nagougrote Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 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.

Thomo Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 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.
wendfan Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Agreed on Merlin! They don't have the variety of CRC but UPS shipment is just miles better as the shocking service from Skynet

Sidmouth Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 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 Dexter-morgan 1

No more Shimano imports Merlin?
Dirkitech Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 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.
Madone69 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Mr CRC item via SkyNet just landed and awaiting customs clearance.

Sidmouth Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 yes, Looks like Merlin still will ship Shimano parts

Madone69 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) 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.

Sidmouth Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 its not always cheaper, you just have to do the maths, always add 15% plus R200 and dont ever bring in clothes or helmets
