Hi Morne, my DHL Express from Merlin was R879

Thanks, I got the call this morning, paid my Duty online and was amazed that no hidden fees were included. R1984.10 paid to DHL on an order of R10,814 - equates to 16.5% VAT (R1784) + There was only a R200 forward fee or something to that effect. In the end I landed my Fulcrum Racing Wind 400 Carbon wheelset in SA for R13676.78 Merlin Cycles had them on sale plus there was a pre-stock take sale that took another 20% off the order total. Cheapaest I can find them in SA is R20k (on sale) - Very Happy indeed

Hello Morne, Can you remember at what point you got the mail from DHL to pay the VAT and Import Fees? Is it only after the package landed in SA or before it arrives? (to speed up clearance on this side) I have an order that is (presumably) waiting for customs clearance in the UK. It's been sitting at Heathrow since Sunday, hoping that it clears soon and makes a flight to SA.
