GoBig Posted August 12, 2009 Share Don't worry - this isn't another "How does custom duties work for CRC orders?" thread Would just like to know how long hubbers have waited to get customs clearance on their packages, as mine has been with them for more than a week now. Is this normal? Any way to speed up the process?

santacruz rulz Posted August 12, 2009 Share Phone your post office and check regularly. Sometimes the tracking says it is at Customs and it has already been cleared often with a new local tracking number. Mate of mine waited for over a month only to find it had been at the PO.

GoBig Posted August 12, 2009 Share Thanks - will do that. Do you usually need to collect at the post office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted August 12, 2009 Share You could phone 0860 111 502 or email Ben Blignaut @ blignab@sapo.co.za to find the SAPO tracking number. You give the the Parcelfoce tracking no. Your package could require a clearing agent, or they can't find the invoice (They don't look too hard 'cos there are usually 6 copies in a clear plastic pouch on the outside of the box).

Guest Big H Posted August 12, 2009 Share Parcelforce will only track your package whilst in Great Britain. Once it leaves there is no more British Mail tracking. You will have to phone the number above or contact Ben Blignault to get your RSA tracking number. My last parcel from St John Street Cycles had a unnessecary long stay in a room at my local Post Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBig Posted August 17, 2009 Share As predicted by some of you, the package has been sitting at customs because they "didn't have an invoice". Well, thanks for letting me know then.... Anyway, paid only just over half the SA price for my Mavic Crossmax SLRs so it was worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
