Great bang for buck as this was a refurb unit that ended up R5800 ish delivery/customs included

Excluding the ram

Unforthnately that was a bit of an ouch , still got a bargain though 32gb for R1799 (a while ago bought it the moment i spotted it)

We need a banana for scale to know whether that's a 1L or 375ml Coke bottle

How much storage can they take?
 
Takealot has weird pricing on the Echo Dot 5th Gen, at ~R450. Obviously from third party sellers, with confidence boosting names like "Whales go out to sea" and "Lucky koi", and they only ship in 14 - 16 work days. I guess this is dropshipping? Crazy prices, though.
 
Takealot has become an absolute sihtshow since they started allowing dropshippers. Anything with the 14-16 working day lead time will be fake, they'll send some random item or the order will be cancelled towards the end of the lead time.

It's basically worse than BobShop now because you can't easily filter those out.

Bobshop has actually become more reliable and probably better than Takealot on a lot of things.

I trust no 3rd party sellers ...

Bought a product this week it came and it was all scratched up and in a seriously bad state. Downloaded the invoice and it's a company in China selling on Takealot.

Box came all bashed up and was a shocking experience... Returned the first one and got another and same ****

It's a parallel import and a bit of a wait, but an amazing price.

Product is on Temu as well. It was just cheaper at Takealot so bought it tested it and returned it.. Paid with Payflex so only did a small payment and got money back quickly.
