CraigCCW Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) December last year I was in the market for a new MTB, and was seriously looking at some International online shops namely Jenson & CRC. I was also looking locally at CWC, they had some good specials at the time. In the end I went with a shop where I could physically see the bike, and actually ride it. Anyone purchased a bike via the internet, international or local? Edited August 1, 2014 by CraigCCW

shaper Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 many buy frames online from US, UK and China, as long as you have done your research, know your size and know the import duties and the process of shopping overseas... it is easy!
Flippa Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Two frames, both from the UK. Straightforward experience, if you know exactly what you want.
Bizkit031 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 If it's just a frame what are the duty prices like.
rock Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 my current mtb frame I bought online from US and A. I prefer to not buy complete bikes in any case.
Bizkit031 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 No duties on frames. Complete bikes, yes. So you will just pay Vat.
janfromnam Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 nope all of them from brick & mortar shops. but all upgrades via the web.
shaper Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) So you will just pay Vat.VAT plus handling charges, (15-16% of your invoice) Edited August 1, 2014 by shaper
deanbean Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Bought both my last 2 frames from CRC. Painless.I'd have bought from the US, but postage is ridiculous. Just make sure that you do your homework wrt frame sizes.
Skylark Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 VAT plus handling charges, (15-16% of your invoice) Vat at 15.4% and around R150 customs inspection fee, not sure what handling fee you are referring to?
hayleyearth Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 2 bikes and 1 frame bought online. One from USA, one from Germany and one from CPT. I didn't like the one I got locally though.
