Fark! Whatever happened to making descent packaging and using it.Yeah all accounted for.
I got one just before x-mas and the postie told me he taped it up for me as all the shit kept falling out, the whole corner of the box was completely missing and the box was the shape of an AFL ball, looked like it had been rolled from Germany.
Was thinking FFS here goes the boys chrissy pressies... renthal bars, 3 pairs of shorts, 3 jerseys, 2L of sealant, 2 sets of tubeless valves, gear cables, grips, bidons, 3 chains, 6 sets of brake pads and MY STEM - the only bit that was mine. BTW Just checked the invoice for the contents, delivered 20th December.
The complete order was in there much to my surprise
I have had dozens of boxes delivered with small to massive holes in them and have only lost stuff once ever.
2017 ProBikeKit had a big clearance and had the CrankBrothers Pica+ Premium multitools for $32 each (usually $90 here), I bought 4 of them, I was delivered an empty box with a small hole in it... lets say that it took many emails and about 2 months to sort out. They were not pleased at all.
Nice one !Well apparently my Bike24 parcel has arrived in Melbourne from the Frankenpit ... only 14 days there so I may have got lucky. Now the excitement is waiting to see what actually survived the journey inside the box!
Nice! What's inside the box?Out of the blue, my HiBike order just turned up.
Ordered 8-9th Feb, delivered 2nd March so spot on 3 weeks.
Just stuffNice! What's inside the box?
Damn... I've had a few shockers but yours must be well and truly destroyed."The slightly damaged shipment is being repackaged"
Not filling me with confidence guys!!!

If you login or set your country to Australia, the prices are -20% VAT +10% GST, so around 10% cheaper... then only downside is it then tell you they they will not ship Shimano to Australia.For fun I just priced up an 11sp Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain from HiBike, $510 + delivery.

Ah bugger, I thought they were sticking a middle finger up at Shimano! Back to AliExpress for my fantasy drivetrain upgrades!If you login or set your country to Australia, the prices are -20% VAT +10% GST, so around 10% cheaper... then only downside is it then tell you they they will not ship Shimano to Australia.
The German 4 - Hibike, Bike24, Bike Components and Bike Discount used to be awesome before the Geoblock, still my goto shops but the lack of Shimano, RockShox, Sram and others is infuriating.
Bike discount have went Aussie $ and turned to shit lately.
Merlin ship Shimano from the UK... I've heard a few reasons how they are able to do this but still cant understand it as there are others in the exact same situation.Ah bugger, I thought they were sticking a middle finger up at Shimano! Back to AliExpress for my fantasy drivetrain upgrades!
