Eppie Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I decided to compose reply number 4000 so here it is a photo of my full set of Shimano 600 Arabesque including wheels on its way from France.Arabe2.jpgArabe1.jpgArabe3.jpgI decided to share this bit of a hiccup with getting these parts from France with you guys. The seller sent me an email today saying that the Etsy Website that he advertised on was not suppose to allow purchasers from South Africa to buy from him, although his advert says "Shipping World wide". The postage that I paid, 30 Euros, apparently only covers the cost for delivery in France and the cost to send the parts to SA is 100 Euros. He now wants me to pay in another 50 Euros. How is that for a shocker.
