    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

    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😅.

    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.
