I always ignore WantItAll when looking for products here, it's clearly just a "re-shipper" of overseas online stores so everything is always pretty insanely priced because you're paying the normal overseas online store "retail" price + the cost of it being shipped to SA + import tax + WantItAll's markup + local courier fee.

I think their market is people who have so much money that they don't care what it costs to get niche items imported, to me it's a bit sickening that said market here is apparently big enough to sustain such a company.

I think their market is people who don’t know better, and advertisers (if you search for x_product South Africa chances are they are one of the top results if it’s not on Takealot).

Shop and Ship (I think it’s called Aramex Global Shopper in SA) type forwarders should have killed wantitall.
