I am curious to know what you guys order and whether you really saved any money and whether you think they were useful after receiving delivery. I will start.

Order #1. Total was R289 including taxes and at the time of purchase, this particular strength band (100-100lbs) was available for R399 from Gorilla sports. Not all blue bands have same strength so I might have saved just about R90-100 as I don't know how tax was split.

Resistance band is awesome for certain movements mimicking deadlift and shoulder press. Of course, DL weight cannot be same but I am not a weight lifter so very useful for me.

Order #2

Total was about R300 including taxes and pretty sure saving of R100 again. Basketball net was torn due to hailstorm and no one here sells it so I ordered 2. Son happy and that counts. He had fun with spiral drawing as well. Resistance bands are decent for some tennis specific side steps and even to help with push-ups.

tiny saw blades - hopefully will be useful soon for some DIY project.

Refrigerator was leaking but by the time order arrived, it sorted itself out. LOL.

I got like 20 of those 3m tapes. Using them for my cables. Very nice. A bit small might get a bigger size but very handy very cheap.

Got a bunch of these ear buds also :ROFL:
R8 for 100 shipped all the way from China to my door for free.
 
Value for money is debateable on some things. I received a very thin bath mat and car wash cloths. They weren't worth the money. Some things were worth the price, but I didn't save much - it's more a case of I wouldn't know where to buy those things in SA, or the delivery fee from the SA online store made them expensive.

Nice but about earbuds, all GP's that I visited have advised me not to use them. Once I had to visit an ear specialist and he did that water syringe cleaning thing as I couldn't hear properly and later on he told me that because I used buds, I kept pushing wax inside.
 
Anyone bought IP camera's and can vouch for them ... some drop to R160?

That 3m velcro style tape was what caught my eye for the first order, and the USB hubs, and then USB C 3 in 1 to breakout another HDMI port were all good.

For R160, I am willing to be a guinea pig. Let me check them out.

Haha looks like we al bought the same thing. I also bought that tape on my 1st order works very well removed all my cable ties now one can easily add and remove cables. :) Got 2 of those 360 degree cameras in the cart just waiting for payday can't order now it will mess up my budget :ROFL:
 
These are all my "free" items reason why it's quotations because I am not sure if I'm gonna pay a hefty customs import tax. Since they're "valued" over a r1000 not too sure how sars deal with these "free" items if anyone know lemme know. What I know is when buying from China never buy clothes,bedding or frankly any furnishing it's not worth it even pep has better quality. Let's see how these turns out before I spend any money on them. Also noticed just like Wish and Shein their titles,descriptions can be very misleading so be careful just picking something because of the title. I'll update if there's any movement. Cheerios

Well that's a given you're not suppose to stick anything in your ears except water. If you have fax again just use a sirenge with water and clear out your ear or use sweet oil. You save a R600 trip from the doctor:cool:

Last water syringe treatment was about 18 years ago. I would gladly pay R600 if I have to - I am not very experimental in medical matters and trust specialists to do their job. :p
