    A bit disheartening with the takealot fee structure.
    Technically one is working for takealot in essence. 😏

    What does the subscription fee cover if it doesn't cover administrative things of the platform.

    Absolutely ludicrous fees. For any startup, it is a killer. In addition, they might even list your supplier's products at your cost price. This is applicable if your supplier is South African-based.

    this only makes sense if the fees are contrasted with costs of doing it yourself. You will still need storage, marketing, fulfillment costs etc. As it is now it is made as if the business would not be incurring these costs if it wasnt of take a lot, misleading i think.

      I faced that some months back in May, they lost my stock of about 40 products and it was a hustle to get reimbursed for that lost stock. Only got reimbursed in October and they still charged me success fees and fulfilment fees even though that stock had not been bought. I decided to take the reimbursement rather than keep fighting as I was really tired of the fight with them

    Nice video.... so if we store on takealot do we still have to pay delivery fees? Also if takealot charge the customer delivery fees do we also have to pay?

    • @AndrewForte1
      @AndrewForte1  2 года назад +4

      Yes you still have to pay delivery fees.
      No, the customer doesn't pay for shipping.
      You have to include these in your costs.

    Takealot charges way too much fees! We are forced to inflate our prices a lot just so we can make a profit. The customer suffers by paying high prices for items, and we dont benefit as those large profits don't even come to us. Takealot is the greedy middle man that is eating all the profits.
    In this state if economy where most south Africans are living hand to mouth, we do not need to be ripped off by large companies.
    I wish there were a smaller scale competitor company to takealot that charged reasonable fees. Takealot is running the monopoly and really needs a competitor! I cant wait for the launch of Amazon next year.

    Hey man, this video is VERY informative however I am concerned about the subscription Fee which you mentioned is R460.00, because I have went onto the site and found that it states it is R400.00. Is there some type of hidden R60.00 which is not mentioned when signing up as a seller?

    • @AndrewForte1
      @AndrewForte1  2 года назад +10

      I think it's all quoted excluding VAT.

    Takealot is one of the companies that complain about red tape by government and regulators. But they're also imposing red tape on small businesses through their insane costs.
