This Steam Deck device showing under today's deals, more expensive than a parallel import sold by TA. Different model number though.

An Xbox PS5 Steamdeck 256GB.

Sounds like that is for Amazon.com to the US

Curious if they will roll out to their there market places too then

Definitely the US. In SA it's locals running Amazon and they don't really give too much of a care.

Yeah, their descriptions are sometimes hilarious. They had a Playstation 5 apparently running Windows XP.

For the first time saw a Amazon.co.za billboard today.

Might be working towards a more active advertising approach. I saw that they now list the prices on their deals, so you don't have to navigate to the product page to see how much it is.

Saw one too when I was up in Joburg this weekend.

Yup also noticed two on a drive to Jhb from Pretoria yesterday.

They're still going with the "finally here" type message.

Has their catalog improved more since launch? And close to what is here in the UK?

Doubtful, but then I've also stopped looking really.

Nope. You still have to go to Takealot if you want to buy a Kindle.

Ordered on Sunday and received it by Wednesday evening. Not bad. They also have Pargo pick up which I prefer. Although expensive items are excluded from that. All in all not a bad experience.

iPhone Pre-order banner up was up for last week Friday.

Also, website is looking more polished. Deals being updated regularly.

Quite happy that you can buy on .com or .co.za without it trying to redirect you. Was logged into .com and .co.za at the same time making purchases without any issues. All local deliveries have arrived next day as advertised. Got a good deal on a small Weber - sometimes some decent prices on amazon.co.za

I see Amazon.co.za has raised the same-day delivery order cutoff to 14:00 now, with a R10.00 fee. Deliveries are made between 17:00 and 20:00.

Some might prefer that.

 

[DStvNothingOn]

Definitely for SA market quite a change, Takealot 10:00 and not R10 Bucks.

Why should they copy takealot?

 

[DStvNothingOn]

Nope, while they trying to buy love, I'm happily using there lower prices and free delivery.
Bought a lot more from them then I have ever from Takealot

Takealot being there direct computation comparing to them.
