Guest coenie Posted January 4, 2011 Share Has anyone else dealt with this surplier in China? Can you tell me if they are 100% Did you get your stuff and how did you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast R Posted January 4, 2011 Share I would pay via paypal, just check shiping as it is expensive, also check lead time, are they selling retail. I did this with another company so I know a bit about this. let me know cause that 29er looks lekker. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coenie Posted January 4, 2011 Share i am also after the 29er, not sure of the lead time. By selling retail do you mean that they will sell 1 or 2 = yes...I wanted to get the HT and some carbon wheels but the shipping is $550 so maybe we could get a hub order together?

Edge_Design Posted January 5, 2011 Share I feel like that 29er frame has popped up with many different brand names on it before on the hub! Pity about the English on their website (or lack thereof!) Edited January 5, 2011 by Edge_Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast R Posted January 5, 2011 Share They are all the same, even the good sites, english sheees not beeg but. I bought frames from another supplier there and the frames shees lekka, and for 3500 its even more lekka. I will be interested if youare placing an order.

Edge_Design Posted January 5, 2011 Share I'm not going to mention names, but if I'm not mistaken, these frames and other parts are available at quite a premium on the hub... That dual sus frame at 1600g (ex. shock) is stupidly light! With a nice DT Swiss on there you have an 1800g frame... If you get a decent order together, I will try to arrange cheaper shipping for you, I normally pay about 50% of the frame cost for shipping (very approximate) so about half what you are talking about (not going to bother my forwarding agent if the order is too small). I don't want any interest in the order other than arranging the people to help so the people involved will need to arrange to split the costs between them based on the value of their order or some other fair method. If you use a freight company rather than courier company which will be much cheaper then you will need a clearing agent locally. If your order is over R20k then you will need an importers permit as well (irrespective of whether it's a courier or freight company) so be careful about how you structure a group order like this. It's not as easy as CRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast R Posted January 5, 2011 Share This could work out well, I have an import permit, If Edge can assist with the shipping we could do well here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngala24 Posted January 5, 2011 Share This could work out well, I have an import permit, If Edge can assist with the shipping we could do well here Its an importers code and i hope you have updated your details with SARS or do so before sometime in Jan (cant remember the date) otherwise you will no longer have your code, they cleaning up there system Edited January 5, 2011 by ngala24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge_Design Posted January 5, 2011 Share This could work out well, I have an import permit, If Edge can assist with the shipping we could do well here My assistance involves getting my forwarders to arrange a quote for freight... At the amount you were quoted, they are probably using a courier company which is insanely expensive. Some of the stuff there looks very nice and they definitely look genuine (especially as I am fairly confident their components are being sold in SA already).

Edge_Design Posted January 5, 2011 Share Its an importers code and i hope you have updated your details with SARS or do so before sometime in Jan (cant remember the date) otherwise you will no longer have your code, they cleaning up there system Thanks for the input... what do you mean by update my details? Is that if you don't import regularly? I import regularly and have never been asked to update anything... That's actually really funny, looks like some more from here have just popped up now in the classifieds!
