Ramrod, how long did shipping take and who do they use?

 

I jumped on 2x 2019 Assos Equipe RS S9 bibs for R2500 each from them last week.

Now I'm worried I was too quick on the trigger. No details on shipping and they're not replying on my email from a few days ago.

Yip that is correct

 

So landed cost will be. R2500 + (40% of R2500 = R1000).  Customs Vat calculated on R2500 plus 10% of R2500 plus R1000 duty = R4312.50 excl shipping and clearing costs...

 

So yes - locally available for R4495...

Oefff.. I was working on the 40% extra and happy to pay R3500 a pair, but didn't take into account that extra 10%. Ah well, learn something new everyday.

Naas, I like how your 10% is about equal to my 25% hehe. Do you mind dropping one of your 10% discounts on the following for me? :D

yeah for sure.

I was looking to get a Kask Vallegro from ciclimattio, but after looking at the prices + vat + shipping + doc fee's, the local price is r100 more from a few LBS's.

My experience is that the extra 10% is only used for VAT calculations, and is not added to the final price.  So, according to my calculations:

 

   Duties: R2500 * 0.4 = R1000

   VAT:     (R2500 + R1000 + R250) * 0.15 = R562.50     (R250 = 10% of R2500)

   Total:   R2500 + R1000 + R562.50 = R4062.5

 

Still not as much of a bargain as it looked to start off with, but may be worthwhile.  You can find a calculator here: https://tradelogistics.co.za/tools/calculators/vat-duty-calculation/

and then if they shipping with DHL/UPS or similar, you still have to pay their documentation fee which is usuall around R350 for clearing the stuff.
