I used to work for a clothing manufacturer that sold to all outlets, big and small. I know what those asses pay for stuff and then add on 500% plus profit. It's ridiculous. Who can afford that anymore? If retailers weren't so greedy, we would support them more.
I've seen this too. I compare prices across platforms before I order. And low and behold, takealot is filled with temus and shein imports at more than 100% profit. Protect local commerce my ass. Make the rich richer.
