board arrived in a static protective bag on time and in excellent condition. Our technician removed the old motherboard and installed the new one. Everything worked perfectly when he booted up with no glitches or software issues. It's been over a week since the install and no problems. I would recommend this supplier for any Dell motherboards.
Motsamai Clement, Francistown
Thank you
The team have shown great skill and vast storage hardware knowledge and their IT expertise is reliable and trustworthy. We would recommend Tekmart to anyone looking for quality IT hardware and services, delivered in a professional manner. Where there has been minor problems along the way; these were sorted out quickly and efficiently. The customer service and "follow up" we experienced from them was simply flawless.
Markus Van der Walt, Potchefstroom, North West
Professional, conscientious and thoroughly competent team
We have worked with Tekmart on various infrastructure projects and find that they provide quality service and expertise for our server and storage needs. It is rare to find a service provider with such professional consistency. They have shown enormous skill and are a valued service provider to our business-especially Thinus, Justin and Terrence. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the team to other MSPs. It has always been an absolute pleasure to work with them.
Mohammed Cassim, Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal
Patient and helpful sales advisors and great support
Very open, honest, and direct dialogue with their sales and support teams. I really appreciate it. The website is responsive making it easy for me to find what I need and get it delivered where and when I need it.
Sadiq Ahmed, Sandton, Johannesburg
Good vendor. Trustworthy, highly skilled and experienced team
I can't say enough great things about Tekmart. They know their stuff and are extremely friendly and easy to work with. As a mid-sized company, we rely on them to keep our computer hardware procurement and supply and our people focused on their jobs and not on maintenance of our servers. They have always stepped up to the plate overseeing that side and their technicians make things easy for us. They are thorough and polite. I always know things are going to get fixed in a timely matter.
Japie Van Zyl, Rustenburg, North West
Supplier of choice for enterprise and EOSL parts
Tekmart came highly recommended from one of our clients. We maintain systems across brands so it was just natural that we had to use them. Our clients need clear answers and recommendations plus firm ETAs on parts for their systems. We have been lucky that most of the parts we have needed have been in stock and readily available from them. Their site is well organized with lots of technical details and simple to use. We occasionally point to the website to cross-check on some parts and compatibilities knowing that information is correct and is highly rated by peers. The availability of some of these hard to find parts have enabled us to avoid early exit penalties. Their support desk is manned by great technical guys who are always willing to listen and help.
Rudi van Jaarsveld, Bronberrick, Centurion
Simple to find the right part and to order
We appreciate the convenience offered by this site! I have used Tekmart Africa many times before, pricing is great but the beauty has always been the ready availability of parts, and conveniently located on our way in the Office park in Meyersdal ,Alberton off the R59, we have placed online orders in the office and collected them on the way to the site. For our maintenance sparing, we have always relied on them to provide us with quality tested and inspected server replacement parts. Great bunch of guys with lots of technical knowledge on the products they sell.
Heinrich Beukes, Vanderbijlpark
Good product description/compatibility list
Our company has been ordering hard drives from this supplier for quite some time now, and last week had the opportunity to claim warranty. The replacement drive was sent without hesitation. We buy parts from them with confidence that they are standing behind the products they sell. The most important recommendation is the level of detail on all the products available. Buying parts for servers can be nuanced when needing to match with existing RAM and Drives. Tekmart makes that very easy and risk free.
Raj Naidoo, Durban
Quick delivery, easy to find what parts you're looking for
I have used Tekmart for many years because they always have the items I need in stock and ready to courier to us. On the rare occassion that I have had to use their customer service, they have always been prompt and willing to work with me. I always receive clear answers and recommendations. They are an essential resource for maintaining our servers -- particularly the older ones for which parts can otherwise be difficult to find. It's the best place I've found to find our maintenance replacement parts.
Cronje Jacques, Tshwane
Thank you for the support and great service
I was impressed, not only with the depth of knowledge held by your technical sales consultants, but the willingness to help me out of my predicament. The responses were accurate, professional, and competitive… which made our jobs all the more easier. Justin spent a long time on the phone with me. I just wanted to give a compliment to the technical team and the way they have continually followed up with our internal IT guys to ensure the repair went as intended. I will use you again.
