The digitiser on my Zumo 550 has failed. I can get a replacement from Hong Kong for $30 (R225). The DHL courier charge is also $30. Expensive but OK. The problem is DHL has a bad reputation for charging a fortune for the customs & VAT administration so the R225 DHL charge may be R700 just for the parasite fees they add for the customs & VAT.
I don't understand why it can't simply be posted to me. I asked a friend whose business has an office in HK if they could buy the thing & post it to me. Some days later they too come back saying DHL is the only practical way. As I say I don't know what the problem is but that is 2 parties who both say DHL is my only option.
Anybody here who can help or advise?
Has anyone had this problem sorted out by Avnic? What did they charge?
Here is the little digitiser:
