careers at OneDayOnly
OneDayOnly hold the esteemed title of being South Africa's original daily deals website. Our deals offer excellent discounts, limited supply and are on sale for one day only (hence our uber-creative name). We partner with top brands and key suppliers to able to offer their products to hundreds of thousands of potential customers through our daily mailer, the website itself and social media marketing. Provided the quality and price is right, we'll sell anything - and that's exactly what makes us so appealing to both buyer and seller. Couple this with the urgency of the deal and it creates a winning formula for a high number of sales in a very short space of time.
But, believe it or not, this website doesn't run itself: we employ a varied assortment of human beings to sell things, buy things, process things, and repair things.

Recruitment companies: thank you for sending us a thousand emails. We'll call if we need anything. You can stop emailing us now thank you.

about us
Without our website, we don't exist as a company. That'd be like Uber without cars. Oh, Uber themselves don't actually own any cars? Never mind then.

- Demonstrable software development track record

How can we help you?
Frequently asked questions
Did you get my payment?
Quite possibly. If you paid via EFT, please allow us a little time to process. If your bank sent us proof of payment, you should receive a confirmation email in the next hour or so.
Where is my order?
That's easy to find out: go to your account to find out. But keep in mind the next question:
Why do you take 5 - 10 working days to ship?!?
The short version? It's because we don't hold stock. Our partners deliver exactly what we need, after a deal has run. That way we keep our costs down, prices low and everybody (including you) happy.
