Dubber Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 This thread use to be very active. See there is not a lot of movement on it anymore. People stop building Chinese bikes or are they just not posting about it anymore? I do not see many Chinese bikes on rides?Possibly the Rand/Dollar has made it less attractive. I think when the thread started it was around R1/$9 ? I've just finished building a gravel bike - but I'm paying US $, not Rands.
Zeffer Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Got my wheels from order to delivery by SAPO to my DOOR = 7 days! But why did I have to pay R1200?Duty of some R600VAT of some R600And the clearance fee of R44 which I believe is standard
JohanDiv Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 My wheels also came this week from Taiwan. R960 for customs clearance. Seller split the costs $350 for wheels and $200 shipping. Customs was just charged on the $350. I was expecting to pay closer to R1500 for customs.
Alouette3 Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 VAT is normal on imports, then a standard handling fee.Duties should not apply to bike parts, but only to complete bikes.
Veebee Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Got my wheels from order to delivery by SAPO to my DOOR = 7 days! But why did I have to pay R1200?Duty of some R600VAT of some R600And the clearance fee of R44 which I believe is standardyeah as mentioned, there shouldn't be any duties on the wheels.Just normal VAT and the clearance fee.
Zeffer Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 So I ordered a helmet from Cicli and it arrived via DHL. They send me an invoice for R1230 duties and tax etc.I phone them and query it - wrongly classified. New invoice is R473. Grrrrrr
Hairy Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Not the best time now to order from China IMG-20200312-WA0005.jpgJokes on them ..... the pace the SA post office works at, one would think they have been shut down for the last few years!
Bos Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I Ordered my frame during Jan and it got here 24th of Feb. I was so happy to see that box! At that stage there were only a number of cases outside of China, but the factory in china didn't go back to work after Chinese New year. There she is.
eddy Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Since my chinese ec90 bars cracked I have not bought anything againWell then it wasn't an EC90 was it. Buying counterfeit is criminal so no sympathy from me.
Mongoose! Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Well then it wasn't an EC90 was it. Buying counterfeit is criminal so no sympathy from me. EC 90 is spelled differently as Easton.
Mongoose! Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Since my chinese ec90 bars cracked I have not bought anything again next buy should be a torque wrench
