Membership Plans

This page explains the membership plans, what they cost, how to pay and what happens when your membership runs out. It is for new members and for members who want to upgrade or renew.

#Which plans are there?

There are three paid plans for businesses and one free plan for drivers.

• Basic Member, Pro Member and Gold Member give you access to the member area. You get the Business Directory, the Classifieds (Marketplace) manager, the Cargo manager, the Fleet and Driver manager, the Interactive Route Planner, Freight Quotation Requests and the notification system.
• Driver is free. It gives a driver a professional driver profile, assigned vehicles, job logs and access to movement orders.

All paid plans see the same member menu. The main difference the site enforces is how many listings you can have at one time.

#What do the plans cost?

Prices are in ZAR, as shown on the Register page.

#How many listings does each plan allow?

If you reach your limit, the site shows Warning: User Limit Reached. Delete old entries to make space, or click Upgrade Membership to move to a bigger plan.

#Is VAT added?

The basket adds VAT @ 15% for Namibian customers only. It is removed automatically at checkout for customers in the other SADC countries. If you are outside Namibia and South Africa, the basket also shows an estimated total in USD.

#How do I pay?

After you click Submit Order in your basket, you see Select preferred payment method. Pick the option that suits you.

#Paying by card

1. Choose the card option.
2. Enter your card details on the secure payment page.
3. When the payment goes through, your membership is activated. You receive a Payment Received e-mail with your invoice and the date your membership is valid until.

If the payment does not go through, you see Payment not completed. You can try again from your basket, or contact us.

#Paying by EFT

1. Choose the EFT option.
2. You receive an Order Confirmation e-mail with a sales order (pro-forma invoice). Our bank details are on it.
3. Pay the amount shown. Use your order reference number as the payment reference.
4. E-mail your proof of payment to billing@laaimylorrie.com.
5. We confirm your payment and activate your membership, normally within 24 to 48 hours.

#Where can I see my orders and invoices?

1. Log in to the member area.
2. Open Billing then Sales Orders.
3. The list shows each order with # Order Ref, Order Date, Status, Payment Method and Order Total.
4. Click an order to see the items, VAT and total. From here you can also Cancel Order or Resend Payment Instructions while the order is awaiting payment.

#How long does my membership last?

Your membership runs for the period you paid for, counted from the day your payment is confirmed. You can see your Renewal Date under My Profile.

#How do I get a renewal reminder?

1. Open Settings.
2. Under Membership Renewal, set your Renewal Reminder: how long before expiry you want to be reminded, in days, weeks or months.
3. Choose Site Notifications and/or Email Notifications.
4. Click Save.

#What happens when my membership expires?

When your renewal date arrives, the member tools are locked. The next time you log in, you are taken to the Billing page, which shows two buttons:

• Renew my Membership takes you to the plans, so you can order and pay again. Your tools open again once the payment is confirmed.
• Cancel & Close my Account closes your account.

#Free trial when listing a company or truck

If you sign up through List my company or List my Truck on the public site, you get a Basic Member account with a 14-day trial period. When the trial ends, renew from the Billing page to keep using the member tools. See Business directory and Adding trucks.

#Banner ads

Banner ads are sold separately from membership. You can buy them from Advertising with us on the website.

If you need us to design your banner, there is a once-off design fee: ZAR 350 (300 x 300), ZAR 380 (600 x 300) or ZAR 450 (900 x 300).

After you pay, open Banner Ads in the member area to add your images, a description, a link to your website and the categories where the advert should show. Click Submit. Your advert goes to our staff for approval, and you are notified once it has been reviewed.
