my bad....thought it didnt carry this charge.

 

all in all then it works out about the same as what i got quoted locally (no stock though with no eta and not a confirmed price as such)

my goods arrived on Monday...not too bad a service from Skynet i would think.

Does anyone have experience with Bike24.com shipping? Shipping generally seems cheap, which makes me think it goes through the post office.

 

It does end up at the Post Office, however it is quick and they try and deliver the parcel directly to your address. However, they don't inform you they are on the way nor how much customs, VAT etc is due. Usual delivery time around 11 days from date of order

Also had very bad experience with skynet recently, bloody poor communication and general service from employees and managers whom i dealt with and had to escalate matters to.

11 days through post office. How's that even possible?

Skynet sends you a bill for admin(R200) + customs/tax (R???).

Once POP is received by Skynet and funds reflect they issue customs a request for release which take a day or two... and then delivery to you as per normal courier.

 

  i suggest you enquire a bit more....  contact this lady who helped me

Their process is terrible in comparison to Merlin/UPS.

It helps to have good contacts like the one you suggested, but don't expect miracles.

R500+ postage and having to wait a month and longer just isn't on.!

There may be some hope for CRC/Skynet. (particularly if not in a hurry to receive items)

Two weeks from dispatch to delivery using Priority mail option.

Still charged the additional R200 admin fee on this side though. :(

  • 3 weeks later...

seriously - Skynet is useless.

Package been at customs from the 12th, Skynet not doing a damn thing to move it along.

Yet, they have penalty clauses should I not pay within a week after being invoiced....

Not even invoiced yet...

Also order from CRC and unfortunately they are still using Skynet. Unless you constantly phone and email Skynet they do absolutely nothing from their side to move the process along. Order left the UK on the 17th of April, and 12 days later it's still sitting with "customs" according to them.

 

I suggest if you are unlucky enough to have to use Skynet, phone them every single day, and demand a refund of the admin fee if there are delays. I'm at least getting a refund of the admin fee due to their lack of service. But still waiting for my order...

 

And obviously I won't be ordering from CRC unless they change their courier service.

You have to phone them. They won't invoice you unless you get a manager to intervene. At the moment they are blaming their "clearing system".

Why doe CWC not give a F..& though?

 

Mr G , you might find that we are less than 1% of their online orders , so they not really too concerned ......( I have no stats , just guessing ) .