Jacques Louw, Lephalale
Good and extremely helpful partners
We feel like we are your only customer as you are always available to help us with whatever situations that come up. It’s all about the great relationships and trust that we have built over time with the different teams at Tekmart Africa. They are good partners to us helping navigate IT while we concentrate on our non-hardware core-business. This means a lot to us.
Chris De Oliviera, Cape Town
A responsive Tekmart team that is true to their commitment
Your team members are very patient and great at walking a client through easy solutions. The level of customer service is truly my favourite. We are an ISP and cannot afford downtime. Good people, collaborative, who understand our pain points and are an extension of our team. They are a great bunch of pros to work with, consistent timeliness of response to issues and problems. These guys sell hardware and offer support for free ! The support team resolved a major problem within a short time span (a VNX 55XX block that failed) because the SPSs faulted, which minimized downtime significantly. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how helpful ... your office was in a time of near desperation. The team members that I have dealt with-Justin, Kobus and Terrence, ... have helped make my job much easier. It has been a pleasure working with Tekmart, and I can only rave over the high standards that you have maintained relative to our hardware requirements.
Ben Greyvenstein, East London
Good service and support. Recommend.
I have placed many rush orders from this site because they have a vast range of stock products and the extremely good FedEx delivery terms. I have not been disappointed yet. Each time I receive free technical support and discounts. Also the packages arrive quickly for my orders in my country. Thank you.
Wilbard Shiweda, Windhoek
Great site with hardware technology explained in plain English
We needed to buy some parts for a discontinued HP server and a replacement tape library that we had been using for many years. We did a bit of google search and came across this company. We got pleasantly surprised to find they had an exact unit like ours in stock and at a very good price. Their prices were very reasonable when you consider the quality of the refurb and the 1 year guarantee they give. We only had the part numbers and models for the parts. We called. Terrence who was more than happy to answer questions, responded quickly to my enquiries and confirmed details to be sure that what we were getting would be compatible with our existing setup. Next came the online ordering. This was simple and easy for me to do. The site has good detailed info on every product with clear explanations in simple English. Easy to use. We have received the items I ordered; everything is working, and appears to be just what I needed and expected. Being a small manufacturing company, I will definitely be buying from Tekmart in the future and will keep them on my "go to" suppliers list. Quick delivery and excellent communication. Thank you.
Willie Venter, Lydenburg
Great online journey at Tekmart Online. Thank you Mckay
We bought some hard to source items at great price with FedEx Express shipping. Their website was easy to traverse. It was easy to find the parts that we needed and easy to navigate through the website purchasing process. We were able to get the exact delivery costs just before checking out and this helped that we didn’t have to call and request a delivery quote which would have caused some delays. The product description on their website was clear and helpful. The response times were pretty quick and our power supplies arrived yesterday exactly as described. I must mention that the sales support consultant I dealt with was extremely helpful and courteous. We have just restored back our server into production this afternoon and all is well. Thanks again to Justin and the team for going out of your way to make this happen. We will be back thanks.
Lucky Mahlosane, Manzini
A great company to partner for enterprise parts.
We have been with Tekmart Africa long before they re-branded. Not only are their consultants technically proficient, but I really love that they have always been able to explain concepts about parts compatibility to our employees in a manner that is easy for them to understand. They offer prompt service and superior technicians who are respectful of all users' experience levels, all without complaining. We also love how quickly we get help when we call or email and how we are not just depending on one particular person to get to us in a long list of their clients. All the team members in both sales and support are very patient and great at walking you through easy solutions. They've scaled with us and successfully managed the technical aspects of our business. We highly recommend them; more so their enterprise support desk.
James Brand, Harare
Online tech shopping as it should be. Thank you Tekmart Online
Tekmart has always been my first choice for replacement parts for Dell servers and storages. Some connecting cables and drives for our PowerVault MD1000 got misplaced in a company move and after some research found these replacement cables here. It was at a much better price than from Dell itself and works great! I get great customer service when I call and the check-out process is flawless. As an IT professional with many years in the industry, I am glad that they have made it easy to find the replacement parts I needed by searching using the part numbers. The product descriptions are easy to read and stock numbers are clearly displayed. This is one of the few places where I could buy discontinued 7-year old SAS hard drives to match existing drives in our PowerVault storage, new! All in all, it is an easy site to navigate and great over the phone support; items and prices are very good! Shipping is quick with excellent parcel and tracking quality.
