X Fusion fork on ebay

[Josh0]

Hi all

 

So I was crusing on ebay the other day and found one of these:

 

X Fusion Vengeance HLR DLA 140-170mm fork on auction, brand new from reputable Taiwan dealer. Eventually it went for only $455.

 

Considering that the shipping to SA from that dealer is $47, total would have been

$502 which is R5381. Total bargain or not.

 

I am considering to buy one on the next auction. How much do you suppose the taxmaster will shred me on this?

Speak to Hairy, he recently got one locally.

 

WRT tax, you'll pay 14% - 15.4% VAT (maybe a handling fee)

Hi Flowta

 

Cool beanz, hopefully he will see this thread. Thing is, I am bit careful of assuming what the final shipping tax and handling fees will be. Last year I ordered two hooded sweatshirt for me and a friend, from California, total price $45, landed and i had to pay R430 tax and other crap......WTF?

 

Have you imported any parts above say $450? Maybe parts from Taiwan? Were the tax and other fees reasonable?

[PeterF]

On clothing you pay import duties, but not on bicycle parts. On bicycle parts it will only be the 14% vat and a small handling fee as flowta said.

[Brighter-Lights]

Textiles attract a 45% duty + Vat...

 

Only Vat on cycle parts...

Hi Hairy

 

Damn good price you got that fork for! I am specifically looking for a 34mm chassis or more. I would like to have the option of adjustable travel 140mm+ as well.

 

Did you get yours from The Bikeshed?
