MariusL Posted July 23, 2010 Share I should be getting my "merchandise" early next week... tracking says it left China last week Wednesday. So my tracking info shows it took a week for my "merchadise" to get from China to Jhb. Let's see how long it takes to get from Jhb to Cpt...

DMC007 Posted July 23, 2010 Share These are the same that specialized sells with coolmax padding. ...at almost 100% profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusL Posted July 23, 2010 Share ...at almost 100% profit. I don't know if he makes quite that much profit... my kit cost +-R750, after being converted by the "blue bank" and of course selling me $$$ at a massive profit for themselves (here's hoping I don't have to pay import duties on top of that).

Please explain how you get to R750. The kit costs +-$55.00 and since $1 = R7.80 that means it should cost you +-R430.00.That price (R430.00) excludes vat, duties, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know when i receive mine, and post a pic so you guys can see the quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squier Posted July 26, 2010 Share Duties on clothing is pretty heavy, as far as I have it. Please let us know what the duties came to. SARS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra300s Posted July 27, 2010 Share Just cleared all up. Collecting my parcel at Cape mail today. Ordered 3 items. @ long sleeve jerseys one cycling short. With shipping R850 went of my credit card. Total import duties and taxes are R475. Which makes the total R1325. So that is R440 per item. I still think that is not bad. Would of been much better without SARS!!!! Ill post about the quality and size later this afternoon. Will collect over lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusL Posted July 27, 2010 Share Duties on clothing is pretty heavy, as far as I have it. Please let us know what the duties came to. SARS... From being in the import industry a few years back, i don't think it will be that excessive. Say $49.99 @ R8 to the USD = R400postage @ $5 = 4045% Customs & Duties = 180Vat @ 14% = 56TOTAL R676 (The price of a CapeStorm bibshort) You only pay customs and VAT on the value of the goods, which excludes the postage costs. Will let you know for sure, when i receive my bill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
