Are there any other online shopping sites here like Takealot that accept cash on delivery as payment method?

Wow! When last did I hear those words? Cash?? On delivery? Why would you need that kind of shopping?

Online shopping was made for digital transactions and you are basically asking the shop to put their trust in you for the possibility that you will pay them.

Why not? Takealot does so. Cash is a valid form of payment. Up to the merchant of course whether to accept the risk.

Uhm calm down.
Takealot does this, also I sort of like it now and then.

Not that I see any particular need for it, but at least it's an incentive for the merchant to get the goods to you promptly.

How many of us have ordered and paid for goods, only to then find that they aren't available in the specified period, and having to wait ages for them, or having the order then cancelled and waiting ages to get a refund?

Of course:) but see my point above.
Well, your point is not the same point as what the OP queried the forum for assistance. Cash has a physical aspect whereas digital systems like snapscan does not...

Good point, but snapscan is still not cash. I would still rather pay upfront though a digital transaction and enable the online business to keep their business afloat through my purchase via a trusty online purchase. Don't think that I would ever use snapscan when there are much easier and less intrusive ways to pay for a service.

I would include Snapscan or similar as cash. I was making the point that you pay for the goods when you get them.
If someone has snapscan they've probably also got a card which they could've just used to pay online. Unless they're super paranoid about using their card online or something.

Y'all do realise that the above question wasn't answered.....

I don't know of any couriers permitted to accept cash on completion of a delivery. Takealot does their logistics internally so is the exception, not the rule. You would need to find another online store that has their own private courier network.
