Yep, and I contacted them via online chat and was told the order number wasn't in their system. I reordered and received the goods a few days later. A few weeks after that the original order arrived. 10 emails later trying to get the items picked up (I felt guilty as I was given a refund) and CRC making me jump through hoops to arrange it I gave up and kept the goods!

So you got double goods for free? Nice!
I once got a Spank Spoon rim as a freebie by accident. I ordered one and two came together (cable tied) so their machine must have though it was one.
I didn't bother saying anything because I figured they owe me something for my illustrious purchase history.

Well well well... got a bit of a rumour from the fatherland (I'm from Northern Ireland), was talking to my brother last night and he made a comment on CRC moving. I asked him what he meant and he explained....
After the Wiggle acquisition of CRC, they are currently streamlining operations, closing down all the Doagh/Ballyclare/Belfast warehouses and relocating all stock to England where the Wiggle warehouses are. So job losses for all employed in NI unless maybe they are moving to mainland to take a new position...
So that would explain delays and random stuff being sent from various locations.

Didn't know... thought I had good inside info there
hwell:I paid for the 2nd order, so I got 2 for the price of one! Dunno what I'm going to do with a 2nd set of Chromag Fubars OSX 35 bars... they are very nice just to look at!

DHL??
I had this problem, among other things, with Wiggle recently. Turned out the item wasn’t in stock and hadn’t been sent, but they sent the postage info to DHL so they could give me a tracking number.

Apparently it arrived in sunshine west this morning. That's the first entry on the tracking, so there must be something up there (normally I can track it the whole way).

Use a forwarding service. It's the only way.
Sram stuff is crazy cheap coming out of Asia on eBay and don't seem to give a fk about the geocache..and yes cheaper than AU trade which crc has lost its massive potency.
Beats my usual online places. Universal, bike24, pro closet, rbp etc. Only stuff I'll buy in AU is raceface and maxxis, kudos to group on their pricing.

Any particular eBay seller you use? Looked for an Eagle XX1 cassette & best fleabay price I could see (Taiwan & Singapore sellers) was only about 10% cheaper than Mountain Bikes Direct - so really just the GST.
