Took the most expensive shipping opinion because it was 0.5£ more so lets see. also keen to place another order but just waiting to see hoe the importing tax work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookie Posted December 25, 2022 Share Are we thinking handlebar/pannier bags are going to be classified as “clothing”? I assume so… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaagi Posted December 27, 2022 Share I order from them way to often (my wife will confirm this) and it's the easiest international bike shopping experience. Compared to likes of worldwide cyclery, it's a breeze. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillippe Coetzee Posted January 3, 2023 Share Update from my side, I placed my Order the 23rd of December 11:10Pm and received it today. If you take out all the vacation days etc it comes down to 4 business days which is truly amazing. Used DHL and the 3rd Shipping option because it was the same as the free shipping 😂 (It was 2 Hoops) Edited January 3, 2023 by Phillippe Coetzee Left something out Chadvdw67, Prince Albert Cycles and nonky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peevee Posted January 3, 2023 Share The SARS tariffs are on the Customs & Excise Tariffs doc below split per region of origin under the "Rate of Duty" heading. https://www.sars.gov.za/wp-content/uploads/Legal/SCEA1964/Legal-LPrim-CE-Sch1P1Chpt1-to-99-Schedule-No-1-Part-1-Chapters-1-to-99.pdf Bikes: 8712.00.10 Frames, forks & parts thereof: 8714.91 Wheel rims & spokes: 8714.92 Hubs, brakes, saddles, pedals, crank gear & parts thereof, other: 8714.93-99 Cycling shoes: 6403.19.04 Helmets: 6506.10.90 Clothing: Covered under Chapter 62 from page 409. VAT is calculated at 15% of the Added Tax Value (ATV) ATV = Customs Value (CV = Foreign price x SARS FX rate), plus duty levied, plus 10% of CV VAT = 15% x [((price x FX rate) x (1 +10%)) + Duty] Sometimes the courier adds on a fixed admin fee for settling the VAT & duties on your behalf.

Brawler Posted January 3, 2023 Share On 12/24/2022 at 4:06 PM, Edge_Design said: If it's a larger item then the free "Fedex" shipping actually ends up at SAPO so count on 4 to 6 weeks with a lot of unwanted stress. Small items are normally DHL and delivered 4 to 7 days with the free option. Interesting. I just bought a bike and a spare part (tiny). The shipping price was the same with or without the spare part (120 pounds). The spare part arrived via DHL in 7 days and the bike is somewhere in the Netherlands still by the looks of things with FedEX. The tracking is poor compared to DHL and I hope it isn't this free shipping you speak of as it was expensive. I hope its just the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the "Fedex" service where they just dump the package with the post office - Netherlands PO initially as with mine. Yours is probably sitting with customs in SA where the tracking won't be updated for 4 to 5 weeks and then SAPO will try to find a way to get it to you. In my case they sent it to the wrong post office in Cape Town and then lost it for 10 days while trying to get it the 30km to where it should be. I have suggested to CRC it is ridiculous charging that much to send something via the SAPO - if you have the same experience then please do the same and maybe one day they will listen.

The worst part is you probably had to also pay a R200 admin fee to DHL to do the clearing on the small spare part shipped separately! nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
