Amazon.co.za is live

Welcome to the wonderful world of convenience, now with thousands of bogus reviews!

Just a word of warning. Ordering from Amazon is super easy and convenient, but once they’ve got the local market locked down (which won’t take long), remember to do a web search before you pull the trigger on anything. Amazon can actually be more expensive (even with “free” delivery) compared to other sites.

And use something like Buck Cheap or Serval

I bought that clipper a couple of years ago and I've got no complaints. Still going strong. Blades sharp as ever. Easy to clean, just some brushing and the occassional rinse.
If I haven't shaved my head for a while the turbo makes quick work. Never had any snags or pulls and it needs no oil.
I use the guides when I need to trim the beard and they work great.

Is Amazon bypassing 3D Secure? That's going to piss off PASA lol, all south african merchants are mandated to use it for online card payments last I heard.

Ok cool, just going off previous posts in this thread saying they didn't get 2FA, maybe they changed things already.

Interesting. I was under the impression that was handled on the card provider end. Didn't think it could be bypassed.

11 best hair clippers, tested by a men’s grooming expert

If you've had enough of your unruly locks, give one of these corded and cordless hair clippers a try
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk
For the price, this cool-looking clipper is one of the best on the market, especially as it offers a raft of clever features. The addition of a beard comb turns it into a 2-in-1 product – handy if you’re a facial hair enthusiast – and it’s lightweight, solid and gets the job done in no time, while the whole look and feel of suggests it’s ideal for young, style-conscious types.

The fact that it’s 100 per cent washable and has self-sharpening blades that don’t need oiling certainly make it one of the most convenient clippers on the market – perfect for busy (or lazy!) guys who want great results with as little fuss as possible.

Not sure if local transactions are able to be electronically enforced on the card provider's end, but international merchants bypass it often. I've ordered off Temu and Amazon international without ever seeing a 3D secure page, and have seen many members on this site claim the same.

Q: What about overseas merchants?

A: Only South African merchants are mandated to implement 3D Secure. Whilst some
overseas merchants have implemented 3D Secure already, cardholders should be aware
that the PASA mandate for 3D Secure only applies to local merchants and that not all
overseas merchants participate in 3D Secure

So yeah, if your card details are leaked, be aware that any international merchant can debit your card without 3D secure even coming into play.

They are only selling k@k it would appear. Will use Takealot as my main source, Temu as second and Amazon if I can't find anything.

Yes and you should not be held liable then.
