awesme Posted February 9, 2017 Share got my package yesterday... originally send 5 December. Was at the SAPO & customs black hole for 3 weeks. Only way I knew it was waiting for me is I checked on shippers tracking which suddenly said attempted delivery, so went looking at post office, no paper work was left in my mail box.

Rust Never Sleeps Posted February 9, 2017 Share My post 2 days back-parcel finally reached me in CT yesterday after despatch by CRC on 18 Jan (via Parcelfreight who link into SA Post Office once here). Seems there is a problem at SA Customs-maybe volumes are increasing due to improved exchange rate . Next time will use DHL option. CRC service excellent and I am happy with order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted February 9, 2017 Share OK so this is seems like the right place to ask my question, and apologies for not reading the whole thread to find a potential answer, but it's long (that's what she said) and I'm a little too busy at the moment (that's what..nevermind). So, let's say a guy called Jeff wants to buy a pair of cycling shoes. They cost R2000 in RSA, and they cost R1000 on CRC. Which option should Jeff choose, and if the answer is CRC, by how much will Jeff be out of pocket at the end of the entire process?My first answer: support local. Second answer - As far as I recall, shoes have a 30% duty, so the calculation (not including shipping) will be R1000 * 1.14 (our VAT) * 1.1 (this is a constant, it'll apply to anything and everything one imports) * 1.3 (import levy for shoes) = R1630.20 ALL IN.

Tony datoy Posted February 11, 2017 Share I'm so fed up with the SAPO I only use DHL Express. Last purchase from CRC was on a Thursday, delivered to my door on Tuesday morning. I'm quite happy to pay the extra cost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikejk Posted February 11, 2017 Share Definitely worth paying DHL Express rates. Ordered from CRC this Monday and accepted delivery 4 days later on Thursday. Tony datoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanick Posted February 17, 2017 Share Is there an email address or contact number where I can lodge a complaint in respect of the customs? This is the second shipment I have brought in relating to cyling nutrition and EVERYTIME I have had problems. The first time only half my product arrived (gels) and now, with my second package, they did not close the nutrition bottle's lid properly and half the product/powder was in the box. What is the use if I bring in stuff if I suffer a loss every time. As well, I have an item classified under the wrong tariff code, obviously the f&@ktard sitting at customs cannot read on the box when it says pressure gauge and classifies it as a foot pump...
