Amazon.co.za is live

So daily deals, they added a tripod and a Wall tile set, it seems they add one item per day per category, so far they've all been kind of terrible XD

Give them a break, it's only their first week up and running! I'm sure you will (eventually) find a good deal you'll enjoy.

Dont get me wrong, I already picked up some headphones, but judging at the sales percentage below each product their selection for the deals are pretty terrible lol
 
Uh... so how do you fix this where Amazon has your local credit card information... but doesn't take you to your bank's authentication page... so the payment keeps getting declined?
It's a Discovery Platinum Card.

Works fine on Standard bank?

Maybe try creating a virtual card on Discovery and see if that works?

If you log into your Discovery Bank app you should be directed to a screen requesting approval of the transaction

I'm sorted, I just deleted all of the credit cards on Amazon and reloaded them. Thanks.
(it's weird though .. I feel like I have done this before I dunno how it keeps pulling old data through there)
 
Was surprised to already see a number of Apple products on sale and mostly cheaper than Core although that’s not saying much!

Placed a test order, let's see how it goes. Deal items I bought seem to be substantially discounted, unlike Takealot
Delivery shows tomorrow so that's great.
Now, if they can add the option of paying in eBucks...

Arrived at around 1pm yesterday so really happy with delivery.
If this will be their standard then already a reason to consider over Takealot, their lead time has been very erratic of late.

How long do you think Takealot will last?

Don't see them going anywhere, they're well established. If Amazon play their cards right though, TA won't have it all their own way anymore. This should probably be a good thing.
Smaller online stores may eventually not last yes, I guess the system of them just then selling on Amazon as in other regions may then become the norm.

Amazon may make Naspers an offer they can’t refuse.

Also possible, do you think they'll then shut TA down or compete with themselves?

Takealot have lots of warehouses and distribution channels set up. So they can take that over with their own systems and branding.

I don’t think the Takealot brand is worth more than the Amazon brand. So no need to keep it.