David Jacobs, Gqeberha
Amazing after sales support from Tekmart Africa
We rely heavily on our IBM Power systems for our IT network. In the past we had a supplier managing all our IT hardware needs. We have always relied on their sales and technical support teams to answer our calls at any time of the day and provide us with prompt service... The engineers have always made things easy for us. We have replaced one of our servers and bought a storage system from them that put us into a domain environment. Kobus, from their technical support, kept us informed in their reasoning every step of the way on why we needed to standardize on Storwize SAN storage as they were carving out a solution for us. Essentially, they brought us up-to-date. We were using tape for backups and the new solution has migrated us to a more secure hybrid cloud and on-premise backup solution. Our business is now more secure after implementing a firewall they recommended as we had no firewall prior, resulting in a far more effective and secure disaster recovery plan. Kudos to the guys who manage their technical blog; very helpful and useful...
Clinton Rutgers, Sutherland, Northern Cape
Very easy and friendly website.
It was really easy and simple to create and set up an account with them for a first time user. Their listed data center product portfolio is wide and prices are ok. FedEx shipping is fast with excellent parcel and tracking quality though the charges sometimes seem exorbitant. Wish they would use a cheaper option for couriers. Just a suggestion. I will definitely be using this site in the future.
Abdul Karim, Kimberley
Full services great company. Great kit as always.
I always look forward to great conversations with the technical support specialists! They are a great company, knowledgeable, very helpful and quick to deliver. I love the quality of the refurbished products. Their one year warranty is extra peace of mind. We have ordered several servers from Tekmart Africa over the years and never been disappointed with the service. We usually create a custom configuration and they build it, turnaround is very fast with the server arriving a couple of days after ordering. I would be happy to buy from them again. Highly recommended!
Christiaan Kotze, Mahikeng
Great after sale service from Kobus.
Great experience at Tekmart Africa. The storage hard drives we bought for our P2000 HP are working perfectly. Thank you Kobus. It has been one month since we put them in production. The only small problem we had was to update the firmware on our storage system. He guided us via zoom and now all is looking ok.. We have been dealing with them for a few years now. They always have what we need and if it is out of stock by them, they will always go out of the way to accomodate us. It is great to have a partner who you can walk hand in hand with when it comes to hard to source hardware components.
Douglas Chirwali, Canontech, Lilongwe
Great and fast order processing!!
This solution consultant, Thinus, was very helpful, courteous and professional...reflects very well for Tekmart Africa. He helped me with my request quickly and answered all my questions. They have a great parts inventory and very fast delivery. I found my parts easily and quickly checked out. Buying was a pleasure and straight forward. I will be back again! Will highly recommend. Very professional.
Mathebula Johannes, Port Elizabeth
Quick response and good service
It was an easy online process to buy and have the goods shipped. Friendly staff and quick response times. We shall utilize this company again for our critical parts requirements in future.
Raja Vishnu, NetOne, Lusaka
Thank you
We bought a few of these boards for some discontinued HP Proliant server models still in use, and we needed them quickly. Our parcel arrived in proper packaging. Quick delivery by FedEx. It works as advertised. Works great and packaging was great. It was easy to order online and get a shipping price at checkout. Great thanks to Peter and Kobus. They informed me every step of the way from the time we placed the order to when delivery was done. Thank you brothers.
Charles Fenyang, IT Dynamics, Gaborone
Good service
Thank you so much. The ordering process was quick and easy with the rush order option. I'm hoping it arrives by tomorrow. I will add this company to my list of suppliers. :) Thank you
Charl Blignaut, Minuteman, East London
Good service and great support
At last a company that stocks hard to find parts locally. They saved us from importing some end-of-line Sun Micro Systems hard drives for a project from overseas. Great product knowledge and friendly staff. Everything done online from ordering to real time shipping quote by FedEx. They must be one of the few companies that can give firm instant international shipping rates for African Countries. FedEx rates a bit expensive but excellent service. Will do more business in future with these guys.
