Most people don't. Until you have to get a refund for something that was not in stock. Then they first put your money in a 30 day call account before returning it to you lol.

Sounds like Takealot... oh wait the founder of Raru sold Takealot for billions.

Actually never had problems with them. Just looked at my order history and all was good.

Mine too. Seems like those cases where a few people had a bad experience and now people think it's everyone. I had the same thing with Loot and other stores during the mining craze with stock shortages. In the end I always got my money in a few days by following the correct channels.

Go back in this thread and you will see it is more than just a "few" people.
Besides if I buy something I know I might be returning I would rather buy from takealot. They have a 30 day no questions asked refund policy and even collects it from me for free.

I hear you but I thought it was being powered by the battery all the time with the mains trickle charging it. I may be incorrect.

I would assume that shutting down my PC and letting it restart on UPS power would draw more power than letting it continue on UPS for 5 seconds?

Depends on the UPS type, the most common type are offline UPS, meaning they switch to batteries when mains goes off batteries sit idle until then. All these 2kva ups are offline, you really have to go high end for online ups.

As for the battery percentage, a higher load means more amp draw means lower sudden voltage reading which is how the UPS monitors battery percentage. So in that instant it is actually a very inaccurate reading.
Also because of this staggering your load will just bring the voltage(and thus the battery percentage) down again. maybe it'll rise by a few percent but in the end it really doesn't matter as the same load is being drawn from the battery.
 
TicHome Mini Wireless Smart Speaker / Google Assistant - R699 from takealot
Just bought one, only 19 left between the 3 colours. Normal price is around 2k

These are similar to the google minis I mentioned earlier in this thread but they are waterproof and runs on batteries so go can take google into the shower with you even if its just to play some music :p

Edit: Next day...
Her: So honey who were you speaking to in the shower?
Me: My assistant, I take her with me everywhere.
Her: What? Over my dead body! How could you???
Me: Calm down honey, its my Google assistant! :D:p

Specs says 6 hours

If you have a regular google mini you can run it from a powerbank or similar power source as long as it pushes 5V 2A
I use one of my fast charging romoss powerbanks to power a regular mini during loadshedding to listen to music etc.
 
Not much of a bargain but anyway. Redmi 7 online only R1999
