A few of you have indicated you would want one of these stainless steel tanks... They are US$29.50 each and the shipping looks to be about US$23 so I guess if we order around 10 of them the landed cost per tank should be in the region of US$32... then shipping locally speedmail is around R70 which roughly works out to R400 a pop. Anyone still interested and if you are do you have a preference for the design?

PS if there are any vendors interested in handling this I would be very happy... that way people can order them with other stuff and save on courier fees. :D

Thanks for checking it out @Rob Fisher
Only thing is that R400 is nearly the price of the tank and about the same as 5 glass tank replacements.
I need to get it first and see if i like it before i commit to a stainless steel tank for it

Agreed! That's why I didn't get one originally!
 
Woah... when ordering 10 import duty suddenly gets added too... :confused:

If I am not mistaken customs put a limit on what is considered as personal consumption. Anything above that limit (which is specific to each item) would be considered purchased for the purpose of resale.
 
I don't understand why there should be import duty? We import a lot of electronic components and the only things we are charged for are 1. 14% VAT on invoice value, excluding shipping and 2. clearance fee. Something like a stainless steel tank should fall under parts and hence no import duty. If there was a manufacturer of those specific parts locally in S.A then only would import duty makes sense.
 
I'm so miffed! :mad:

Thanks @TylerD ! I wonder if they won't have the same issue? Maybe I should gte them send to a mate in the UK who can post them to me... thanks a million!
 
Rob, I know you wanted these steel tanks and they were not available locally, so I fully understand why you ordered them.

But this is yet another reminder - perhaps to other folk - why buying local is lekker ;-)

I see the Signature tips guy also make ss tanks for the Kanger tanks. Looks nice!
Just mail them before hand and find out if they ship etc. If not, do it the Friend in uk way round.
