Firstshop is very slow in their logistics/shipping it seems.
Bought a Asus laptop from them end of last year and it took at least a week from purchase to delivery.

Buggers... this after they claimed over the phone that the price was right.
1k for free isn't bad though. Hopefully the 2-3 days to process the refund is legit.

Not the first time this happened with them. Ordered a couple of things from them the past few years and exactly the same response re the stock error a few days after the order and payment. Also after confirming price and stock availability with them before placing the order. Haven't touched them again.
 
Decent discount, got pair for wife and she is happy.
 
I am always afraid of import duties.
Amazon shows you those, like cavedog said, landed cost is about 3.8k, incl shipping and import duties:

Nope, DHL sorts it all out.

You're paying $50 for customs/shipping. It's really not cheap. How much more do you want to pay?
 
Yes Amazon Global Shipping and Pitney Bowes (Ebay Global Shipping) leave no surprises. Amazon even refunds the balance should SARS take less. Of course this no longer happens as SARS takes everything.
