Baracuda Posted July 20, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted July 20, 2017 Share 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" Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted July 20, 2017 Share 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. Sepia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltazarMarques Posted July 20, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just purchased SLX 7000 from UK for R1700 delivered. Go figure. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted July 20, 2017 Share String. Could be a very long length at that or at worst, an endless piece with no ending. (My experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltazarMarques Posted July 20, 2017 Share The day I am flying to SA Hahaha - Would have been an alternative, hopefully gets here before. String. This is my worry.. Could be a very long length at that or at worst, an endless piece with no ending. (My experience)Mmmmm, def worried. Oh well, will just have to hold thumbs. Will perhaps ask if I can upgrade to DHL all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnvan Posted July 20, 2017 Share 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.

Capricorn Posted July 20, 2017 Share 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.
