South African expansion

In April 2013, Wantitall invested in online design retailer Citymob.co.za, allowing Citymob to upscale and increase its product offering, as it will have a better distribution system. Subsequent to the investment, citymob was rebranded to superbalist.com

In November 2014 Wantitall launched an outsourced warehouse and logistics business parcelninja.co.za, which attracted R20M investment from C5 Holdings in the United Kingdom.

Amazon blacklists South African Post Office

WantItAll formed a strategic partnership with Amazon.com to stock their entire product catalogue partly because Amazon "blacklisted" the South African Post Office for deliveries. This "blacklisting" was due to theft, inefficiency and lack of service commitment by the South African Post Office and meant that shipping products from the US via courier for individual South Africans would be prohibitively expensive.

By offering the entire Amazon.com product catalogue as a reseller, WantItAll allows the South African public to continue to buy products from Amazon.com in the United States and have them delivered to their door. WantItAll achieves this through consolidating orders within the US in order to reduce shipping costs to South Africa, while those shipments are then dispatched on a weekly basis via DHL courier. Customers also then have access to local support and consistent tracking of their deliveries.

Product catalogue

Although WantItAll maintains a solid partnership with Amazon.com and features approximately 14 million products in its database, the relationship with Amazon is not exclusive. WantItAll also stocks numerous other products and product categories sourced from other suppliers. This is to counteract issues experienced when there is no stock of a product available on Amazon.com.

The WantItAll product categories include books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray, software, consumer electronics, kitchen items, tools, gardening equipment, toys, gaming, baby products, apparel, sports equipment, jewelry, watches, health items, beauty products, musical instruments, clothing, and various other products.
