I agree. Wiggle seem to have more consistently fast postage times nowadays but crc are generally pretty good. I've recently had one package that to 2.5 weeks from crc when other ones have been less than a week. Overall, they are still a bloody good option.

Where does your post state that you know something had been sent?

What have I started. As I said waiting 2 weeks for order now. Would love to have it by next Thursday. The new website is shit. I find I'm 50/50 between CRC & Wiggle as they stock different items. Never had a problem with CRC before.......wait & see
there wasn't a shipping option just standard shipping. TNT took some of my details and searched all items from CRC only item that had left were to poland and thailand. yes contacted CRC prob about 20 times they're giving me nothing just saying to wait until the 15 working days are up. also when i spoke to tnt they said a package of my size shouldn't take more than 5 days

Thanks knucks, sounds like I need it
I have been waiting three weeks for an order so I did a bit of checking. CRC have changed to using TNT for shipping. I used the express checkout with PayPal that has a P.O. Box for an address. (Previous orders from CRC have been mailed to my P.O. Box no problem and I was unaware they changed to TNT.)
CRC are now saying that they have checked and TNT will not deliver to a P.O. Box so I have to wait for it to be returned to CRC so they can issue a refund.
Not happy Jan. I see this as their error.

No PO Boxes!.....that's crap, it makes it difficult to "receive" items from the likes of TNT at a residential address when most peps work mon-fri?
At least DHL pass it onto AusPost for PP Box addresses.....

Ive had very little problems from them. In fact only good things and good service as well.
And as far as postage goes I tend to think if stuff arrives within 3 weeks then its good going, especially considering nearly every time I order from an Australian website it take 1.5 to 2 wks to get here.

Ive been using CRC for maybe 4 years now.
In my experience ive only ever had one issue. A wrong colour Rear mech. I needed it that weekend. They offered my exchange it but i have no time. So they gave sent me some discount codes my way. I was fine with this. This was 2 years ago.
Not sure why, but when ever i buy tyres they are sent separately from my main order and have been Express shipped.
I would receive them within days and my other items not long after.
I have also had a few complete orders sent Express when i did not select it. So i had them within a few days.
Only once have i actually selected express myself. All other times i go with free shipping. And have never waited more then about 10 days. Most are less then a week.
Once i thought the order was taking far too long to arrive, so i called the shipping company (DHL i think) they said it should be at my post office. Turns out it had been there for many days but i missed the slip they put under your door when no one is home.
The new website is shocking. Even with a very fast computer and cable internet it is not like the old one.
My History is gone (4years worth) I only have my last 3 orders this year.
It never saves my settings which i hate (list view, 72 items, A to Z etc) and it never saves my login.
I have used TBSM, Wiggle, Jenson and Universal Cycles in the past. Only because CRC did not have the parts.
Wiggle - Sram Type 2 rear mechs when they were first released.
Jenson - Dt Swiss 240 end caps/ axles. Crc does not sell them.
TBSM - Anything Fox.
Im my experience if CRC is not cheaper then wiggle its only $5-10 more. But Wiggle then would charge me for shipping. So it evens out.
I like to shop around all the 3 big sites have different brands. So there is always a good selection.
No reason to be Fan-Boy and hate on another. Or a hipster and not use CRC.
The problems some ppl have had here do seem quite bad. And some a little stretched in the story telling...
I live just out of Sydney btw.

New site.
IE: 3 minutes to load.
Firefox: Approx 15 seconds.
It has a nice new look, but fark is it slow!!!!!
Edit: After trying to browse around on this new site, I've given up. I think their IT department needs a good speaking to. Time to bust out the backups.

I'm not a fan of the new website either
And all my history being wiped was annoying when I wanted to check the dimensions of a previous item
But I've still ordered from them twice since the new site
The last one arrived last week
I placed the order on a Wednesday arvo
Thursday week a truck pulled up outside my house
Surely it couldn't be my CRC order - but it was
A better outcome than my LBS who said that 'typical Shimano' couldn't get organic pads for my XT's
