The site offers safe, secure online shopping for all the leading brands at competitive prices and guaranteed delivery straight to the purchaser's door, even on weekends."

The site is endorsed by customers on consumer feedback and rating website, HelloPeter, by consistently being voted one of the most complimented retail companies in South Africa.
