How long does the average CRC order take?

[BaGearA]

Going to order through the post, its just a chainring so DHL is going to cost more than the product itself.

 

Just looking for A ballpark 

Thanks.

3 weeks maybe longer, depends on the backlog at Joburg international mail centre/customs.

[Jewbacca]

anywhere from 2 to 3 days to reach Joburg from Northern Ireland... Then anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to get to your nearest PO.

Exactly what shaper said. It all depends on jhb intl mail centre (JIMC), which is pretty much a lottery. I placed a large order with bike discount in Germany. The order was split into two parcels and both were shipped on 27 Dec. The first parcel was checked in at JIMC in SA on 7 Jan, was bagged and forwarded onto the Western Cape on 11 Jan, received at the local mail centre on 12 Jan and I collected from my local post office in Stellenbosch on 16 Jan.

 

The second parcel was checked in at JIMC in SA on 6 Jan (a day earlier than the parcel that I've already collected), was bagged and forwarded onto the Western Cape on 18 Jan. I'm hoping that it's delivered for collection in the next week.

 

A tip. Make sure you choose the tracked mailing option. That way you are given a tracking number that you can use to track your parcel. Choosing the free/non-tracked mailing option pretty much leaves you in the dark with regards your parcel's progress.

item arrived two weeks after using crc free postage and took two weeks using crc paid postage, whenever i ordered anything via DHL it took 2-3 days....

In my experience, if ordered on a Sunday it's in my grubby paws by Thursday

Use the paid shipping option

I don't know abouy CRC and Po, but my order from Wiggle arrived in exactly 7 days after payment was made through the PO

I ordered on the 29th of January and received the package at my local post office on the 17th of January. It took 2 days for my stuff to leave Northern Ireland, arrived at JIMC on the 4th; left JIMC for Durban EMS on the 7th; left for my local post office on the 12th and I got the letter to colect it from my local post-office on the 17th.

I placed my order with CRC on Tuesday morning & chose DHL for delivery.

DHL sent an SMS last night requesting payment, which I did this morning and the parcel arrived at 2:00 this afternoon.

I placed an order at bike24 in the beginning of the month and paid for dhl delivery, the parcel was sent by dhl on the 12th and I still haven't received it. I have tried to track it on the South african dhl site, but it does not show,it does show on the sapo tracking. Why would they take so long and should dhl not deliver it? Why does sapo have it. Any advice.

Bike 24 will take 2weeks and it goes to SAPO yes for some stupid reason.

I bought 2 disk brake rotors off CRC the Monday before Christmas, paid for DHL because even with DHL the 2 were R300 cheaper than I could get locally. They arrived at work the Friday before Christmas (so 4 days from order) and I didn't get charged vat or customes. I always go the DHL route, still works out cheaper generally.
