Cellphone retail in Sandton involves real logistics that most customers don't see. Stock rotation happens fast because Johannesburg's business crowd upgrades frequently and wants the latest models immediately. Network coverage varies block by block—what works brilliantly in one office park might drop signal two streets over, so staff need to actually understand Sandton's infrastructure, not just read a data sheet. Repairs require knowing which parts arrive from where and how long genuine replacements take versus cheap knock-offs that fail within months. Processing contracts, handling insurance claims, and managing returns all depend on systems that can keep pace with the volume and complexity of a financial district where people expect things done yesterday. The shops that survive here are those with proper supply chains and technical knowledge baked in.
