The best online price I could find is at geewiz. They have R49 delivery
Google Home - R2185
Google Home Mini - R1008

Gadgetshop has the mini for R999 - free delivery

OneDayOnly has some cheap Telefunken TVs if that's of any interest ...

I've been quite impressed by my new system's performance so far (2700X, Asus Prime x470-Pro) - extremely snappy.
Did a quick benchmark on that Mushkin drive for you:
Quite impressive for such a cheap drive!

Did AGS from Google in US. Pre special it came to R650. Still don't know about customs coz AGS suck.
It's now 60 usd to for two.
Ps: I'd be willing to go halfsies on another two pack if anyone is interested.
Thanks, this is great.
Bought the mini for about R750 on eBay and it works very well in a bedroom.
Minor complaint is that you sometimes have to shout for it to hear you in a room where the TV is loud / music playing / 3+ meters away etc.
In an open plan room it becomes worse, have to shout even when there isn't much noise and 2+ meters away.
Thanks mate, just pulled the trigger for 2 of these. Total came to 63 usd with taxes incl from Google Store.
Is that including shipping?

Shipping is free to US address. Then R350 with AGS. I assume vat and handling after. But again ags has been terrible so can't say for sure.

$172 or about R2100 for Philips hue 4 pack colour light starter pack plus 2 Google home minis
Even with shipping and customs it looks like a good deal

Never had success buying from bestbuy. If anyone does, please report back.
No idea about jvc, but these have 5 year warranty. Is this just your one or all of them? Have you tried to take it back?
Is volume also slow?
No, we actually have a 32 inch and a 28 inch and they are just slow for those two. Sound etc is responsive enough just the changing of channels.
Picture quality is good for what you're paying but it's a pain to use.
Going nadimm’s route and using AGS. Shipping would be around R300.

That's really not bad! Here is a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo for comparison running on a Ryzen 3 2200G, X370-PRO
