Temu has great deals on many types of products, but PC components is not one of them.
South African gamers are far better off shopping locally than using Temu when it comes to buying parts for a desktop PC build.
Among the best-known players are Computer Mania, Wootware, First Shop, Evetech, Rebel Tech, Titan Ice, Progenix, and Dreamware Tech. However, some MyBroadband comparisons have found that it is possible to get certain components for cheaper from the US-based Amazon marketplace. Although we found several individual listings for cheaper than similar or equivalent products in South Africa, the selection was dismal.RAM was the only component available for substantially cheaper than in South Africa — and we did not recognise any of the memory brands in the listings.We nonetheless attempted to configure a fairly capable entry-level gaming PC for under R15,000, using the best possible components from Temu.
Tax amounts are much less mysterious and risky when using Amazon.com, which gives buyers precise import and duty tax figures.
