Anyone dealt with Madisound before?
« on: May 06, 2011, 10:36:28 am »
How simple and safe was the ordering process?
Time to delivery?
Import duties and Taxes?

I'm looking at getting my hands on some Fostex full range drivers, unless there is a local supplier or someone on the forum that might be able to help out. :)

Specifically the FE206E or FE166E.

Hi Jaco
1.Their service is great and they are very helpfull on the technical side as well
2.Payment works through paypal
3.They always give a quote for estimated shipping in the invoice (and refund you if the actual cost is less)
4. If the total weight of the order is under about 30 kg they can send the package with expedited post takes about 2 weeks depending on SARS and paperwork being 100% in which case you pay the duty at the post office on collecting it. (14% VAT calculated on (Value inflated by 10%)) Roughly about 25.5%
5 If it's more than 30 kg it has to come by FedEx, This takes about 5-7 working days and the duties are a bit more and is requested by the local FedEx office beforehand.

I have now complaint

Hope this helps
Cheers
Willie

I just received my drivers about 40 minutes ago. The packaging held up, despite obviously being knocked around quite heavily (obviously not Madisound's fault).

From their side it was very quick, the South African Post Office was a little slow, but it was over the Easter weekend.

Only one order, but I will do it again.

Yes, ordered about r15k's worth of stuff. Went missing the first time on the way here. The second time it arrived in about a week by fedex. Very good service.
