Has anyone used bike-discount.de?

[Baracuda]

I have used them for a few things and it all came through fine.

The best is shipping it to a mate in Europe who is coming over. I had clothing shipped to the hotel of a colleague who was in London for a week.

Otherwise, i ordered an XT groupset, paid a bit more for the larny postage, and it came through very quickly

Humm.... now that's tempting. 

 

R5700 for Full eagle GX.... R1200 off the brakes I want.

Just do it.  

The "want" now becomes a "need"

[T-Bob]

Just do it.  

The "want" now becomes a "need"

 

I 'need to stop wanting' or is it 'I want to stop needing'?

 

Just have to look what the costs and duties the brakes will attract vs local. 

[BaltazarMarques]

Yeah, ordered from them a few times and no hassles. 

 

I've just put an order in with Bike-Components and they only charge 19€ DHL but I suspect it's DHL on their side but handed to SAPO this side. Anyone know roughly the turnaround SAPO side? 1 week/2 weeks? Ordered today and hoping to get it before the 3rd August.

Just purchased SLX  7000 from UK for R1700 delivered.  Go figure.

String. 

Could be a very long length at that or at worst, an endless piece with no ending. (My experience)

Hahaha - Would have been an alternative, hopefully gets here before.

 

String. 

This is my worry..

Mmmmm, def worried. Oh well, will just have to hold thumbs. Will perhaps ask if I can upgrade to DHL all the way.

[Rocket-Boy]

String. 

2x the distance from the centre to one of the ends.

I placed a big order with bike-discount in April.  They use DHL Paket, which means it gets handed over to SAPO for delivery on this side.

Took 3 weeks to get here and another week or so to go through customs / SAPO but arrived no issue.

After reading this I am contemplating taking the risk with SAPO........

[Eddy Gordo]

Was about to say 3weeks twice. This is Deutsche Post (DHL) and not the express couriers DHL

DHL is part of Deutsche Post.

bike24, bike-components, bike-discount. all super solid online stores. damn good prices, especially if you time your purchases inline with bi-annual euroland sale season. if i had to split a hair with split-ends, it would be the shipping: no courier service is available to ZA, albeit that once it passes through customs, it does get processed via an expedited path through SAPO. Ive heard about issues with SAPO, but outside of massive delays caused by strikes, I have zero complaints about SAPO despite years of shipping stuff via them.
