Got some maguras 3 or 4.months ago from them. Pretty sure it was under 2 weeks. Was amazed at the speed. I'd use them again

with the floods and the generally shit Auspost sorting bottlenecks, domestic packages can take ages if you don't use express post.
I got some stuff from Bikebug that I think took 3 weeks Syd to Melb going regular parcel post.

That adds them to BikeDiscount.de, R2 and a few other smaller companies prices.
Only HiBike and Bike24 left down around €20.
You'd wonder how long Bike24 will leave theirs down with Wiggle and CRC hiking theirs ages ago.
€40 for shit postage is crap. Would be worth it for DHL Express.
Saying that, my R2 order just came in an ~80cm square box, it was enormous and 90% full of packing for 2 x DT Swiss EX511 rims in their boxes.

Hopefully they all arrive in the box - I've had to stop buying little things from Bike24 since they fall out of their porous packaging!
Agree. The main item I want still works out a lot cheaper but if just grabbing small items it hard to justify the postage cost.
I bought a shock from Germany and have been watching the tracking daily for a week now hoping it would change. I got this email tonight…
At least they picked it up pretty quickly and even better they responded to my request and are sending it express with no extra charge!

Innersole for shoe... hope you got 2 innersoles for shoes.
You ended up better off as express should be here in under a week.

No, max 'awaiting clearance' has never been more than 3 days for me.
Just checked, my latest German package has been sitting in Frankfurt for 4 weeks today. Typical that its got shit for me in there this time.

My first Carbonda frame did that. AusPost were less than helpful other than accidentally letting slip it'd already gone to a local distribution sort facility and then been lost. I waited the requisite number of days to lodge an enquiry (~2 weeks after the estimated maximum delivery date), only to be told to wait another week+ while they investigated. After a little more than a week it got dropped off. No case response/update/communication whatsoever. Not sure if poeple had been in forced iso or they just sick of tripping over it at the warehouse or someone actually did something with the case I lodged. The only communication I ever got was something along the lines of "You haven't complained anymore, so we're going to close this case now. If we're in the wrong, raise another case and we'll start again. There may be a 10-15day delay while we investigate" (again).
TL;DR - raise a case, see what happens. Don't be afraid to call. I got through quite quickly on two separate calls.

My last HiBike order did that. 2 weeks from memory and it arrived at my workplace door whilst still displaying that message on the tracking.
What are you looking for
I am entertaining the thought of either 38 Elites or Zeb ultimates.What are you looking for
Do you know a guy that knows a guy?
Not sure if @kten knows a guy but you will only be able to buy those locally due geo-blocks unless you look at freight forwarders but then the costs can add up quick.
