RARU Online

Why?

I order where it's the cheapest. Can't say I had issues with takealot thus far. Used raru once, no bad experience either.

Can't stand loots daily mails, no mobile optimization.

Takealot is the biggest online store in ZA. So it's incentive not to use them unless you want a monopoly.

Loot is usually cheapest for me and I have the convenience of not having to deal with couriers. Takealot I now have to pay extra for same day delivery to have any convenience. I don't find Loot's emails so bad. One email with everything is better than Takealot's multiple small emails every day having no specials and only telling you to visit their site.

I only get one email a day from takealot containing their daily deals, not sure what emails you're getting.

Been getting some lately only showing me to their deals and not the actual deals themselves. Sure I can elect not to receive them but then might miss out. Prefer Loot's email with all the actual specials in a single email that I can quickly peruse.
 
Emails from Takealot:
Media Monday! (no actual prices or specials)

You could always jump into your time machine and go fetch it in next week, come back to today.



Just kidding BTW, my experience with raru has been rather good.

So is this the first time you're buying something online? :)

Yes, if it is going to be shipped on Friday, you will probably get it on the Monday thereafter.

A lot of my Raru orders were shipped earlier than the estimated shipping date though, so maybe you're lucky.

They normally give you a chart on when to expect it ordered, delivered at warehouse and then delivered to your door before you process the order.

Not all items are in stock at their own warehouse.

Pay attention next time.
 
If you have a specific query you can also always email [email protected] so that our Customer Services can investigate the order for you and get back to you with a detailed response.

Yeah, why is my order taking so long dammit! Said 10 to 15 days - I chose the 10 day option :)

Actually, just realized I ordered 11 October with it saying 10 to 15 days - and estimated shipping is 1 November? Is that working or calendar days?

Does that mean my Xbox one controller arrives at my doorstep this friday?

Only until the item are physically scanned into the warehouse and allocated to an order will you get a more accurate ETA. As mentioned above it is best to email is with your order no, so that we can properly check up on your order.
