Nice one.

 

How bad were the duties/taxes?

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Nice one.

 

How bad were the duties/taxes?

Ass-rapingly bad.

 

if the local guys had had stock, the cost would have been R 1,430 or so. Total cost to me - R 1,798.00

 

Okay - shipping was refunded by CRC so the actual cost was R 1,599.00

 

Duties were R 272.10

VAT was R 177.80

Disbursement fee was R 150

Shoes (incl shipping) were R 1100 (GBP went up that day - sigh)

 

BUT - it was a gamble. I know guys who have had shoes come through duty free, when they ordered the shoes alone. But do I regret it? No.

 

R 1,599 vs probably even more had I asked for the local guys to bring in more stock. And I had them in 8 days (crappy DHL) vs probably a month waiting for the distributors waiting to bring in a container full of them and other shoes / equipment.

Unlucky dude. At least you have them now.

 

About to hear my fate from DHL. They'll probably tear me a new one.

yeah. Let's see if DHL come to the party and offer me something as compensation. One of their relationship managers promised something, so we'll see.

 

Pay for 2 - 4 day express, get 8 day via Australia. Pfft.
