Hi Awesme,

 

Unfortunately with the limited amount of stock arriving in South Africa we can't offer any discount on the Hero 3's.

 

Here was an email that was sent out to our pre-order customers regarding the Hero 3 Black Edition:

 

Afternoon,

I trust this email finds you well,

Just some feedback with regards to the Hero 3 Black Edition pre-orders. It was first initially announced by GoPro South Africa that stock would be arriving in South Africa early December and pending ICASA approval they would be available for retail by the 10th of December. We've just heard news that stock will only be arriving late December due to production issues in the US.

We at Action Cameras SA sincerely apologize for this. We understand you highly anticipating the arrival of your new camera but please bear in mind the arrival of the South African stock is totally beyond our control. As soon as we have more news on the South African arrival date we'll send out a mail and keep you posted.

If you have any questions please send them my way.

Thank you

Kind Regards

Hi Ulitmate Hubber,

 

The late arrival of the Silver Editions has been on the backhand of the ICASA approval. GoPro South Africa have been working night and day to get the Hero Silvers available. The Hero silvers are finally available. You welcome to contact us to order

Hi Action Camera.

 

All good and well, I can see your problem, but in that case, late December via local shop or R200 more and order directly from external SA and it gets here faster/earlier... as only options.

 

I'm all for supporting local ppl, but I for one know that my wife and family want to get my one for xMas,... they spoke to me to make sure they ordering the right thing.

Thanks, but a 45% premium ($300 overseas and R3 999 here) is a bit steep. 10% yes, 20% maybe, but 45% is a but hectic.

 

there is no import duty on Camera / photographic gear

 

will get a mate to bring it back with him in 2 weeks I reckon.

 

I import product and so I understand the game, but in a modern world, you cannot sell stuff at a 45% premium just because SA is out of the way. ESPECIALLY when there is no import duties!

Hi Awsme,

 

Just to confirm no one in South Africa will have stock till late December. If you even try order through GoPro.com they out of stock. Estimated delivery would only take place around the 10th December.

 

Always a good idea to purchase in South Africa for warranty issues.

 

Thanks You welcome to send questions through to us david@actioncameras.co.za

Sorry I didn't mention that the 10th of December delivery would be in America only!! Makes sense to purchase in South Africa!

If you're paying the VAT on the import, then it is much closer to 10-20% premium. If you're not paying the VAT, well it's a bit unfair to criticise the distributor based on a price that you can only get through illegal means.
