    Temu starts including VAT and import duties at checkout for South African shoppers

    On the odd occasion, Takealot and Amazon can be cheaper because of the import duties we had to pay. Always do your due diligence. :)

    Temu starts including VAT and import duties at checkout for South African shoppers

    My last 2 orders had no customs/import duty. I like this because now, if I have to return an item, I get all my money back. Normally, you lose the import duties that you pay.

    South Africans complain about delayed or failed Temu orders

    Really? So they have gone back to the old delivery days when you can expect a delivery from China in 2 to 3 weeks instead of 3 to 4 months? Usually it was an issue in Joburg customs as I would often have to email the lady there. If I didn't email her after a month of my package sitting in...

    Your temu orders

    They will split your order if an item is not available immediately in their warehouse. This just happened to me. My 2nd part of my order was expensive in taxes. I paid R59 tax on a R84 order. I wish that they gave me the option as I'd never select a split order. I have found that the...

    SARS declines to answer questions about how Temu and Shein are being taxed from 1 November

    I spoke with a Temu customer agent and asked if they can remove the "original price" from their invoices for South African customers to reduce the taxes that we have to pay. She said that she would take it up with her team. I suggest that everyone who buys from Temu asks them to this. The...

    SARS declines to answer questions about how Temu and Shein are being taxed from 1 November

    Note, you don't pay tax on the value that YOU paid, but on the original value of the item charged by Temu. Response from Temu:

    Router Battery Backup

    It sounds like the same Ultralan that I have. You will need two as you will only be able to select 9V or 12V on the switch selector. Alternatively, get a Ratel.

    Router Battery Backup

    Check if your routers have different power requirements before buying a mini ups. Last year I bought an UltraLAN 45W 8.8ah (same unit as Geewiz.... it's just branding) but my router is 5V and CPE 12V so had to buy another one. Lucky it was cheap back then. I then bought a Ratel 860P (I think...

    Netflix: Manifest

    Thanx, I tried that but Netflix detects it. It only allowed me to rewatch S02E01 and I'm on episode 5. It was still working fine without any proxy or VPN last night.

    Netflix: Manifest

    Has anyone been watching Manifest on Netflix this week? I'm on season 2 and now it no longer plays. It's like it has been removed. You can't find it when searching either. I have it on my "like list" so I can see that it's there but I just can't play it.

    High-speed DSL now cheaper than Vumatel 10Mbps fibre

    If you take the time to read the uproar on social media regarding the the price increase which will be the 2nd one for this year, then HS2000 is only echoing this. Do you have a vested interest in Vuma as you do seem to be a tad upset? And then we still need to contend with the bad network...

    Telkom launches new uncapped fibre products

    The prices and speeds in the article don't add up. Telkom may have a promotional offer at times but when it ends then everyone is on the same speed and pays the same price.
