Believe it or not, shopping is super-dangerous. Heading out to your local mall could seem like a fun excursion on a Saturday morning, but given the masses and hordes of people raiding your local mall, accidents are bound to happen.

The most dangerous obstacle: shopping trolley AKA the ankle-killer 5000.

An estimated 530,494 people were injured during a study period, averaging more than 24,000 annually, in shopping-related injuries involving trolleys. That’s 530,494 more reasons than you need to stay home and shopping online with Raru instead.

So if you’re sick of being trampled by store-goers, hit by trolleys, fearing for your life in old, squeaky elevators, and being hassled by people selling “salt from the Dead Sea” or whatever.

While they may be a new kid on the block, the team behind Raru are no newcomers to the game, as co-founders Neil Smith, Waine Smith and Jose Pereira were the founders of Take 2, now known as Takealot since being purchased by Tiger Global.

When buying on Raru, you’ll get free deliveries to all Main Centres for orders above R299 (including movies, video games, books, electronics and music), saving you time… and potentially, your life.
