Profit margins on most items are small anyway, especially cellphones, gaming and electronics. Take away the fact that they offer free delivery, you somehow cannot blame them for adding a rand here or there to increase their margins. They can easily drop their prices, by a R100 rand, but charge you R150 for delivery this still turning a R50 profit.I'm sorry but if you're loyal to a profit making company that's your own fault. They are going to do what they have to so that they can make a profit. Similarly, you should do what you have to if you want to find the best prices.
Fact is, most companies negotiate pricing based on quantity they take. So if Wootware or Loot take more quantity than TAKEALOT from the same supplier, its more likely they would garner a lesser cost price, thus have the ability to drop their RSP. So while it may appear they are cheaper, for them as a company it was just smarter negotions etc to gain better pricing
