Thumbs-up to SA online retail

I interacted very seamlessly on the online platforms of both TFG's Bash and Makro recently. Ordinarily, I preferred walk-in purchase with SA retailers, using only amazon for online purchases. The experience with amazon has always left nothing to be desired leading me to conclude SA retailers will not match. My first attempt at online purchase from our own retailers, Bash and Makro, was a pleasant one around. They met all their promises, with prompt delivery and post delivery service. Our abysmal government services are an embarrassment. With private sector such as we have, we deserve far better from government services, the fire service, ambulance, police, municipality etc. There has been offers recently from the corporate sector to avail themselves to the government for the public good. This must be grabbed with both hands. Our established businesses are world-competitive. Those that are still stragglers, not meeting customer expectations and falling short of what they promise need to urgently wake up.
