Ive always been tempted to purchase stuff from CRC but not sure of the costs involved. What kind of import duties do you get charged if yo buy from CRC?

 

Would appreciate info on this process, thanks.

I'm new and dumb when it comes to ordering bicycle stuff overseas. What will the total costs be (duty costs and everything included) when I order this wheelset from CRC? I see the delivery is for free so got that covered.

Also have the same question on CRC, how do the costs work?

I've had things ordered from bike-discount.de before, had great service and will use them again.

 

(Maybe cause they are German......) :blush:

Recent dealings with Merlin Cycles and Pro Bike Shop.

 

Both extremely good experience. PBS ships to JHB within 48 hours but at a premium so make sure it's a big order.

Merlin shipping with Royal Mail. Took a week to get here. Great prices and a healthy discount on some items.

I found this store who are also an ebay seller, anybody used them, prices are REALLY good. (R4000 for a 2014 reba)

They are legit, good prices was sorely tempted to buy some XT brakes from them a while back but then I got Hopes! :)

 

If you feeling a little wary then maybe buy what you want through their eBay store.

eBay buyer protection FTW.
