Hardware pricing comparison

Which local online hardware stores are cheapest and best stocked?

 

[boramk]

take2 FTW!

 

[DVD007]

Haven't had any problems with Take 2. Bought an Asus Commando Motherboard from them which conked out, got a replacement within a week. Very good service and very cheap delivery charges.

It varies with me ... sometimes I'm cheaper

good pricing - tell them I sent you - lol

 

[psichron]

shipping?

What about shipping costs? What do the various stores charge for shipping and insurance? It could make a big difference.

 

[ben dover]

Are those prices including or excluding VAT?

Always thought kalahari were a bunch of crooks!

 

[Shred]

With regards to the 500GB hard drive, one needs to take into account whether it has 16mb or 32mb cache

 

[Flipside]

Nice comparison, glad to see I've been shopping at the right place.

Kalahari sometimes have nice specials, also free shipping if its over R350 which is a bonus.

The good service is true but I think you should let the consumers rate you lol.
Sybaritic are selling their 8GB Kingston for R222.00(2 bucks less) and ReBeL Tech for R217.92 (6.08 bucks less).

wantitall is way 2 expensive

Lol ... ok ... well I was just comparing to what was in the comparison

And I like to believe my service is good ...

 

[quovadis]

wantitall is way 2 expensive

Wantitall = importer - Use them when you can't find something in SA, it's only available overseas OR if the local distributors of the product are ripping us off and it's cheaper to buy overseas

+1 Can't see how you do an online comparison without including them. Also I find prices differs from time to time. Today Take2 might be cheaper, but tomorrow click2loseyourmoniez suddenly works out cheaper for the stuff you are looking for. Delivery costs depending where you are also makes a world of a difference in the pricing. Prophecy with R1000 free shipping, Kalahari with R375 free shipping, Take2 with just-about-free shipping etc etc.

What about shipping costs? What do the various stores charge for shipping and insurance? It could make a big difference.

Difficult to compare as you might be close to one shop so shipping is free for you while another person lives in some dump in the middle of nowhere and will need to pay R200.

Always thought kalahari were a bunch of crooks!

Kalahari is more geared towards other stuff imo, like books/games/dvds etc.

ReBel Tech ...

+1 Always had good service from them!

Digital Addiction...

Another +1 The always-available Itai - there to serve. Never had a problem with my order.

Besides the pricing, another important rating for these sites is ease of use. Some of these sites are really hard to navigate.
