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

ozzybmx said:
Inspired me to check the tracking. Also landed and currently travelling somewhere between Melbourne and here.

Possibly the most underwhelming package feeling ever, when I cant ride or even fit the parts.

Was planning a brake bleed but now thinking I probably cant lift the bike into the stand.

Ahhh... while I'm having a sook, I'm staring at my new Insta360 ace pro 2, been sitting there 3 weeks unused, might need to give it a dust soon 🤣

You could start a Vlog!!!
If you are already on high quality opioids for your recovery, it would make for entertaining stream - of - consciousness clips :D

@DougalStrachan and @beeb beat me to it
Helps to read the latest posts

Ordered some spokes from my go-to UK supplier last weekend. Shipped Wed. UK time, now awaiting departure in Langley, which from past experience has at times been the UK equivalent of the Frunkfart black hole. See how long they take to escape this time.......

It seems the Langley black hole is pretty shallow at the moment and stuff is getting through pretty fast! Spokes only spent a couple of days "cleared and waiting departure", before tracking showed them to be here in Aus on Sunday night. Estimated delivery is in the next couple of days, however this is Aus Post we're now dealing with, and we know how that can go...... :rolleyes:
 
Anyone ordered from Bike Inn? I have the confirmation for the order but that’s it. I checked out as a guest. Looks like I need an account to check status.

you could try registering, and it may list the order you just did. not sure if that will work on Bikeinn, but worth a go.

Been a few weeks so went looking for other emails. Will register in a bit and see what it shows. Cheers.

EDIT; I did create an account. Item yet to be dispatched. Only 5 days swear I ordered earlier. 🤣

Come back in 5 weeks and tell us how it's sitting in the Frankfurt black hole.

I've had a couple of orders from BikeInn - updates are not their forte.... They do turn up in a reasonable amount of time.

I have generally had reasonably swift delivery from them, around 2 weeks. But the last parcel from them took months.
 
Slight thread derail, but if you want something interesting that I don't think is available in #StrayaMate
