Not keeping up with the Jones’

I have been shopping on takealot since the beginning. It is a great site to by difficult to find items. Unfortunately there is a lot of Chinese site resellers now, it cannot keep up with the new technology of phones and does not work with the iPhone 17 Pro at all and currently has the worst search bar function of any online shopping platform. They want me to buy a take a lot more subscription, but I live rural and there’s no way they’ve ever been able to hold to their shipping promises.
