    Got this https://share.temu.com/Qq52EvkJv5B uti160s for approx the same price in December. Well i did earn R2400 creditback at that time so effectively paid R300 plus customs. Good enough to detect a mouse hiding in the kitchen!

    Anyone created and used a second account to order? I am tired of seeing the lower prices that do not apply to my account. Email/Phone number both sorted, it is the ID number that they request that is a problem. Maybe payment too since I do not wish to use debit card. Obviously they could use...

    Amazon Prime launched for R59 per month in SA

    Since the thanksalot sale did not give me any decent coupons this year that would have offsetted the takealotmore subscription I had already been planning to dump them, it was a drain anyway since I barely order from them. I am already have Primevideo so this is a no brainer.

    I do that, and it works sometimes. With variation listings it gets infuriating. For example I bought the Pi Pico 2 at a good price last year. It shows 'an item you purchased previously' with a nice discount - but it lists the first pi pico RP2040 along with the Pico 2. Select the newer RP2350...

    2020 Takealot Vouchers Thread 2.0 (Everyone Welcome)

    Previously (2024 for sure and other years) there were ABSA linked vouchers (R500 off R1500 spend) and I have been monitoring emails. I say a notification on the phone mentioning ABSA, there were multiple other takealot notifications. Upon clicking the combined notifications I could not find the...

    As someone sitting 6 months with R2400 credit (down to R1800) I understand. Spending x and having y in credit is pointless. Unless you will be pushing y back to get z in credit. Then it does not matter on accumulating stuff one does not need. Oh reminds me I need to buy more shelving and...

    We visited Communica's Samrand branch

    Pity the webstore browse and search function is so poor.

    After a long hiatus they offered my credit back this morning. Have to spend about R1500 to get around R700 back means paying R800 in. Sadly many of the items in the shopping bag are at an inflated price compared to my regular cart. There are some items that I can still add that may make it worth...

    Ecasa is discouraging homes and businesses from using single-phase electrical testers to sign off on rooftop solar power system installations

    Money grab continues... there should be more outrage over old scrappy vehicles on the road, worn tyres, broken lights. Sure a bad solar install will burn your house down and insurance will not cover it. We already lose over 10000 people on the roads every year, but for diminishing returns we...

    For the clothing items it looks like barely a change on the prices. For the electronics items (well some anyway) it is a massive difference. For example the Teclast ArtPad Pro for which I paid around R3600, it is now around R4600. Some 27% higher. I paid around R400 in customs/vat for each of...

    So where are these orders in the pipeline, delivered/pending - you still had to pay customs?

    I have not received any offers recently so have not bought for a while. Noticed today "VAT & duties included, if applicable." I am noticing the pricing on some electronics items reflect this, but the clothing I have been monitoring roughly remains in the same ballpark? Clothing more often than...
