RodTi Posted April 1, 2011 Share Hello All, Just placed an order off CRC, total value being R57,00... Something small that, AFAIK, not too easy to get hold of here. Figured I'd go with Royal Mail - since paying 3x the value of the item on postage, aint too smart - and I am curious as to whether I simply had bad luck on my very first order (in 2009), that still hasn't arrived via RM... Will pop up a post when it's dispatched - and then report back when (if ) it arrives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted April 1, 2011 Share My last order was for a single set of ODI grips that weren't available in SA. With postage and Vat it was still cheaper then the equivalent local product. Also used royal mail and it only took 6 working days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted April 1, 2011 Share The wait doesn't depend on Royal Mail: it depends on customs at Cape Mail in Thornton.I've waited 2 months for my last 5 overseas buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
