Experience with CRC's move from DHL to SkyNet?


Eugene Brown

Recommended Posts

Chain Reaction is no longer a viable option after the move to Skynet. Still waiting for my shoes ordered last year December...Referred them to this thread and they just don't care. I've found Merlin much better.

Ordered a rear cassette from Ribble and couriered through Aramex been waiting 2 weeks now. Cost was very similar if not more.

Got suckered once too after specifically enquiry about delivery options and times first.

Took about six weeks. :(

Agreed on Merlin! They don't have the variety of CRC but UPS shipment is just miles better as the shocking service from Skynet

Is there even any point now from ordering overseas, I see Sram no longer allows deliveries to SA this includes ZIPP and RockShox, now Shimano has joined in, so without these two and the tax you pay on clothing what is the point, we might as well order a bulk tube of KY jelly and let Cool Heat give us a good one

Is this confirmed? No more Shimano imports Merlin?

My clutch cable broke on my Triumph Speed Triple 1050 on Thursday. True to form local dealerships have zero stock. Ordered a cable from Wemoto in the UK on Friday morning via DHL , 30 pounds was the fee, cable was in SA Saturday morning delivered to my house 10am Monday. Now thats frikken service !!!!

 

Ordered a rear cassette from Ribble and couriered through Aramex been waiting 2 weeks now. Cost was very similar if not more.

My last parcels from 2018 till recent that went through Aramex has been pathetically awfully slow and they have absolutely no customer service outside of social media rants. They're so bad, they're nearly on par with SA PO averages. Aramex is dead to me.

 

One word Amazon.

No... Amazon can use whoever they like to deliver parcels - I've had DHL, RAM, rubbish Aramex and another one I cant remember.

I've also ordered motorbike parts once with UPS but it was handed over to SA PO here, so never again.

YES I have had no issues at all with their parcels maybe the courier companies don’t like you and that’s why you get ???? service????

So i just got my customs bill from SkyNet.

was a bit more than i expected to be honest - was banking on paying + - half this.

( i thought there is no customs duty/tax/vat on tools - this was for a feedback sports repair stand.) with this added to the bill it makes saving not that much really.

 

Customs Vat R 556.65
Customs duty R 445.35
Admin Fee R 200.00
AILINE HANDLING R 0.00
Storage fee R 0.00
Vat @ 15% R 30.00
Total : R 1,232.00

its not always cheaper, you just have to do the maths, always add 15% plus R200  and dont ever bring in clothes or helmets
