Yes just one thing because it was half the price at Amazon compared to takealot. Ironically it was the same half price at GAME.

But otherwise they dont have much I would want to buy. I would rate them on the same level as GAME and I hardly ever shop there. or LOOT.

LOOT has the worst service though. I've had products cancelled because it was on sale at them, and they refused to honour the sale, so kept cancelling what I bought. So I abandoned LOOT completely.

Say LOOT one more time please.
 
I'll go with whoever is cheapest between them and Takealot, and they've only won maybe 30% of the time.
 
I ordered minutes ago; just realized that the books I bought are the same price on Takealot. It does seem like since Amazon's arrival, Takealot has been pricing their books the same as Amazon in an effort to compete.

So far nope, because none of their prices have been better than I get the same product somewhere for from a different online store.
 
Nope, not yet.

Generally haven't found anything that I cannot get cheaper somewhere else. I have ordered from Amazon US in the meantime, where I can actually find good deals.
