I ordered 4 pairs of shoes, of which one pair is a bit weird, the rest look all good and sizes true. 3x Shorts are bigger than expected, I'd order a size down next time. 2x shorts fits perfect. 3x shirts all fit nicely. Also ordered a bunch of LED lights for the kitchen that looks good. Toys and balls for the dogs, all good quality, similar or maybe even better than what you'd get at the local vet. Wahoo replacement HR strap. All received in different orders within two weeks. Still waiting for my winter gloves with the finger tips that can fold back to work your phone or fiddle in the back pockets for snacks on the long rides. What duties did you get hit on the clothes? I only did bicycle parts as I know those are duty free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the biggest order I paid R1831 on Temu, and then duties to Buffalo was R528. That specific order was 3 pair of shoes, 3x socks, 5x shorts, 2x bouncing balls for the dogs, and 6x LED lights.

Headshot Posted April 24 Share Just got delivery of my Shimano 5600 bracket covers ( not available here) and an Eroica cycling cap, for fun. Total cost delivered was about R365. The covers say Shimano and appear to be good quality and the correct fit for the levers I have. BuffsVintageBikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel76 Posted April 24 Share Gave it a try... Order arrived today, after ordering on the 9th. Only cycling related item were some gloves... I'm usually a large, so order XL - they're an odd fit. Fingers fit snuggly but the thumbs are quite large? And the left thumb is slightly larger than right... But for R200, I wasn't expecting too much... I'd probably rather spend the extra next time and buy one of the brands I've had previously where I know the size or from a store that I can try on... The rest of items look and work great - Got a wireless speaker, MX socks and googles, USB cable etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted April 24 Share got notification from buffalo to pay duties on my order. Doesnt tell me which item has attracted the duties though. R65 duties on a R300 order. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R65 duties on a R300 order. Sounds about right, that would include 15% VAT on the order amount plus a handling fee from SARS.

Jensie Posted April 24 Share So it looks like you can add 20-25% to your Bill to get the total costs to your door... you have to know your prices as more often they will be same price here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I think I'll only use it for stuff I cant find here easily or at all. Its good to know they deliver and so far the quality seems reasonable.

I can confirm that the brake hoods are good quality and fitted the levers perfectly. They also survived my blunt force fitment procedure without tearing.
