Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 30, 2020 Share Bought it from another Hubber We couriered baby items from Jhb to Cpt but that is seen as essential items.Probably best to wait and see the level 4 regulations, unfortunately.

Vetplant Posted April 30, 2020 Share https://aramex.co.za/aramex-south-africa-latest-operational-update-covid-19/ Last official word from Aramex, two weeks ago. The gazetted regulations published yesterday says very little about courier services. But it will likely say that delivery is permitted, as long as the item falls within the list of items that are allowed to be sold during the lock-down.

Thomo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Still so many "I'd like to buy/collect" followed by nothing but silence.But just go ahead and sell to somebody else, and suddenly you're a terrible seller. LOL Edited May 10, 2020 by Thomo Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I am on the opposite side of things here. I am looking at buying a new bike so I have scoured through the classifieds and found a few that interest me. So, I have sent emails as well as messages to the guys selling but I dont get responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mails and messages are easily missed in daily life and once its down the list it is never seen again. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted May 14, 2020 Share Saw this yesterday on Netwerk24 - a lot of confusing going round.. Untitled courier.png Actualy NO "confusion" .... When reading the FULL Gazette it is clear that only goods that may be bought under that level of lock-down may be sent by courier. We distribute documents via a big courier company. They have taken the responsible (and legal) route, provide us with your essential services documents (show us that your goods may be sold under the current level) and we will distribute it. More and more companies are performing services outside the approved list for the current lock down level ..... I DONT know what items are currently legally sold by bike shops, and why so many other items are cordoned off. The fact that various large bike shops do NOT sell bikes during Level 4 is enough of an indication that the couriers should not be shipping these at this stage. But as said above .... companies are starting to look at their bottom line, and starting to do businness outside of the approved lists. This morning Bokradio went as far as allowing people to post their business details on the radio, including contact details, specifically for businesses that may not be operating under level 4 .... the tide is turning .... people are putting survival above "obedience" .....

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 14, 2020 Share not everyone lists a phone number though Thats where I am different.If the seller couldn't be bothered, or doesn't want to list a number, then it throws up red flags in my eyes.I want to be able to call the person, at the very least communicate via Whatsapp where it is easier to verify identify, if they have the actual item they are selling, etc.......

Grease_Monkey Posted May 14, 2020 Share https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/403923/santa-cruz-chameleon-carbon2020-custom-build Look this is super cool but I recon this might be in the top 5 of hardest bikes to sell right now That's the stuff dreams are made of! The market for that type of bike is very small, the people in that market that can afford that level of build even smaller, and the 1 or 2 that can will probably buy new. I am afraid that bike is gonna sit for a while... Vetplant, Hairy, splat and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
