CRC hidden costs??

[T-girl]

Anyone know if there are any additional charges (besides shipping) that will need to be paid when buying from CRC.com?

 

I'd like to buy some pedals, shoes and bike computer so its not a huge purchase; just don't want to end up paying more than I would if purchased locally!

Hi, be careful of clothing, i purchased a cycling bib for my wife which cost R700 and when it arrived i had to pay an additional R520.

Could have got it a lot cheaper locally.

Factor in at least 40% extra for shoes and clothing.

You will pay the VAT on the order (Caculated on the Rand cost +10%) at and R25.00 customs admin. and shipping depending ion your option. I would not buy shoes unless you are replacing with the exact shoe you are wearing now.

Is it different for non-clothing? Like if I just got the pedals and computer?

clothing, helmets etc attract an import duty. Will also have to pay VAT this side.

Parts are all duty free. Complete bikes, clothing, shoes ,helmets attract various duties.

Surely if I try on a pair of Shimanos here I can get the size correct?

So for pedals and a computer I would just pay VAT and shipping extra?

Yep

[T-girl]

Yep

 

Which would be around 14% of the purchase cost?

[De Vlaamse Leeuw]

make it about 15-16% to be sure

[T-girl]

Thanks for the info

Any idea how long an order takes?
