Excellent video! I agree with shopping on Amazon instead of local shops, especially when it comes to electronics. I have personally saved thousands so far! :)
Certainly the biggest platform in the world and the best in my opinion with great deals👍
Got back from work and its the first video I'm currently watching .Great Content
This was helpful, thanks Themba 👍 and congrats on the channel 👌
Thank you for this video. I am one of those South Africans who are skeptical about shopping on Amazon but this video has shown how easy it can be and what to look out for.
Excellent video, it took away some of the concerns of ordering from Amazon.
Very informative video ... All questions about Amazon answered, thanks a lot!
Thanks Themba. You're an excellent teacher! It's clear, comprehensive and educational

This was very informative👏🏽👏🏽, Thank you. something else to check. If you’re shopping on Amazon from South Africa always make sure the product is “Sold by Amazon” or “Sold by ____ and Fulfilled by Amazon” this means it’s coming from their warehouses so should you have any issues, returning won’t be an issue. If it does not mention any of the above it is probably coming from a 3rd party seller (people just selling on the Amazon platform, they handle their own sales and shipping) returns and refunds from 3rd party sellers can be such a hassle and Amazon can never refund you on behalf of a 3rd party seller
awesome amazon video👌
This is interesting. I’ll need to refer back to this video though, especially on the voltage issue…. Also, we need a cool intro for this channel 😂😊

great video...i also wanna get the anker life q30 headphones they only get good reviews i never think to check amazon thanks
Hebane Themba. Usisifundisa ukushokwa ugesi manje? Amazinyo abefunani emaplagini? 😂😂 For real for real though, this was another great video. I have never ordered on Amazon for myself for delivery in SA, I usually order and have it delivered to someone in the US who is coming to SA. So this video has emboldened me to take the step and do it for myself 🙈. As they say, do it scared- just do it😅.

Unfortunately SARS wants their cut. There’s no work around. Shop around in Amazon, I’ve noticed that sometimes the shipping and customs charges varies between sellers in Amazon.
Im not sure if ebay ships to south Africa but I would love to know your thoughts on it if you use it. I'm not south African but I use amazon atleast 5 times a month. I personally love amazon and I think thier customer service is exceptional.
dankie
If you make a purchase on different items like a device and clothing, will the shipping fee and customs be combined or you have to pay for each item fees?
Hey… please tell me, I bought a light, a standing task light… I’m worried about it’s burning out… what must I do? I don’t see anything on their site that’s helpful…

My brother, i wanna buy "manuka honey and mastic gum" from amazon but the worry is will they go through South African customs?
Would really love to win the giveaway loads to get from amazon ....good luck to everyone
is there a limit on the number of products i can import? SARS page says only 3 in a calendar year
The light I bought say’s: it has a 12.5 Watt power saving LED light which offers 3,000K warm light LED technology with 1150 lumens (90W incandescent equivalent). What does that mean? Can I use it in SA… Eish these things are stressing me, please let me know when you get a chance none of this makes sense to me.
where can I buy amazon gift cards for Amazon South Africa? Preferably online. Thanks!
Wow now I can shopp nowing that it safe to buy things on to Amazon my name is themba to from nkwanyana in south Africa bro
hi is it safe to buy a cellphone on amazon ??

If you were to buy an iPhone from amazon will the South African charging adapter work when charging an iPhone bought from amazon since well SA and US use different types of charging adapters?

You'll need to buy a universal adapter or unless you more than welcome to buy a new charger
Also… I cleared my cart as one order, I do understand that it’s from different sellers, but the annoying part was they didn’t take the full amount of R9600 they took it in bits and pieces, which annoyed me. Again, my second batch arrived today with DHL, so did my first, these arrived between 4days - 9days, which I was very happy about. But what I’m not happy about is that; the stuff that came were just stuff I added to the cart only because I was already shopping there. Now my lights, and other decor stuff is coming through ARAMEX, the pits!!! I’m so impatient!!! They haven’t updated since Thursday, and mind you this will be 3 different batches of delivery with ARAMEX. Arrrggghh! How long does it take usually with ARAMEX, everything I bought was available in stock.

Yeah so I haven’t used any of these shippers yet but I’ve heard of Aramex Global Shopper and DHL Africa eShop that can get you what you need, my only gripe is the cost, they are quite expensive - especially DHL. Maybe I will try them out and do a review. Thanks for watching bro!

Give it a few hours. Typically they charge your card just before they ship the order.
they have the best gaming upgrades you cant even find in SA
