Great video!
Super dope video. Keep them coming!!!
Shouldโve included how long it takes to get sneakers here when using StockX
Technically, it is not the โ10% markupโ from Customs. It is actually Customs purposely inflates the FOB price by 10% before Customs charges 15% VAT on the goods imported. Of course, you also need to pay VAT on the Customs Import Duty as well. The sum of these two VATs will be the total Customs Import VAT which an importer will pay on an imported item in SA.
Customs…..what a nightmare! Great vid ๐๐ป
Ncaa video dude, also we have a limit of three imports annually before we gotta get an import license right? Correct me if I'm wrong. I copped some gel diablos and decon jordan 2s from stock x so I've been saving my 3rd purchase.
Thanks
I think you left out the 10% mark up in the recap calculation. R1300 + R100 + R210 + R120 = R1730
Or just get some one to bring it in the country for you ๐ hahahahaha. Mind you when I go to SA I'm always bringing kicks to my friends ๐
Theyโve charged me R3500
where exacTLY in SA are the shoes going to be delivered after buying them on stockX. ?
Thank you soo much bruv๐๐พ
Lets just move to another country where we wont get taxed to death.
The animation was very well done. It really explains everything in a concise way. Thank you for the video it helps a lot with planning for unexpected costs.
He starts at 1:51
I love sneakers and because I work on a cruise ship itโs always cheaper for me to buy it in the UK or USA so I been sitting with 20 pairs some of it I usually give away after 6months when you buy directly you pay cheaper
So do you work out the costs on the original price of the shoe ? Or do you have to work it out on the resell value thatโs on stock X
Much appreciated – purchased 1st pair of Jordan 1 Chicago 2020โs on their way, bought week ago.
what are the customs charges in SA at the moment for a shoe from stockx?
What kinda sneakers are you getting for under $60 though๐ค
Great video. 2 questions.
How long does it take to receive your shoes after purchasing it? I'm based in Cape Town.
Will it only be the courier I engage with and do I need to make contact with them or wait for them make contact with me.
๐
I ๐charge R400๐ for shipping and handling ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐๐
What about shipping costs?
So how would you calculate it if you buying more than one pair?
will it cost the same if you buy from goat?
Is customs charged on the retail price or the resell price Iโm buying at ?
Thank you so much! This explains so much, THANK YOOOOOOU!!
I ordered from Nike.com to SA and they only charged me R250. It says the customs and tax price is included in the price.
really needed this ๐๐พ
How long does it take to deliver to your door
Just don't understand how nike sa do not stock 3xl
On the stockx app they have a processing fee of 4.95USD and shipping fee of 40USD.. are these excluding the other charges that you mentioned? Also when doing the calculations do I use the price I pay for the shoe excluding the shipping and processing fee or not?
Good day sir, can you please tell if they use the actual face value of the sneaker or do they calculate it at the resale value you bought it at? Would really appreciate your help on this q
Just bought Jordans on goat customers are expensive
Meanwhile my Australian friends are paying $0 for customs on 20k shoes
bought clothing for R3700 incl shipping of 30eur, paid R2400 for customs and vat.. was extremely shocked at the amount
I wanted to ask when you buy the shoe where do you find out how much the shoe is with the tariff and vat expenses? Never bought from StockX.
I'm trying to buy a pair of shoes from stockx. So I add my card payment method. Does it deduct all those fees automatically from my bank account?
Will those still apply even if I ship used sneakers from GOAT?
I bought the Jordan 1 bred last week, shipping was R788 which sucked. When the item arrived in JHB and I was charged R1 580 for duties/ taxes. My costs went from R3800 including shipping to around R5400, lol drip is forever but nah fam. I'm not importing shoes anytime soon, that's for sure.
Disgusting!
Does this apply to worn sneakers?
Hey๐๐ฝโโ๐๐ฝโโ๐๐ฝโโ๐๐ฝโโ๐๐ฝโโ guys, why is the sneakers especially the Jordans in South Africa are so much cheap comparing to the prices in USA and UK?
Somebody please help me here coz look at the Jordan 1Retro is just R1499 & the 4 retro off white is also R1699. What is going on?
If you buy something on sale, do they calculate the tariff on the price you pay or the full value of the item?
South Africa is a fucking joke
So sad dam i ask my friends to bring me shoes from the STATES and the UK to avoid all these fees.
