buying a bike off amazon?

[Mongooser]

was browsing amazon and found you can get brand new 2017 mongoose bootrs for R20600

thats dirt cheap,im tempted to sell both my bikes and get one.has anyone imported bikes from amazon,and what would import duties be around? shipping will be around 2k...https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Mens-BootR-Down-Wheel/dp/B01LW6LU9S/ref=pd_sbs_468_1/145-1951480-2719421?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01M32PGVH&pd_rd_r=94GRFQQNBCPVCE1PMSJW&pd_rd_w=88ZTU&pd_rd_wg=lcJBi&refRID=94GRFQQNBCPVCE1PMSJW&th=1&psc=1 this is the cheapest i'll possibly ever get a full 650b DH bike new right?

is that through the SAPO ?

 

I usually wait 6-8 weeks for stuff from amazon with standard shipping

duties will be 15%, as well as VAT. So your total add on will be 32.7% excl shipping on the ex vat pricing. 

 

Also have to check whether they'll ship here. If not, use something like Aramex Global Shopper and you'll be able to get it.

Aaaand it doesn't ship to SA. So you'll have to use Global Shopper. May be a tad expensive for the shipping...

2.7k to ship with em,it might still work out cheaper than buying a YT?

8k on import duties gee...might have to sell a kidney now

If it goes through SAPO be prepared to wait. Waiting for a frame since 22 June. 11 July checked in at JHB Int Mail Hub and still shows "in transit jhb"

i've sat without a bike for 3 months so waiting doesn't matter to much.
