bertusras Posted July 25, 2018 Share So i ordered shoes from CRC. Paid the 6.5 pounds and my parcel got lost. They resent it via Skynet and after paying customs their 45% and 15 % Vat, Skynet have charged me an additional R200 admin fee for clearing the parcel at customs. Which is what everyone in this thread has paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted July 27, 2018 Share I was lucky enough not to get charged R200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Last post 27 Jul, so expecting any vast service improvement is probably a bit optimistic.?CRC website shows DHL and Parcel Force tracking which is somewhat misleading isn't it.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendfan Posted August 23, 2018 Share I'm currently in a battle with both CRC and Skynet. Ordered 27/07 and only one item (£8 press fit kit) was delivered yesterday after huge fight! Seems as someone at Skynet London scored a nice Parktool repair stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FondyMig Posted August 23, 2018 Share I've been buying from Merlin and using their UPS free courier option since 2015, and I never had an issue with this. The best delivery period was 2 days for the goods to be delivered at customs in SA, the average delivery time is 4 days. Track it online and when you know it's here, call UPS in Jhb and ask about the clearance fees. I usually do an EFT and send them confirmation of payment from my bank, and delivery happens the next day. I've had over 20 orders and never had a lost/stolen item, and delivery was always under a week. It can't possibly be worse.Please keep us posted for those trying to decide between CRC & Merlin/Other. stefmeister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
