Amazon.co.za is live

What a coincidence, indeed. Definitely not a price collusion. It is all good guys - let us shop at Amazon and show it to TAL.

But again, prices are decided by resellers and not amazon/TAL, right ?

Then go with Amazon. Aftersales is next level. At the moment anyways. And you can speak to a human.

Not that I have had bad experience with Takealots email system. Difference is just 20 seconds and 24 hours.

It arrived. Delivered by dpd. 2 more weren't in stock when I bought them. Will see when they get delivered.

I thought their local advantage would be their own products like Amazon Basics, Kindle, Fire TV, etc. but they decided to launch without any of that?

Maybe they want to ramp up slowly but it's a bit of a damp squib at the moment.

Probably doing it in a phased approach. No point in having a grand launch that falls over. I expect to see their catalogue growing monthly.

Yep, it's definitely the more cautious approach. I bet Takealot management are having a chuckle at this offering right now though

The big question is, will they still be laughing this time next year?

dammit the daily deals are super kark

i just think delivery times and customer service will be the difference here

not so much the prices

people can wait for weeks for temu and get good customer service

with takealot the experience is different

I think their thumbnail picker algorithm is broken.



I've noticed quite a few thumbnails which just don't match their category at all.

Saw that the package arrived in my city a few hours ago, they're speedy with this next day delivery thing.

DPD laser brough it on time and in 1 piece.
Good first impressions.

I see one claims normal price of R379 and one R339. TAL still using their old tricks.

Some decent deals on books, bought this morning eta on delivery us Friday hopefully all goes well.

Any idea if this is just a soft launch with a major launch including prime coming player this year? Seen very little marketing compared to the other players

They ramp up as time goes. Its been their approach in most markets.

Have found one random wrinkle in their system which just requires a bit more vigilance.

Not every product is eligible for Free Delivery, so you would get charged a delivery fee if you have one of those products in your cart, regardless of the overall value of the basket.

Hence Basics numbnuts. They’re good products for frugal folks.