Patrick Mulenga, Independent Data Recovery Specialists, Lusaka
Great Service
Quick reply, good communications, fast shipping, highly recommended.
Victor Cronjé, CyberNet Consulting Services, Kloof
Excellent Service
Tekmart lived up to the promises made and the support saved me from additional expenditure.
Neville du Toit, KAYTECH NV DU TOIT, Cape Town
Excellent Service
The service I got from TEKMART and especially Peter, was way above my expectation. I was assisted with a part of one of our servers that not even the South African Main provider could supply us with. Thanks to Peter and his team, I was able to personally pick up the part from them, and have my server up and running much quicker than expected. Peter also assisted with additional valuable information. I really want to establish a relationship with this company, as it seems to be one of those that put customers first.
Johan Reyneke, Fezile Dabi District Municipality, Sasolburg
Excellent Service
The service received from Peter of this company was way above my exceptions. On a short notice I was able to acquire a spare part for one of our servers. I am so glad I found this company, and hopefully we will build a strong relationship going forward. Thanks again, as you have assisted us to get information stored on the server in a much shorter time as planned, as well as valuable information that we will use in the future
Johan Reyneke, Fezile Dabi District Municipality, Sasolburg
Brilliant Service
We have a great relationship with Tekmart Africa for our enterprise hardware requirements. Their staff is made up of the highest caliber of qualified consultants and technicians who are always available whenever we need them; they have assisted us throughout a number of IT projects and still do. Thanks Kobus, Terrence and the team. I would recommend Tekmart at any time.
Jamie Gallagher, EduServ, Johannesburg
Great Service
Exceptional customer services and a pleasure to do business with. Will gladly use Tekmart again and would highly recommend them.
Wojtek Wierzycki, Sygnia, Cape Town
Best service I have ever received from a Tech Company
What can I say about the guys over at Tekmart. Simply amazing company and service. I have been in the IT industry for over 20 years and NEVER have I come upon service delivery like this. I stumbled across these guys on google searching for parts for my servers and I am so thankful I did. All the parts that I needed were first tested in labs using my exact servers by Kobus and his team before confirmation was sent to me of what I needed. Peter delivered the parts to me the very same day the order was placed. Yes, people to my door, the same day. Over the next few days on upgrading these servers, Peter was at my office 4 times trying different solutions and Kobus testing on his side without charging me a cent for their time. Tekmart and these two gentlemen are serious about their clients and I can not thank them enough for what they did. For the time, passion and dedication to us as clients and making sure we are happy. They went far over what was expected. This is priceless. Thank you.
Shaun Le Roux, PerryHill International Trading (Pty) Ltd, Johannesburg
Thanks
Would wish to recommend the Tekmart team on an excellent service that we received last week. Our servers went down that also resulted in the VMs also getting off-line. Peter from the support team walked us on what needed to be done telephonically. They diagnosed accurately that it was one drive that failed. Turned out that we needed to replace the IBM drive that was suspect. Suffice to say, shortly after replacing the drive they provided, the RAID was online again and the VMs also came back on. We were able to work again. Thanks Team Tekmart.
Jacques De Villiers, IT Consultant, East London
3G/4G module
Bought one of these notebook add-on modules from Tekmart Africa. Must admit was easier than i initially thought to install in the notebook once the back cover (bezel) was off. The support was excellent and Kobus walked me through the whole process. Ended up being a breeze. Would recommend them for your laptop "internal" parts. Their product knowledge was excellent, explained even what i did not ask on the intricacies of wireless connections and WWAN??? Josh, Marketing Executive
Josh McNulty, BIZHUB, Johannesburg
Prompt delivery
Needed some entry-level virtualization machines. The guys in technical were very helpful, especially Kobus who was very clued with what we wanted the machines for and assisted in last moment modifications.Used their configure-to-order functionality and was able to spec the machines to a standard as per our needs. Worked like magic. Delivery was prompt upon payment. Didn't have to wait until "funds get cleared" time-delay. Placed order on Monday. Delivery on Tuesday afternoon. That was brilliant. Would use them again.
