importing from amazon

[DubbelBuys]

The thread about "Pocket knives" got my fingers itching for a ( / some) new knive(s).

 

Has anyone imported to SA from amazon.com ?

 

What would the approx tax rate be on knives?

 

Got this,

That's awesome.

Sounds great!

 

I remember something about "we cannot ship this item to your selected adress" error message when I wanted to order some pedals a while ago.

 

Have you used your PO Box or street adress or 1 of those APO adresses?

The error happens on restricted items like childrens toys (a stupid US law) and when buying from sellers on Amazon.

Uhm okay.

I bought the black for 50 dollars on its release in July whilst visiting there.

CWC asks 550.
