Overpriced remainders and a sprinkling of new releases. Not recommended.
I’ve been selling and buying items on Bobshop for almost 10 years. My agonies started with the R30 that sellers have to pay (for orders over R100) for the shipping. Losing money on almost every sale, and I can’t increase my prices, otherwise my customers will look elsewhere. Then they removed the ‘Recent Sales’ tab, which I frequently used as both a buyer and seller. Why would you remove it? Then last week days they have started removing quantity indications next to product categories, which is super-annoying both as a buyer and seller. Also, they now list all the categories for each seller, whether you have those products or not. Now it looks like you as a seller can’t be bothered about listing items? I only use about 5 different categories when listing items, but every single one gets displayed, and if you click on them, nothing. It looks bad. Dear Bobshop, it’s all in the details! I’ve already sent several suggestions to them about this, but as expected no response. It’s still the best platform for selling items online in SA, but it feels like they are just changing things for the sake of changing things. Sound fami****?

A chain of 3 bookshops in Johannesburg, and online at www.bookdealers.co.za Each shop has a large selection of used and collectable books, and also some remainders at low prices. Lots of fiction, general non-fiction, Africana, children's books, and much more. Good service, great prices, and well worth exploring. (Shops in Melville, Rivonia and Blubird)
Utterly hopeless at delivering parcels. For two days I get messages saying "Your Parcel Will Be Delivered Today". Nothing. On the tracking page it says the driver couldn't find me? I had my phone on me the whole time. No communication whatsoever. Avoid Fastway, don't make the same mistake I did. I have learnt from my experience, I will never use them again, and never recommend them to anyone. They have one job to do, and can't do it.
