Buying bike parts from overseas, shipping time estimates and methods ?

[ozzybmx]

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.

Fox geoblocked ?

I am entertaining the thought of either 38 Elites or Zeb ultimates.
Do you know a guy that knows a guy?

You looking for 27.5 ultimates?

Oops, no, brain fade. Prices aren’t great though and factor in shipping and over $1k you will get hit with extra charges unless of course you find a bargain!

Well, it could be your lucky day lol. I’ve been going back and forth between the Fox 38 and my Onyx with Smashpot trying to decide which one to keep and I had just decided to keep the green one (sorry @wkkie )

Phew... was thinking there was another one gone. Not that I'm a Fox fan much these days anyway, still bad for competition and pricing.

Yeah, still cheaper to buy Fox here 99% of the time anyway. Some of the non factory forks on sale are good from overseas on runout.

Like the HiBike 140mm 34 Rhythm's for 240euro

Doesn't sound like a problem for the crowd around here.

Yeah once I clicked through and looked they only have one set of road wheels available so far but presumably that will grow.

First time in a few orders, there is stuff for me in the order... cough actually its nearly all mine

Hasn't moved in a month, typical.

My new shock turned up today! Express DHL beat my innersole/s by a few days lol

 

[ozzybmx]

Top - 2 days for a UPS LordGun order to land in Aus.

Bottom - 35 days for a German DHL via Frankfurt order.

Haven't got any of them yet but they are here.

I have no hand in that, currently waiting on zero DHL packages.

One brewing though

I have more questions than answers now...

Been holding out for the Vittoria (Italy) tyre flood, was hoping Ze Germans will get European stock first.

Though LordGun is Italian and came up with the first Syerra release.

What is this geo-blocking of which you speak ?

Ordered 11 April from UK
Sent via Parcelforce.
Arrived Sydney today.

Was a bit expensive but at least they had stock.
