Might explain why I've been waiting since 23/12 for my parcel! Christmas aside, it's usually much quicker than this.

Yep got me too... U gotta read the fine print... 10% off "January sale" items only.
used to be a fan of crc..
till they fucked their website and changed their free shipping arrangements. now it's pot luck as to whether you wait 4 days for a dhl package or 2 weeks for whatever the other slow shipping is... i've even had a single order shipped in two parts, one came dhl and the other half took 3 weeks!??? wtf.
re the website, i can't even add items to my basket half the time, i've tried safari and firefox on intel mac.. for a business which relies on it's internet traffic i cannot fathom how they haven't fixed these problems.? i have written them a few messages in customer feedback like "why is your new website such a bag of dicks? i can't even buy anything?" so they should be aware of the problem!
currently got an order coming together on merlin cycles, which is actually working out quite a bit cheaper then crc.
will post back re their free ppostage service, you have to spend more but as i'm buying brakes i will be over their free limit.
crc can get fooked, until they have something awesome cheap that i want that is........... ha ha

^ Haha, agreed.
New website is horrible, the range these days is nothing like it used to be, and, outside of a few crazy deals, they aren't even that cheap any more. The only thing that saves it (sometimes) is free shipping.
I've been using Merlin and Wiggle recently. I ordered something from Wiggle on a Monday evening, and I kid you not, it rocked up at my door in Brisbane on Friday morning. That was the free, standard postage. Over the Christmas period. Winning.

As soon as an american retailer works out how to ship cheaply to Australia...
My current dislike for CRC is their lack of reliable product info. So much stuff on the site that I won't touch because it is undefined. They take so long to get back to inquiries that sales end etc and if you gamble on it and the item doesn't match their piss all info you are stuck with some garbage that you don't want. I contacted them about this recently (item received was so different I emailed saying they se t me the wrong thing) and was told i could eat a lemon. We had civil discourse for a few email and their position is I should do research from the whole web as they aren't responsible for product info. I was not happy, said I can't wait til they All loose their jobs andCRC goes out of business.
But that would be bad for competition. They kind of keel each other in check price wise.

Merlin and Wiggle are now far superior to CRC. Definitely not purchasing from CRC any more. While I haven't used them yet (just browsed their website) Mountainbikesdirect seem really good value and are Australian based. Good range of in stock parts too. I would have bought a Wolftooth chainring and bolts from them if I didn't already have a Christmas CRC voucher as they had them in stock and cheaper than anywhere else.

Bike wagon...jenson...good prices until you get to the shipping. I know Merlin and wiggle aren't from the US. They are local right? Wiggle.com.au and all that yeah?
Both UK based.
Not sure why shipping from the US is so damned expensive but I don't touch the US sites.

I can't believe you took that bait...I was sure someone would fall for it.
Yeah the US shipping is nasty. Tried to buy some $9 tyres from jenson last year and it was going to be $80 per tyre delivery! Similar on "team" helmets with my buddies a while ago. $11/helmet seemed reasonable for a day of laughs...$40/helmet delivery killed the fun.
USAebay is filled with shops that with ignore shipping restrictions.
You wouldn't believe how many Fu£€tards there are on Rotorburn. Never assume people aren't stupid, usually they are.

Strange scenario. I'm learning something new here...but you are certainly correct.
