Our Story:
Special Buys is an internationally proven concept, reinvented for South Africa. A destination for great value and incredible deals. We believe that shopping should be more than just a transaction, it should be exciting. Our story is rooted in a simple passion, the relentless pursuit of delivering the absolute best prices in South Africa without compromising on the quality.
Special Buys was founded by a highly experienced retail team with a proven track record of building successful international brands, including the original founders of HiFi Corporation in South Africa. The founders bring decades of hands-on experience in sourcing quality products worldwide, at incredible prices.
The Wednesday Drop
Every Wednesday, a minimum of 5 products drop at unbeatable prices. Limited stock, which is gone forever after 7 days.
Every Sunday, we reveal 5 new Special Buys deals, giving Special Buys members an exclusive preview of what's coming next. Quantities are limited per customer, and once they're gone, they're gone. These deals remain available until sold out or until the following Wednesday, whichever comes first.
Everyday Special Buys
And the deals don't stop there. Our Everyday Special Buys brings unbeatable deals available every day, with stock constantly changing. New products arrive regularly, so there's always something fresh to discover. Every visit is like a treasure hunt, where you never know what incredible products and deals await.
Always The Lowest Prices
Direct factory sourcing from Asia (no middlemen) + exclusive brand overstock deals. If it's not the lowest prices in South Africa, it doesn't get stocked. Every time. Guaranteed.
Innovation in Your Pocket
We know our customers move fast, so we've built the tools to stay ahead. The Special Buys App is your backstage pass to the value revolution, giving members early access to upcoming deals and ensuring they never miss out on the next Wednesday Drop.
To qualify for our exclusive deals, customers simply need to download and register on the Special Buys App, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Registration unlocks access to upcoming offers and ensures members are first in line when the deals drop.
Unbeatable Value: We ensure our prices are the most competitive in the country.
Special Buys isn't just a retail destination; it’s South Africa’s home for the "Special Buy." Whether you’re a seasoned bargain hunter or a first-time visitor, we invite you to join the treasure hunt.
