Overcharging on imported items !

[Dante7 10]

Am i wrong to think that some sellers overcharge for imported goods. I mean really overcharge !

By about 300% ! I saw an digital item listed for R499 and the delivery is another R275(The item was sold in the Asian store for R240). DHL from some Asian stores aint that expensive that they ask that much ! :weird:

I buy a lot from overseas sites & I haven't ever had the option of a courier that cheap.. It's usually between $50 & $80, which works out to more than R275.. I never use international couriers anyway as every single time I have, they've screwed up somewhere.. I can't comment on the mark up, but I guess it depends how badly some-one wants that item. Chances are, it still works out cheaper than buying it in SA..
