a little bird told me that some LBS have laid some complaints against CRC with customs....

 

Another birdy told me that some people gets their parcels marked different to the actual content, to pay less duties. Maybe customs picked up on this?

An interesting figure i heard from a reliable source is that CRC as the biggest online bike store turns over estimated ECU120 mil a year with wiggle coming in second at an estimated ECU80 mil a year

How do you get notified if SARS want clearance from you? Do they call you or send you a slip in the post?

 

When you parcel is delayed by a couple days here, best give them a call and check

Don't they open and repack the stuff to see if the markings on the top is what is actually inside ?

 

If not - why would one not "cheat" the system. I think its crazy in anycase that we have to pay so much for imported stuff. Its not like the government is doing anything to make stuff cheaper in SA, or even make SA produced items much cheaper. Look at the food prices!

Mark thanks should have put that in R300 + vat and then whatever vat and duties we paying to customs for you

 

I have heard now of guys in the agents building charging in excess of R800 for a once off

 

Also guys you can only do a formal clearance in your name 3 times a year so if its more than that best you apply for a customs code no as a sole prop.

Who do we contact for customs queries? I have a CRC package that left them on 31 Dec and I have still not gotten it. Parcel Force are not very helpfull with feedback.

If that is the case then that's pretty poor on the shops invloved, whoever they may be.

 

 

 

Surely if people were getting CRC to change their invoice, CRC would be nailed? Surely it's not in CRC's best interest to 'cheat' the system, it's not like they need the customers... They already offer the best prices and customer service smiley2.gif

besides how can CRC lie when the invoice is always in a clear pouch on the outside? CRC doesnt have ?time for stupid games that will bring their business into disrepute.

 

talking about repute: i see the capemail depot has made a habit of lying to recipients: they say u need to go see them because the invoice of the items in the package cant be found. They told me this: i roll up, and guess what? the invoice is right there under ?the lights in it's clear pouch on the outside of the package.

WTF?

Mine was ordered on 27th....  :-(

 

CRC say its at customs, but the Parcelforce website cant confirm delivery in SA. No record of tracking number on SA side.

 

I called 011 961 0639 to check if they had received it on this side, using UK tracking number.

I tried phoning that number several times but it just rings
