    Default Vouch for lesser known websites ?

    I opened a thread asking about graphics cards, now I find myself browsing local sites ive never heard of..
    All these sites have graphics cards cheaper than takealot, but I dont want to end up penny wise pound foolish..
    Anyone here ever bought from rebeltech / estorm / wootware / any other non mainstream websites ?
    I only ever buy from takealot but I notice their prices arent always the cheapest...
    Im browsing websites trying to see whats on special but I dont know if all these sites can be trusted to deliver.
    Any lesser known sites that can be trusted ? any local pc shop websites I should avoid ?

    Same, I've ordered from both of them and had no problems.

    Yeah Rebeltech and Wootware are both legit, with a greater variety of hardware than Takealot. The only plus for takealot is that you can pay with ebucks.

    There are more legit sites like Landmark PC, Evetech, Chaos Computers. I used Ikonix in the past as well, but their prices aren't as competitive as they used to be.

    I had a horrible experience with Evetech intalling the SSD in my laptop. Only let them do it to avoid voiding my warranty on the laptop. Had to go back for them to do a factory reset and drive clone, but ended up doing it myself as the hardware was already in. I might consider them for just buying something outright, but not for after sales service.

    That sucks. I've used them twice, bought my CPU cooler from them, and also bought a new cpu,mobo,ram bundle from them.

    I deal with Rebeltech on a daily basis, I've spent thousands (well over R150 000) just over the last year or so. Out of every single company I've used over the last 4-5 years Rebeltech is the only company I still deal with. They always put their customers 1st and they'll go to the ends of the earth for you.

    Give them a call, ask to speak to either Kayleigh or Rune (Owner) and tell them Jason recommended you to them and I'm sure you'll get even better service

    I'll +1 this one. I completely regret not getting my 970 from Rebeltech and opting for the Slightly Cheaper Wootware alternative. I miss rebeltech, they really are awesome
