S25 Ultra, South Africa is just a dumping ground

[MetaB13]

It is shocking to see that here in South Africa, we are expected to pay far more for the S25 Ultra than other countries, with less benefits and options than other countries.

We get the 256Gb in 4 colours, and the 512Gb and 1Tb in Henry Fords colour choice of Black?

Our base 256GB at R29000 is the same price as the UK 512GB version, but you have 4 colours to choose from and some great benefits.

Then 50% off of your small selection of cases and a paltry 15% of the Buds 3 Pro, whereas the US has 72% off of the.Buds 3 Pro....(that's R1300 in the US versus possibly, R4100 for the Buds 3?)

From a trade in perspective, expect nothing more than R11500 for your S24 Ultra in Excellent condition (before inspection), and the prices dip from their for your prized smart phone.

Why Samsung? Are we not one of your important markets for your product?

I have been a loyal Samsung user since the smart phone i7500 and to see how we are being ripped off, makes me really reconsider my upgrade path for this year and the future.

They don't own freight vehicles remember, soo what ever freight charge comes from the freight company of choice.... you'll be surprised how much these devices cost in store this side....

That's really a minor cost, last mile courier is nothing. The bulk cargo of smart devices arrived in large shipping containers, which arrived in Port and was sent to Samsung Warehousing for dispatch....in any case, not getting into a passionate debate on logistics and carriage costs....just sharing my opinion and thoughts on the situation at hand in terms of S25 Ultras in ZA vs the rest of the world. Thanks for the debate Munatsi, no ill feelings bro

None at all, I'm looking to get it from that side, our samsung distributors this side are selling it for an arm and a leg😅

[MetaB13]

Might be better of getting a friend from US or UK to bring it for you

I've just posted about the same thing, Samsung South Africa isn't doing a great job with their marketing here. The rest of the world is getting all sorts of extras thrown into their deals, the S23 Ultra still trades-in for far much better value than the S24 Ultra here. It's ridiculous

[ZakPooe]

Look at these

[Munatsi399]

Trade advantages.... try ordering from there and see

[MetaB13]

Yeah bro, very very sad....especially when you're fully entrenced in the Samsung ecosystem.....

If it was a dumping ground, it would be sold cheaply... Just say they're not taking us seriously
