Got to be brave spending that much money on Gumtree. Also seriously overpriced considering the MSRP is $199. Yes I know it is out of stock at $199 but stock rolls in every now and then

Yeah crazy. Will wait.
 
If ordering from e.g B&H Photo, what would the total cost be more or less?
200 USD (Shield Pro) + 40 USD (shipping) + customs vat etc.?

I ordered my 2019 Shield Pro from Nvidia store about a week ago - 200 USD
They shipped it for free to AramexGS address in NY.
Aramex will charge about R300 to ship to SA.
Not sure about customs/vat charges.

Seems a bit cheaper than the $40 for shipping ?

This doesn't sound bad at all. Please post here when you know the additional fees.
Is it a USD taxable purchase, and if so how much?
How does Aramex GS work? Never used it before.

USA tax was an extra $17 - forgot to mention it in my post.
Aramex Global Shopper is a mail forwarding company - they charge per weight of package and once the package is in SA they will let you know the amount you need to pay for VAT/customs. Once paid(via their website), they deliver.

Cool thanks. I think I might go your route. I'm guessing another R1k when it gets to ZA, but still works out a bit less than Geewiz and Zeek.

Agree - just be aware that Aramex in NY is far behind on packages due to Covid. My Shield is still with them.

Thanks. Do you have a shipping date yet?
How long has it been with them (Aramex) now?

I just hope they don't treat it as an actual TV regarding customs / tax, due to the word TV in the name.

Been there about 9 days now. Called them yesterday - they are processing packages that arrived on 8/6 atm.

Did you end up getting this?

I'm so keen to buy one but can't find it locally and when you do it's heavily over priced .

Would also like to know if you have received your shield yet, and what the import duties and shipping etc. worked out.

I took the plunge and ordered through Amazon US. Pretty straight forward process but now is the worst part, the wait.
