Who has the best prices on Blu-Ray movies?, I have been checking Loot, Takealot and Raru, I generally buy a few disks at a time and found they work out about the same. Various Blu-rays are or slighlty more expensive or slightly cheaper between the 3 of them which lets me lean towards Takealot beacuse of the free shipping.
That said, neither of the 3 is really cheap, so are there any other online stores anyone knows about?, paying R200 on average for a 10year old movie is insane if you ask me.

Your process sounds pretty good, I also check those three retailers for the best price.

Sometimes it may be cheaper via Amazon.co.uk, especially for pricier boxsets (just factor in customs charges if you don't use the Amazon Global shipping option).

Thank you, will check out Amazon, the reason I don't use them is exactly because of the customs which im scared off, will read up on the "Amazon global shipping option"

Yep, Amazon will sort out the whole customs process for you. You pay a customs deposit amount which is what they estimate it will be and they'll refund you if it turns out to be less than that.

Just make sure that you link your ID number to the shipping address you use and all should be good.

The really cheap "standard" shipping option will rely on you to handle the customs which is not terribly complicated but does cause more delay generally.

EDIT: The standard shipping option may look a lot cheaper but I've found it probably won't save much in the end as DHL will charge you another disbursement fee on top of the customs duty fee when it gets to SA. For example I ordered the SG-1 boxset last year and used the standard shipping option - the Amazon shipping cost was 4 pounds (around R65 at the time), the duty and VAT was R130 and their disbursement fee was R150 - so it was only marginally less than than the ~R415 it would have cost for Amazon to do it all.

How? Third party sets the price :confused:
Click to expand...

Takealot inflates third party prices by 50% with the products I've looked at. For example I wanted to buy a table:

From the third party it's R1,999 (shipping was about R220): http://basicsandbeyond.co.za/product/dt01-table/

From Takealot R2,999 (free shipping): https://www.takealot.com/white-table-dt01/PLID41464732

It's the same for the other products from Basics & Beyond on Takealot. So ... always go the the third party website and see what they actually charge.

The charges they set are just unbelievable. Then if there are any returns according to Takealot's policy (not the 3rd party seller) it's for the sellers account.

Seriously good deal for the blower, that's a low tech tool, probably not a whole lot worse than the equivalent Makita thats 5 times the price.

Thanks - Got one after seeing your post.
Tested it and works pretty well as a substitute for sweeping out the dust in the garage. Especially under racks and between all the stored crap.

Much quieter, smaller and easier to handle than the bulky Ryobi garden blower/vac I used to have for this purpose.

Is it a leaf blower? Does it have suction function and mulching too? And a collecting bag? Or just a blower?

It's just a small blower, only blows, very handy for cleaning dust and loose junk off things and blowing dust off shelves and floors.
