Amazon.co.za is live

What happens if you accidentally entered the wrong ID on amazon when placing an order, for arguments sake, lets say someone ordered a TV.

Then you are part of a VAT syndicate.

I'm pretty sure they have to validate the ID for the tv license before the order goes through. TA does this.

Used to work.... not anymore unless someone cracked the system again.

Do some research, it’s still possible.

I wonder if TAL is shiiting their pants with amazon launching and temu going crazy.

Don't think so, TAL has plans up their sleeves, they're not stupid

 

[RVR]

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...

Nice if you get your stuff tomorrow, confirms that next day delivery is working and that would be awesome. I'm impatient person too

Oh right, of course.

I thought they stopped using drm, did they backtrack or am I misremembering?

The "limited time deal" offers are actually good discounts compared to TA's marking up of a product then bringing it back down to the original price and calling it a deal.

Haven't seen the superlight 2 this low, around R600 cheaper than takealot and ~R900 cheaper than evetech, all with next day delivery.

Any idea If the xiaomi stick is worth getting compared to a whole new smart tv? Parents have a regular 32 inch.

Always get a tv stick/box never rely on the TV "smart" system

Only if it offers some kind of extra functionality.... it's not even full android same as on most modern TV's. Absolute PITA to do anything PC-like on these things.

 

[RVR]

Yeah not everyone also shares their ID. I would have if I actually had a tv license

If there are any Amazon staff watching this thread, you know what would make a nice splash.
If you put the Hisense 55" U7K 144Hz on special for R8K, that would blow Takealot out the water right?

Would love to know where sellers are buying their stock from lol.

I registered as a store on Amazon.co.za (electronics, gadgets, etc) and even if literally stole the goods from distributors by the time their service fees and deliveries were added and a measly mark-up of my own it overshoots other local sites by a quarter mile...

My only idea is perhaps people are buying in massive massive stock orders and getting deep discounts for the bulk.

 

[Stinkbeaver]

Amazon, Takealot and Temu, now we have choice.

Hahaha I think Temu is in a league of its own. Both Takealot and Amazon have an average delivery fee of R70 so far while Temu is still very cheap and free Ds.

Yes I think Jeff is reading here and he will drop that price because you asking.

Yeah , it makes sense that people don't share ID's. Ironically our government has made all our personal information publically available anyways....

That’s not far fetched actually.
