eddy Posted April 26, 2019 Share and this is why i buy internationally... I "could" buy, courier, pay VAT & handling fees and get what I want at XT level from CRC at 15% less than the SALE SLX parts as advertised in the CWC site. But unfortunately, they won't ship Shimano to South Africa anymore. T-Bob, Meezo and Hairy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted April 26, 2019 Share So yesterday the s-track pedals were R749 on sale with a RRP of about R1100 if memory serves me correct...a saving of X amount... Today, same said pedals are R899 with a RRP of R1499 Someones ripping someone a new one. That was only one of the things I noticed, lemme see if I can grab a screenshot of the cached webpage and show what Im talking about. Seems the days of CWC honesty and proper sales are long gone with the new sharks on board. The only thing left to play is bowls until until that gets bought by cycle lab and they wanna sell you fancy white shoes i've been keeping an eye on strack prices for a while and 750 ain't bad when I saw the "sale" flyer i jumped and got two sets at the sale price of 750 (alhtough the flyer shows the race version) and got my screenshot in. wonder if CWC/Cyclelab falls under ASA as I see ondayonly got a pakslae the other day for false advertising ChUkKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted April 26, 2019 Share The price on the box is 899 so it's not really a "sale" I highly doubt that a retailer will change price stickers every time something goes on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisismyotherbike Posted April 26, 2019 Share CWC does actually, seen it a few times on ridiculously discounted items The price on the box is 899 so it's not really a "sale"I highly doubt that a retailer will change price stickers every time something goes on sale.

slickjay007 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Didn't One Day Only just kop a massive fine for inflating the stated savings on an 'offer' last week? I think it was actually takealot.com. Their CEO publicly apologized and a letter was circulated. It was over the "Black Friday" specials. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/takealot-denies-that-it-bumped-up-prices-before-black-friday-2018-11 T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find what you want and add it to 'wish list'. swap the location back to SA then move the Shimano / Sram / whatever from 'wish list' to your basket, pay for it and boom they deliver here.

Squier Posted April 26, 2019 Share The price on the box is 899 so it's not really a "sale" I highly doubt that a retailer will change price stickers every time something goes on sale. That still seems rather expensive for old stock of a discontinued product. ChUkKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search this forum and you will find the same "issue" with each and every sale. I have also reported similar price discrepancies with previous sales.

JohanDiv Posted April 26, 2019 Share Am I mistakenly thinking that the Wahoo Kickr 4 plus HR monitor for R16999 is a great deal? I've been looking for a while and can't find a Kickr 4 anywhere for less than R19999. Gat jeuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
