Wiggle and CRC

[pink poodle]

Well fuck it! I can't find the thread for slagging off Australia Post or the one for slagging of crc...this one will do.


I recently made a purchase from pushy's (6/9). The day after I made 2 purchases for bulky items from CRC. The CRC parcels arrived yesterday...while there is no word on the pushy's order. In the mean time a friend has made a bunch of orders for snow gear and received it all in 4 work days.

It all up the shit !

CRC is courier so its unaffected.

I posted an Express bag on Saturday, it arrived at destination in NSW on Monday morning. Was not expecting that after my BikeBug Express order took nearly a week.

LOL not CRC or Austpost...or Wiggle related... but, I got the tracking number for a package yesterday morning from the US (email arrived at like 4.30am...)... 9.30am the package arrived...that's what I call fast!

Anything listed as going through southwest Sydney for AusPost is fucked ATM.
I am suspecting a bit of the spicy cough going through the processing centre..

Or just less hands on deck to allow for spacing out the team.

Yeah.. dunno about that. Ordered some Sutros from Wiggle 31st August and after exactly zero tracking updates, finally showed up at the PO box today. 22 days delivery - no bueno.

We were talking about this on the 'buying bike parts from overseas' thread.

It kicked off with 500 staff in quarantine. Will no doubt take a while to clear... then likely compounded by lockdowns and Chrissy IN 12 WEEKS

Australia Post to pause parcel pick-up for three days with 500 staff in COVID isolation

Australia Post will not pick up parcels from e-commerce retailers in NSW, Victoria and the ACT for three days beginning this weekend. The organisation has 500 staff in COVID isolation.

ProBikeKit order. Sat in UK from 12th to 20th before “international shipped“. Nothing since. ETA still says delivered by Friday…..not holding my breath.

I better get the Christmas order cooking very soon then Pity even Ze Germans have shit stock levels, even of German made components/parts.

Wanting to order about 6 Vittoria tyres and no one has any.... Surely a company producing tyres cant completely disappear for months.

Yup, supplies of everything are very limited or non existent.

This is all because people aren’t taking those delivery cancelled SMS’s seriously anymore. I know I’ve been getting heaps of them and I haven’t even ordered anything!

 

[EsPeGe]

Yeah, someone in Aus needs to start stocking Hope stuff at similar prices....

Except for their noisy fucking freehubs.

I miss the glory days of CRC, I spent fuckloads on that site back when we didn't have to pay the GST. Thanks Gerry fucking Harvey.

Would Pushys etc have thrived without that though?

Also, I got a set of wheels (not mine) in a week from Wiggle.

And the dollar traded well. And they had stock. And they were comparative with their market. And they had range. Fuck I even purchased snow gear off them. So glorious!

Fuck pushy's...If they want my money they can compete for it like everybody else.

Gerry Harvey cried that shit in on International purchases.

CRC and Wiggle had regular discount codes, stocked the the hilt with cheap Shimano everything, Hope in every colour, tyres cheap as chips, you bought rims, hubs and spokes then they built your wheelset in the warehouse for $1. Warehouses that resembled Willy Wonkas Chocolate room

Pushys and MTBD were nothing, TBSM was one of the few Aus online sellers.

Wiggle bought CRC and the codes dried up, then GST and Geoblocking just about killed them off.
