You need to really be using takealot religiously to benefit from this..

Guess this is takealot's answer to Amazon Prime, if and when they introduce it to SA..

Please make the screen shot smaller, it is too easy to read. Thanks.
 
In my view, you either reward loyalty or you reward your subscribers. Since emphasis is placed on onboarding, only new customers are rewarded anyway. The Takaelot subscription makes no sense to me, since it targets turnaround time. Yes, you can save with heavy-bulk items, but it is irregular purchase items.

It does not even have a candle to hold to Amazon Prime.

I once opted to get next day delivery with Takealot, and it ended up being a normal delivery. Not a good experience. I will stick to the standard.
 
@Clean Green already has this Takealot Subscription Plan bundled with his MyBB Enterprise Edition package he purchased last year.
 
Besides the R39 Standard seeming a bit pointless - it just seems like you'd end up disappointed more often than not expecting your same / next day delivery and it doesn't come. I just cba to deal with customer support anymore and will avoid things like this for almost that reason alone.
 
The fck with them. Charging me for collection of an item as well. Tsek.

For comparison. Prime video, prime music and no minimum amounts to mention a few big differences.

But honestly it is a grand canyon of differences between the two

Well, their knee jerk reaction to Amazon launching was to price match everything Amazon had on special, on their daily deals.. Amazing how a little competition suddenly saw some actual, legit deals show up on Takealot's daily deals for a change..

Thus far it seems takealot is going to continue playing catch-up with Amazon..

Hate to say it but those are some terrible benefits, especially as most keep the R500 minimum , even Ubers subscription service is better.

Totally. The R500 thing is a slap in the face.

Takealot CEO promises "step change" in the next month

Goodness. Another rehashed TaL vs Amazon article. Just launch, and get it over and done with... Ama-taking your sweet time! Are you moaning at Amazon? Direct your ire to the right people please, Takealot and MyBB journalists.

Again, prime isn't about shipping in the US. Most people in the US get prime because you get access to Amazon's streaming service.
Would you pay Takealot's fee if you got access to Netflix? Of course you would, it just makes sense.

To think that Prime is about shipping these days is a massive misunderstanding of what Prime is actually about.
