Wondering if this is an "outage" or a financial issue. Standard Bank closed his Iqballs accounts again?

Embarrassed. I had no idea Loot was still selling.

I used to like loot... And then I realised it was owned by Iqbal Surve of state capture fame. Never shopped there again. (P. S. Not sure why he isn't in jail).

Maybe Iqbal is visiting family in Dubai. Give the man a break.

Loot has had a Raru feel for a while, it won't be long for this world.

It has indeed, last used it about 4 years ago to get some DVDs that weren't available. Used to use Raru for that, but my last order they almost took the money and ran until I kept insisting on a refund, which turned out I got just before their fook up.

Did not even know they were still around. Thought they've closed down.

They had Pargo shipping before Amazon came here. Now Amazon has that I'll just use them.

Yes, came here to say this. Sad really but, when a good business get ruined by BEE. Sadly, that is the ultimate outcome....

This is a regular occurrence on Loot. Or during the night when it takes ages for something to load or to login. They don't seem to scale properly and under allocate resources.

And Take Two used to have direct imports until they became Takealot
