256GB

There are Kingstons, Liteons, Sandiks, Trancends going for almost the exact same prices as I listed from various retailers.

Ok yes fair enough yours is R100 cheaper listed. Factor in the shipping of R90 flat and its what...R10 cheaper? The one listed on Takealot is a 12 hour special only. This is a special for a much longer period of time. Thought i'd just share. You don't need to add your 2c.

What part of 12 hour special is flawed here? What happens in ~10 hours when the special at Take Alot goes down? And it becomes R1599 for the same drive? Does your whole "free shipping" make it better? I'm saying, yes for NOW, Take a lot is better. But tomorrow it wont be. This is just a special thats running for slightly longer than just 12 hours.

I didn't mention the Takealot deal anywhere?

And what does Cafeviva charge for their shipping? Probably bought in store, in which case you have to live close to the store to make it viable.

The offer you posted is R1199, Rebeltech is R1016.
Both exclude postage.

I'm not trying to argue with you, just stating facts.

Cafe Viva - Walk into store, here is R1199 thank you for the SSD going home now to install it. ~ 30 minutes of your time.

Rebeltech, go onto website, register account, add to cart, log onto banking page, make eft, confirm order pay R1016 + R90 deliver = R1106 wait 2-3 days for delivery. Hmmmmm. Just stating facts.

It is cheaper, but which of those 2 options would you take? If you had the choice.

Naturally in that situation I would go for the cafeviva product.
I'm not understanding your condescending replies though.
I don't think anyone is here to out you as a liar or anything, this is a forum and as such you'll get folks that will debate your posts.

Because you are "debating" a saving of R40. Apparently cafe viva isn't a "bargain" or "special" because it is R40 more than some other special at this point in time. Insert "not sure if trolling or really stupid" meme here sigh. Ok maybe not you per say is arguing. But it was being argued.

Come on dude.
It's a freakin forum.
Who cares if it's R40 or R4000, pointing out a valid saving is a good thing.
Just because your views differ a bit does not mean anyone is trolling you.

LOL! Most of us have registered on Rebeltech and buying something from Rebeltech including your EFT method doesn't take longer than 10minutes.

Get what you're saying of just driving there and getting it. But, likely most of us have patience and don't have to drive anywhere if we order online. Come to think of it, I can drive to Rebeltech as well, then shipping charges are excluded. Still have to wait a day to get it from suppliers though.

Unfortunately Cafe Viva is in CPT, and it will take me 2 days to drive there and back. Rebeltech is 15minutes away.

Thanks for sharing the deal for the peeps in CPT.
