I order quite a lot from Amazon and never had that issue. Well maybe not 11 times a year though.

Edit: already at eight orders for 2021! Did 12 orders in 2020. Though some items may have been grouped together. Got three on the way from Banggood, so I'll definitely hit the limit soon. As you may guess I like shopping online.

Nice, well done for getting away with it so far.
And when and if you do get busted just plea stupidity like I did.
Apparently an importers code is very cheap and you only apply for it once and thats it.
I just dont like standing in queues which is why i havent bothered

Just can't win. R3,500 for car window and rust last week. Yesterday I hear a thud on the stoep zinc roof, didn't take much notice of it as birds land on it and make a noise all the time. An hour ago I pet my cat and feel something wrong, turn him around and he has lacerations on his chest and leg. Rush off to vet. Vet visit will be R2,000. Vet says she doesn't think it was a fight but rather hooked onto something. So after looking around we identify it. The badly rusted chimney cowl. Cat must have sat on it (he can jump 2.5 meter and get onto a double story house!) and fell off and hooked his skin on the rusty points and landed on the roof. Shame he must have had the injuries since yesterday. So urgently getting the cowl replaced, another R3,000. Sigh. And the new month hasn't even started yet! Trying to save money not spend R8,500 on crap. Oh well, I was planning on having the cowl replaced.

Well my diet is fucked today. Will have to babysit a post-sedated cat that wants to escape from my study tonight. So there will be wine. He's going to moan and I need to sedate myself.

Cat is coming home with a cone. This is a cat that didn't even have a collar in his eight years. It's going to be hell for ten days.

Ag he looks cute.

This is way better option than the cone, he was crashing into everything. Took a baby t-shirt thing, cut the bottom off, enlarged the neck area, cut open the front, sewed two buttons into the front/bottom, added a loop through the two arm holes for the neck, and there you go, a cat shirt, all loosely fitting. He's can't/isn't grooming the wound and it's not bothering him, so it's a success imo.
