Hardware Bargains

SNo where on the website does it say excluding VAT. Surely that's illegal, false advertising or something and I can report them? Anybody know how and where?

It is against the VAT laws to show prices to consumers excluding VAT*. Prices shown to consumers are assumed to include VAT if nothing is clearly shown. R899 thus includes VAT. Phone up telkom and express interest in the current R899 bundle. Ask if it includes VAT. Pretty sure the answer will be yes.

*Some exceptions exist. None come to mind in the above scenario.

So Telkom actually phoned me today to activate my online order for SmartHome Premium. After spending 35 minutes on the phone, me trying to confirm the free Xbox, 20% for the first 3 months etc. etc., the agent then confirms the monthly subscription of R899 EXCLUDING VAT!!!! WHAT???? No where on the website does it say excluding VAT. Surely that's illegal, false advertising or something and I can report them? Anybody know how and where?

So I told them I need to reconsider and they must phone me back tomorrow, and now I'm thinking I'm not going to take it on principal. After the all the debating was over, I ended up wasting almost an hour of my day just because they didn't tell me up front it was excluding VAT. R899 versus R1024.86 is a big difference to me.

Haven't received any calls my side...

Space HD decoder - R500 on promo from Space TV.
Star sat HD installation with dish - R400 (Makro).

Install StarSat dish, throw away StarSat decoder. Replace with Space HD (Openview and FTA channels) and you have a setup for R900
