Worth a try, but delivery times is not the only factor. I go for the lowest prices normally and then complain if delivery is slow. Current waiting for a delivery from Raru.co.za. I chose pargo to save some few rands on delivery. It’s taking forever.

I hope all my 'customers' with a Mecer Inverter are also very happy with their service. :p:p:p:p
I know there were some wiring issues now and then but hope it was sorted out swiftly. If not, sorry for the inconvenience they have caused. :)
Reporting for duty :p

But seriously, absolutely top notch service from GeeWiz. I will definitely be making frequent use of them in the future

Imagine how well they will do if they sell 3D printers.

Hint @GeeWiz

But I realise they also want to sell stuff they can also givea advice in.
3D Printing requires a full time attention to tell people how to use it every-time something goes wrong. You really need a passion for it.

Pargo is usually quick. 2 days for Loot from CT to Gauteng. Didn't even go through all the updates before arriving. The delay is with Raru.

I'll add my 2c that I've also had super fast shipping and excellent aftersales service from Geewizz.

GeeWiz has the best technical support of all the major online technology retailers. You only need to look at the Ask A Question section for each online product. You would never be able to get that type of technical advice from Takealot, Loot, Makro etc.

It is always going to be difficult to compete with Takealot due to their market share and the deep pockets of Naspers but hopefully GeeWiz will be able to become a serious competitor in the future.

During the lockdown GeeWiz gave every customer a free face mask which was a nice gesture and makes the customer feel valued and appreciated. I am looking forward to their Black Friday Specials later this year.

They do :oops:

You will find them in the very logically placed path of:
HOME/COMPUTERS /PRINTERS AND SCANNERS /3D PRINTERS

I find it difficult to browse their site when just looking around. If I know what I'm looking for its fine by using the search but I usually like to just browse and add a few interesting things to my order.

Bought a Ubiquiti unifi-ap from them and it died sometime later, they collected for free(some retailers can learn from this) and delivered a working one back to me for free. I will always use and recommend them.

Only ever had great service from them. They were always the fastest delivery out of all the tech places.

So, bought some items yesterday from Geewiz (my 2nd sale). Got delivered today (after a 16:00 pickup from Geewiz). Destination over 1000Kms away.

This is a new record for me. Wow.

Was looking for a USB-C hub.

Found one potential on Geewiz but wasn't clear whether it had passthrough power. Emailed them Tuesday evening.

Their technical guy replied Wednesday morning, indicating that they are checking with their suppliers.
Replied an hour later, saying no, it won't do what I want and gave an alternative.

Ordered before 10:00 AM on Wednesday and got an email saying "It was ordered from our suppliers". My immediate thought was "ok, need to wait a couple of days"
Got another email at 17:00 the same Wednesday that it was shipped and delivered just around 13:00 today (Thursday).

Happy with Geewiz!
