BaGearA Posted January 21, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted January 21, 2017 Share 3 weeks maybe longer, depends on the backlog at Joburg international mail centre/customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted January 21, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_da_brakes Posted January 21, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreas17777 Posted January 26, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quintonb Posted January 27, 2017 Share 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.
