I friend of mine told me about On-cloud running shoes which I've never heard of before, maybe because I live under a rock or it's because I hate running.
But anyways, to make a long story short, I was curious so I asked to give me a link and I will have a look.
So I had a look at the link https://tifosisports.co.za
Tifosi Sports is the official importer/distributor in SA and you are right, the shoes are pretty expensive, and they do not give any discounts.
If you've been here long enough, you'd know the next best thing people do is to do a search on the web and see who else sells it and perhaps you can pick up a bargain or two. You guessed it, there are some websites selling it for less than half the price! Then I was thinking, this sounds too good to be true! After further investigations, etc, etc....All scams, some looking VERY legit, and others selling cheap chineez look-alikes! So be warned people.
Another thing I picked up are the courier companies....
There must be a syndicate at work here as well.
When you order something online, the supplier uses a curier company to collect and deliver. There are workers/agents/drivers in these companies that now go and pick up your parcel for delivery. They have all your details e.g. name, address, phone number. You get a sms from a +27 08708... number:
Due to the wrong delivery address of your package,
the delivery of the package has been suspended,
please update it in time:
https://s.id/Postoza
You put in your address, then submit. After you submit you then need to provide your credit card details as it was delivered to the "incorrect" address in case they need to charge you for it.
Edit: BTW, the https://s.id/Postoza was a dead give away, but I had a peek as i was curious.
