Louzy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Yes really, I didn't. Go back and read the thread. I looked at the suggested sites, suggested by Nick, and was curious about the prices. I asked a question re the prices which you very nicely cleared up for me. I queried prices. If you re look at the thread you'll see that. Honest mistake on your part, it happens. Really??

Guest Smimby Posted May 1, 2014 Share Most people here read it the way Naas said it. Say sorry and move on. EvoBikes is a decent shop and always helpful. You should have read the thread properly before responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted May 1, 2014 Share Louzy, you are the kinda fellow that needs this shop, it is the reason they are still operating after all.https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/137832-cycle-science-in-broadacres-sells-fake-pinarello/page__st__2064 Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 1, 2014 Share Say sorry for giving the OP the incorrect pricing, for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louzy Posted May 1, 2014 Share I'm sorry I gave the incorrect pricing, I looked at the pounds price and multiplied by 17.7 which was the exchange rate yesterday. I went with 60 pounds instead of 59.99... Also, I never gave the OP the prices, I stated what I had worked out, as I'm looking to import brakes myself. I was asking it was cheaper to import adding in all the extra fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then proceeded to argue with Naas when he pointed that out to you. Edited May 1, 2014 by cpt armpies mayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then proceeded to argue with Naas when he pointed that out to you.i am not arguing with Naas, never have and dont think i ever will. its very simple, i looked at this thread as i am looking for brakes for myself and after looking at the links Nick (if you look back on the thread youll see it wasnt me) provided and Naas provided and after working out the Rand/Pound exchange and seeing it was quite a difference i asked what 'exrtras' such as import duties etc should i add to my total to get a true reflection on a total. im looking to go the best option for my pocket as i dont have millions to throw around.Naas pointed out that CRC are selling single as opposed to a whole set, youll see i 'liked' his post as way of saying i see that, thank you.ive looked back at the thread now and i cant see where im 'arguing' with Naas? Has the thread been edited maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used his perfectly good response as a reason not to support his shop, citing "sarcasm" and then further using it as an example as to why you will continue to support international online stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akneethling Posted May 1, 2014 Share There is a 10% customs fee (don't confuse with import duties) and then 14% VAT. Therefore take advertised price x 1.1 x 1.4 + other like shipping and sometimes even an admin fee.Actually that formula woud equal x10% x40% DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_Kooi Posted May 1, 2014 Share I see the mob is attacking Louzy, I interpreted the replies the same way he did though. Last time I imported they calculated vat on 110% of the amount, thus Price + 14% x (Price x 1.1). It comes down to 15.4% on goods purchased. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzPcMzy4WI8 Edited May 1, 2014 by Carbon_Kooi Louzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. But you were still wrong. CRC: R 1,593 per side plus shipping at R 100 and VAT = R 3,792.04 before clearance costs of approx 200. Evo: R 3,250 per SET. do you still say you gave the right price, and compared like for like? MaXiMuM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
