I also want to buy stuff of amazon uk...the good thing is that on some items they take out vat before checkout so you end up paying much less than the listed price...yeah i've seen the currency converter charges like r140 for the conversion to rands,so im just curious as to what our local banks do.They still say that our bank may charge us a fee for using the converter so its confusing

The currency converter works out to be more expensive. Always pay in the local (of the vendor) currency. It’s similar to withdrawing cash in a foreign ATM.

Im looking at the Garmin 935. It will cost me R9999 at Sportsmans. Now I can get 25% back via Vitality which leaves me at R7500.

I can get it for R5800 from Amazon. My only issue is whether Garmin SA will support the device if something goes wrong...

Think there might be an international warranty but you will have to check with Garmin. They fixed mine that I bought in the UK but it was out of warranty

People are raving over the Prime Deals, but they should check their basket with CamelCamelCamel ;)

By the way it looks like Amazon are getting sticky about mail forwarders. Most of the Amazon-branded stuff i'm trying to check-out to the shipping company i've used for years is now saying "These items cannot be shipped to this address" and when I lookup why its: "You are shipping to a U.S. freight forwarder but your order contains items that are restricted from exportation."

guess i'll need to change to another address for now.
