Lance Roberts Posted May 8, 2018 Share Hi guys, Has anyone used the above mentioned online shop before?Looking at getting some parts from them and just wanted to see if there have been any negative dealings with them.They seem to use DHL as courier, which is a positive, and their prices are not too bad either.

BikeisLife Posted May 8, 2018 Share I used them but had stuff delivered in Germany. They were quick and easy to deal with. Good prices too. Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro5614 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Just double check if it is DHL courier or DHL Deutsche Post I know Bike24 in Germany uses DHL Deutsche Post. Goes through SAPO and mine usually takes about two weeks from order date to be delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Roberts Posted May 8, 2018 Share Just double check if it is DHL courier or DHL Deutsche Post I know Bike24 in Germany uses DHL Deutsche Post. Goes through SAPO and mine usually takes about two weeks from order date to be delivered.I just checked and it just says "CO2 NEUTRAL, SHIPPING WITH DHL", not sure what that means. I hope it doesn't go a SAPO speed... That could take forever. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/175565-bike-components-experience/?hl=components Thanks for the link, search all over to see if there was already a thread regarding this.

Rapunzel Posted May 14, 2018 Share Carbon neutral is post.... sit back and wait. I use them, but then ship to a German address and then hand carry it here myself.So do you manage to avoid paying mwst (their version of VAT)? How strict are customs when returning to SA from Germany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Posted August 23, 2018 Share I have used them a few times. The first time I used the DHL Paket option and saw my goods get lost for almost three months. The delay was with the SAPO, as usual. I have subsequently used my own courier to collect and airfreight to SA. I usually get my parcel in about 8 days. Bike Components.de is a very professional company offering an excellent service with good pricing. It’s cheaper for me to buy from them, pay their VAT and airfreight to SA than it is to buy locally ( most of the time ). Now that the Rand has gone for a ball of **** one needs to do some homework.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted August 23, 2018 Share I bought my Renthal cockpit through them as their pricing was great.It ended up coming through SAPO and that was not so great. Waited 2 months for my goods.Other than that their service is great, great pricing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondyMig Posted August 23, 2018 Share Yup, I can confirm this too. Avoid it unless you can afford to wait up to two months. The delay is all on our side, the overseas part is fairly efficient. I have used them. It's not courier. It's SAPO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
