Scam Online Cellphone Shop

Deal too good to be true, that's a red flag. The physical address doesn't seem to be genuine either..
I wouldn't necessarily write it off as a scam, since the rest of their pricing seems plausible.

This could be a bug or pricing error. Either way, there's pretty much zero chance they will honour it.

They also already have a review by a customer complaining about late delivery, so as a new business they're not off to the best start.

The other review complain it was 36 hours and not 24 hours. Still say dodgy.

Hmmm interesting view, highly suspicious. But maybe covid and selling from home.
It has Payfast payment but personally I will stay away.

It is a scam webite. Try contacting them and you just can't get them to reply.

I tried their phone number 0878217697 and it goes to a full mailbox.
I tried their online chat but it is never answered. Sent a query ever hour from 4am to 10pm and no reply.
Emails sent directly to [email protected] from a mail client, as well as the online contact form are never replied to.

Well that tells you everything you need to know about them.
 
Don't trust reviews either, they could be fake. Any site admin can create accounts and leave fake reviews. Even found fake reviews on hellopeter for a scammy online shop
