Your temu orders

As a general rule of thumb on most products expect to pay around 33% in and VAT and Duties.

The one exception to this rule is clothing were depending on the material you could pay up to 45% on duties + VAT.

Has anyone got a detailed invoice from buffalo yet?
Ive requested one several times before and filled in my details, nothing ever came after 5 days. The pro forma does not give any details at all

Did not know that. Thanks.
I'm assuming that cotton incurs higher tariffs? , nearly all my items were cotton

Ok. They give you an itemised list according to SARS classification above that, but not the actual tax per item.
I haven't tried that invoice button yet.

Second order on its way, (still waiting for first one) just under R1700 just paid R230 fees and taxes.
All stuff for woodworking.

So order came. The red lifter screws/bolts is a bit to big to sit flush with the plate. The slot to access the allen head to raise or lower is a bit out. Luckily it is aluminium, so easy to fix. Will build a proof of concept table (to test).

My Makita hand router fits nicely in the lift.

So after takings the pics, the solution will be to drill new holes using my drill press and cutting some threads with tap and die set.

I bought the same plasters. 50 are tiny so really just 50 are usable

Probably designed for Chinese factory workers cutting their fingers on the production line as the sticky part wraps around your finger.

Did a "test" order
Delivered in a little over a week

Got some fishing lures, sizes smaller than expected but as mentioned in this thread, paying close attention to the description will go a long way.

Order value: R 214
Customs: R 51
So I'm going to work on about 25% going forward

Overall, a decent enough first impression

Err WTF??

Got an email & notification a short while ago.



I’m in CT, I didn’t receive schit.

Anyone had “client received” & not actually get their package?

Will be calling these jokers early in the AM to straighten out.

Goodluck, serious.
If you have a reputatable number and someone that actually responds. Please PM the number. I had an issue before and couldn't even get anyone to respond on whatsapp or call.

Same, calling, email form & WA is just a loop. Really bad form.

Will be requesting reshipment.

1000%! Did this now & the process was faaaar better.

Super easy on the site/App + actually able to talk to a human via chat.

Reshipment requested, now we wait (again).

Buffalo is clearly the ANC of the shipping world.

Yeah, there seems to be an issue at Buffalo.
On my order I have one address (the correct one). When tracking on Buffalo, it was a different one, about 30km away. How I actually got my order, I am not sure.
LOL. good luck!
