Hardware Bargains - Open Thine Wallet

[Vis1/0N]

Sadly the coupon I had yesterday (that expires tomorrow) is no longer applicable -

Unfortunately, this code no longer works. Please continue with your order.

Within a span of 10 minutes it disappeared off the page whilst deciding on the item. They now offer a $5 coupon of a selected range which is of much less use.

Bummer, it was only about R45 but it would have been useful for low value items that I do not buy because it may not come at all or if it does may have to pay the R24/R51 more at the post office.

~R250 landed. Cheapest U3 I could find locally comes in at ~R297 at Raru without delivery.
Edit: This one @R205 claims to be U3 as well, but not as fast as the Amazon one.

What delivery method does Amazon use ? How many days it takes for the buyer to receive the goods.

They only use courier. On checkout they will provide you with options and show you an estimation that is quite accurate:

$6.17 AmazonGlobal Standard Shipping — get it Tuesday, Dec. 4 - Monday, Dec. 10
$17.35 AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping — get it Wednesday, Nov. 21 - Monday, Nov. 26

Edit: R87 to courier an item (albeit quite small) from the USA to here while domestically the route between CPT<->JHB is at least ~R100.

Their shipping is quite reliable. As you expect from one of the largest companies in the world.

Last bought from Amazon in 2016 but all my AGS was via the post office. The other quicker options was expedited and priority.

Took 6 weeks as well via AGS.

Items that sell via the Amazon global shipping program is always courier afaik. 3rd party sellers may use the PO.

I'm looking for one of those Huawei batteries that came with some of their routers a while ago. Anyone know where I can pick one up?

Not sure if you can get them individually. I bought mine from someone who was selling it. Most of the guys that got a b315 router with their deals got it so try and even post in the wanted section. Someone will be willing to let theirs go.

Jirre man, you'll have to search Ebay for that and use the P.O.

Found one for R150 in Victoria Street Durban in a impressive Pakistani-run cellphone repair shop. Original replacement as well working 100 %.

Woah should mention that it was for my mobile router E5773 that I purchased. The previous battery was bulging at 130% size pushing out the battery lid. I have not opened up my Telkom B315 from a year back. Wondering now if I should have one in that.

The black battery that came with my Telkom B315 outputs a slightly lower voltage of 7.4V 2A while the GeeWiz UPS supplies 12V. If you have a Powerbank you might be able to purchase a cheap step-up (5V to 12V, 2A) converter board from eBay, DX, GearBest etc. Here are some suggestions - just search the sites carefully to find something suitable (12V 2A etc.).

Have one and it's a frustrating pos. Good price though but I can't recommend it. Regret not getting a mi box instead.
