As above where is a good place to buy inverters and electronics online,

Geewiz seems tapped out and Takealot has virtually no choice.

Amazon.com (ensure correct voltage), Amazon.co.uk or eBay (ensure correct voltage) imo.

You can get really good 2nd hand equipment from eBay especially.

How did you get free shipping? All the stuff I see has an additional shipping charge for SA listed.

Have to time the right special, though mostly I have seen only the slower (month) shipping free and a reduced charge on the fast shipping.

You will most likely have to pay VAT yeah. I did on the last item I bought at least, though that came via slow mail, will see on the latest DHL item I ordered, I'm expecting to pay VAT but if not then bonus :p

If it's DHL or express shipping it bypasses them and they cover duty charges

Nope. They (DHL/FedEx/etc. charge you VAT + Custom Duties that you must pay to them, before they'll deliver your package....
