I shopped around. They were at most $15 more than elsewhere for some parts. For the sum total of what I ordered at least, they were cheapest by more than $80 on a $400 order.
if the ACU-thing code still works, why would you not break up a large order (>$300) into several smaller ones & save $10 on each?
who are the new shipping mob?

I still buy occasionally, but its spot buys on sale items. For years, they used to be the cheapest every time, for everything. The locals and the Germans get most of my bike $$$ now.

The Germans are good but if they could get their shipping rate lower they would be even better.

Can't go wrong with robots delivering the parcel, dogs still an issue though.

R; I honestly couldn't be arsed. The simplicity of just going through the order process once, and having one box arrive, was of more worth to me than saving $30 instead of $10.
Yet, I was happy to have 5 browser tabs open searching for everything comparing prices. That kind of hassle I don't mind, for some reason. Even if all the sites I frequent provided API's and some 3rd party wrote a central service that searched for items across them all and provided price comparisons (I'm sure there used to be such a service, ages ago), I'd probably still go and hunt around myself ... untrustworthy of the searching prowess of other software developers, and finding simple enjoyment in just 'checking shit out.'
But ... try and break an order of 15 things into smaller parcels as close to just over $100 each? My brain instantly says "Fk that."
Dunno, I wouldn't do it for more than a few, but the combo of free shipping >$100 and code recycling certainly makes it a possibility.
I ordered a >dozen books from book depository over xmas - each one arrived separately over the next 3 weeks, collecting them from the PO was a PITA.

Know the feeling... Luckily my missus is always about the shopping centre where the PO is, so I dont think about the possible multiple pickups, she grabs them when the cards arrive... so split that baby 3 ways for max discount. Though the package with the most important component in it always arrives last, always.

And I ordered on the 17th, dispatched on the 18th and still not here.
Wasn't expecting a 4 day turn around but 2 weeks is a bit excessive. Has been the longest wait yet.
Not too impressed.
Only a small package too. Frame I ordered over xmas was here in 5 days.

Have you tried tracking your order? You can see what's happening to it.

Only ever said it was in transit. No idea where it was or when it was coming.
Suitably vague. Went from being in transit UK to delivered.
But strangely enough, after posting my complaint here I received and email from customer service at Skynet tracking asking if my parcel had been delivered.
Finally reached destination yesterday apparently, pick up today when PO opens.
That has been the slowest ever from CRC, generally been really happy with their dispatch and delivery system.

Another recommendation NOT TO USE PO BOX when using CRC.
It's a PITA. Toll will not deliver it to Aupost Parcel Lockers, they will redirect it. My package was sent for delivery to Darwin (as it should be) but not delivered to Aupost and now it's back to... ADELAIDE!!!!
I called and it will be sent back to Darwin where I can pick it up from the Depo.
I suppose it should not be as bad if you live close to a major city, but up here in the NT you're SOL.
We'll see how it goes, but needless to say it complicates it for me heaps.
All of this sucks as Parcel Lockers from Aupost work a wonder for us who work long hours. Simple SMS or e-mail, you go there anytime you want, you get your parcel from the locker in seconds.

My latest order to my po box has been scanning as "Arrived hub" twice a day for a week now... Very strange. Still hasn't turned up at the po box!

If the hub is Sunshine West, don't hold your breath.
