Courier / Postage / Shipping costs

[CogitoErgoSum]

Hi to the experienced

 

I am a novice online shopper - have to out of necessity. Can't find what I need elsewhere

 

What are the costs involved (other than the product) when ordering online? What are the typical cost to have a small order delivered to Pretoria?

 

And BuyCycle's costs?

 

Appreciate everyone's experienced opinion. Thanks

Can range from R75 to R125, usually you can find this in the shipping terms and conditions, or in your checkout basket prior to completing your order. Some offer free shipping if you spend enough in their store.

you should get together with Dewald as he wants to know the same thing https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/133727-importing-parts/

 

See the 2nd post that will give you all the links and info, else browse through the online shopping thread for further info...

Some like CWC will give free shipping if you spend a certain amount, but that tends to be a slippery slope I often fall down

Many places do this. It's a trap.

Ja, I have picked up on the "spend R1000, get free shipping"

 

My concern is for the postage/handling of smaller orders. If something is R450 online vs R580 at the LBS (if they ever have stock!), would online still be the best deal?

 

(P.S wish I could be at Cyclelab Mega's opening on Thursday, but have to work...)
