- 2–3 business days (Main Centres)
- 3–4 business days (Regional Areas)
Can I collect my order?
We currently offer delivery only. Our operations are warehouse based and not open to the public, which helps us dispatch orders faster, maintain stock accuracy, and keep pricing competitive. All deliveries are handled by trusted couriers with tracking, and you can add optional shipping insurance at checkout for extra peace of mind.
If you have an urgent request or special delivery instruction, please contact us via [email protected] or live chat and we will do our best to assist.
Which payment methods do you accept and why does my total change if I choose a method other than EFT Bank Transfer at checkout?
We accept a wide range of payment methods. All prices shown on Cliqtosave already include an EFT Bank Transfer discount, which applies only when you pay via direct EFT.
If you choose a different payment method at checkout, the EFT discount does not apply and the standard price is shown before you confirm payment.
| Payment method (standard price applies) | Typical variance vs EFT price |
|---|---|
| Capitec Pay via Ozow / Ozow Pay by Bank / Ozow Crypto (Bitcoin, Luno, Bybit & VALR) / PeachPayments (EFTSecure / Pay by Bank) | 1.80% |
| SnapScan / PeachPayments (Apple Pay) | 3.55% |
| PayFast / PeachPayments (Card Payment, Scan to Pay & 1Voucher) / Ozow Card Payment | 4.20% |
| Ozow Cash Voucher (1Voucher) | 4.85% |
| PeachPayments (ZeroPay, Payflex & Happy Pay) / Ozow Happy Pay | 6.45% |
Example: If a product shows R1,000 with the EFT discount and you choose a method listed above with 3.55% variance, the standard price shown at checkout would be R1,035.50. You will see the total before payment.
Variances reflect partner processing models and may change. EFT Bank Transfer has no additional variance. Last updated: 28 Sep 2026.

Do you offer bulk discounts?
Our listed prices are already market competitive. However, depending on the required quantity and total order value, we may be able to offer better pricing. Email us at [email protected] or chat with us live on our website to discuss your bulk requirements.
Do you provide formal quotations?
Yes, we provide formal quotations for products available on our website. Please email your request to [email protected] and include the product SKU or product link so we can prepare an accurate quote.
I found the same product cheaper somewhere else. Can Cliqtosave match the price? Recommended
Yes. If you find the same product listed at a lower price from another reputable South African online store, please share the product link with us through live chat or email [email protected]. We will review the offer and do our best to match or beat the price, depending on costs, stock availability, and market conditions at that time.
Do you provide insurance on shipping?
Yes. We offer both insured and non-insured shipping options at checkout. For extra peace of mind, you can select optional shipping insurance at 2.5% of the product price. This covers your order in the unlikely event of loss or damage during transit. If you do not select this option, your shipment will be sent without insurance.
Do you offer Free Shipping?
Yes, we offer Free Shipping on orders above R2,499. Please note that larger or heavier items might incur a courier surcharge. We will notify you after your order is placed if any additional surcharge applies.
Volumetric note: A surcharge may apply if the package’s volumetric weight
(length × breadth × height ÷ 4000) exceeds 10 kg.
I thought shipping was free over R2,499. Why did I receive an email from Cliqtosave saying there is a courier surcharge on my order? Recommended
We completely understand that this can be confusing. Here is why:
At Cliqtosave, we strive to offer the best product prices in South Africa. To make this possible, our Free Shipping on orders above R2,499 applies to orders within 10 kg actual or volumetric weight.
However, courier companies charge extra for shipments exceeding that range, based on package size, weight, and distance.
Rather than increasing our product prices for everyone, we prefer to keep prices low for all customers and only apply a courier surcharge when needed.
This approach ensures fair and transparent pricing while allowing us to absorb most standard delivery costs.
You can always request a shipping quote before placing an order by simply sending us the product SKU or product link/URL through live chat or emailing [email protected].

Next-Generation Performance, Fully Wireless
Meet the Keychron V5 Ultra 8K, a next-generation 96% wireless custom mechanical keyboard engineered for serious performance. It pairs an ultra-fast 8000 Hz polling rate in wireless mode with up to 660 hours of battery life, multiple layers of acoustic foam and full ZMK customisation — delivering a refined typing experience with premium sound and complete control over every key. The all-new rotary knob puts volume and shortcuts right at your fingertips.
8K Polling Meets True Wireless Freedom
The V5 Ultra 8K runs a high-speed 8000 Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4 GHz wireless modes, keeping input lag to an absolute minimum for ultra-responsive performance. A powerful ARM core MCU with 1 MB of flash drives the open-source ZMK firmware, while Bluetooth 5.3 lets you connect up to three devices and switch between your computer, phone and tablet on the fly. Latency stays barely noticeable, even in competitive play.
Marathon Battery, Zero Compromise
Don't wait for a full charge — the V5 Ultra 8K runs even while charging, with a continuous battery life of up to 660 hours with the backlight off (or up to 200 hours with RGB at lowest brightness). Based on five hours of daily use, that's roughly four months of creating, working or gaming between charges, so you can rely on it for extended periods without constant top-ups.
Silky-Smooth Silk POM Switches
The V5 Ultra 8K comes with pre-lubed Keychron Silk POM Red switches built for gamers and typists who demand precision and durability. Crafted from high-quality POM housing and stem, these linear switches deliver a smooth, consistent keystroke with a quiet sound signature, rated for up to 50 million presses. Thanks to the hot-swappable PCB, you can drop in almost any 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switch without soldering.
Built for Premium Sound and Feel
A gasket mount design paired with a PC plate softens acoustic resonance for a quieter, more cushioned typing experience. Inside sit multiple acoustic layers — sound-absorbing foam, EPDM foam, PET films and case foam — tuned for a satisfying sound. Screw-in PCB stabilisers keep the larger keys stable and rattle-free, OSA double-shot PBT keycaps resist oil and fading, and the south-facing RGB LEDs light the board with 22+ presets, Per-key RGB and Mix RGB.
