The best tech you can’t buy in South Africa, but can import

South Africa is often left out of the release plans of other companies, and Google, Amazon, and Tesla are among the businesses that don’t sell their products locally.

Would like to see the Surfacebook 3 here but it will cost an arm and a leg so they don't bring ti.

I bought the Shield TV Pro from Amazon last month, cost me R 4,387.81. I had to wait an extra week before the item was shipped, I think they delay shipping items to SA until they have a sufficient quantity, but overall the usual painless Amazon experience.

The thing I get most envious is the variety computer components available overseas compared to here - especially things like AIO coolers, cases and screens.

Amazon price includes everything (using Amazon global that is).

I ordered a set of special glasses [Goya Progressive Multifocal Reading Glasses] from the Amo but never received it, unfortunately - busy with inquiries about it at the moment but I'm not holding my breath though of ever even getting my money back, it won't break the Bank it is just the principle that counts as far as I am concerned...

Why would they even care about a small microbe like me in comparison to their size?
