Amazon.co.za and Takealot performed well during a same-day shipping test by MyBroadband.
MyBroadband tested the same-day shipping from Takealot and the newly launched Amazon South Africa, and both e-commerce companies performed very well.
For products fulfilled by Amazon, customers will enjoy free delivery on their first order, followed by free delivery for subsequent orders above R500. To see how Amazon South Africa compares to Takealot, we ordered identical SanDisk flash drives from both stores at 9 am Wednesday morning to test the same-day delivery claims.
If we chose the cheaper shipping option, Amazon promised standard delivery on Thursday, while Takealot only claimed they would deliver by Friday.Checkout on both platforms was simple, and we quickly got order confirmations from both platforms that our orders would arrive the same day.
