Transactional emails sent by Bob Shop are crucial for the functioning of the Bob Shop trading platform. They call on users to take an action: place a higher bid, conclude a purchase, answer a question, finalise a sale, and so on.
To ensure that these emails reach your inbox, you may need to whitelist the addresses they come from. This is a quick, once-off task. All you need to do is add the sender to your email client’s address book or safe senders list. For transactional emails, the sender is bobshop-noreply@bobshop.co.za; for customer support - support@bobshop.co.za; for newsletters- campaign@bobshop.co.za. If your email client gives you the choice, add the sending domain - @bobshop.co.za - to the safe list. This will ensure that our messages reach your inbox.
