moe_7 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I'm not affiliated with Chain Reaction Cycles in any way. Came across them for the first time while reading some threads on this forum and thought I'd give them a try. Needed a decent set of gloves and ordered a set on Tuesday evening around 10PM. I was flippen amazed when my gloves were delivered on Friday morning - less than 3 days from the UK to my door in SA! Is this the norm for them in terms of delivery?

I therefore guess you chose the delivery via DHL option.So yes with DHL, Mon or Tues ordering and payment normally results in delivery by Friday. If DHL pulls finger. So you up north and round the corner from international arrivals, you are practically guaranteed 3 day service. Down here in the cape, the the DHL finger pulling is worth another 2 to 5 days, depending on their mood and the size of the finger.
Odinson Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I'm planning on using CRC soon. So if that is the delivery time, I'm impressed. How was the import tax / duties on your order?

shaper Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Must have been some fancy gloves to go DHL and pay the 40% duty on clothing
Capricorn Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 good for you Berry: they pulled finger. My experiences have been very mixed with them. And it all came down to sheer laziness. Have endless emails between myself and the bigchief of DHL south africa. But happy for you. clap.
