I'd rather get A bontrager ION RT 

at x2 the price its NOT x2 the light.

The Giant equivalent is cheaper and similar quality but the Ravemen is a bargain at R1049

I paid about R80 for the same gloves from Light in the Box. I usually buy three items at a time for shipping cost efficiency and have bought from the site on four occasions. Great deals as long as one pays CLOSE attention to the size charts for each item, the user reviews are helpful for sizing as well. Delivery takes a month with standard mail shipping.

How was your experience with Light in a box? shipping time?

About four weeks each time. Customs seem to be a crapshoot, sometimes 45% duties on clothing and my last delivery three weeks ago (three items of winter kit) somehow had no import duties added.

Even with import duties, those gloves are still way less than half than what the OneDayOnly special costs.

Delivery on this side ?  Via "SA Post Office" or a courier ?

When they added duties, I collected at SAPO, happened twice. When no duties were added, once collected at a Pep Store counter and once home delivery by courier. I used Paypal for safety. Each time the parcel arrived within 30 days or less.

Lost way too much in the SAPO system ....

 

I wont knowingly enter into any business agreement that involves them.

Luck o' the draw I guess. Never had a problem with SAPO, even with watch straps and watches. DHL disappointed once with three sizeable boxes of work equipment from the same supplier ending up in three different cities.

Hopefully one of those cities wasnt PE, apparently PE is just a suburb of EL.

I once had a courier that sent a parcel to the PE depot instead of EL ask me why I dont just pop around quick and fetch it from PE??
