I'm trying to ensure that this page is an encyclopedic as possible. In terms of notability and importance, WantItAll.co.za is the biggest online retailer in South Africa in terms of product catalogue (stocking Amazon.com product catalogue). According to traffic and visitors it is the second biggest online retailer in South Africa Alexa Internet.

The fraud and theft debacle with the South African Post Office is noteworthy and means that shipping any products from the USA is prohibitively expensive although there is huge demand for this service, so WantItAll has stepped in where the Post Office has failed.

Additionally, the two venture capitalists that have invested in the company are very notable in South Africa and in the case of David Frankel, the world of venture capitalism. This endorsement by the two entrepreneurs speaks to the relevance and notability of the company. The founder of the company, Justin Drennan has also been noted here: http://www.mg.co.za/article/2009-06-12-300-young-south-africans-technology-continued as 300 Young South Africans to Watch: Technology.

I still feel that the website's prominence in the very small online retail space in SA, the partnership with Amazon due to the South African Post Office blacklisting, combined with venture capital from two prominent South African entrepreneurs, as well as the recognition of one of the founders as a Young South African to watch is enough to make this entry warranted.
