    Where can I buy Energy Drinks in Bulk? (Monster particularly)

    Hi Guys, I don't know the first thing about import/export. Or how retailers get their hands on their food & drink products. I'm just curious to know if and how I would go about buying Monster cans in bulk. I drink 1 or 2 every day, so I'd rather just buy tons instead of going to always buy...

    Order cheaper GPU/CPU from USA?

    So I'm looking to upgrade my current system to an i7 6700k, GTX 1070 build. As you all know it is very expensive to do this in SA.. The best price I could find was from Wootware and it was for around R14600.00 for the card and the processor, which is a lot of money. To compare I looked up the...

    Buying an iPhone overseas

    I'm currently in Amsterdam, and I'm looking to buy an iPhone 6 since my s4 is a bit worn out. I can save around R2000 if I buy it here instead of SA.

    Where is the cheapest place to buy a PS4

    Iv been looking around for a while now, and have seriously considered purchasing from America. Reason being: 1. The Console is no longer region locked (NTSC & PAL) 2. Even with customs, it will still most probably turn out to be cheaper. You can get a console there for as little as $400...

    Rare cars on SA road

    It would be nice to see some pics of cars you don't see often on SA roads. Let me start. Been eyeing this one for a while now, looks pretty sweet even if it is a VW. My guess would be that it's a British import. 3-Door Golf 4

    I actually saw a Subaru that looks good!

    So after years of boring me with their bland designs and Kombi-like engine noise, I finally saw a Scooby that looks and sounds good. Must have been an import from Japan because I could hardly believe it when I saw it had a Subaru badge on it :

    Raspberry Pi Taxes?

    Did anyone else pay taxes on importing their Raspberry Pi? I just got a collection slip from the post office and there is a R416.46 fee attached to it! Not a chance in hell I'm paying more for taxes than for the Pi.
