Buke24 are fucked. Years ago I had reverb that was faulty straight out the box. Emailed them with video footage of it getting stuck on return and the guy was all good about it and tails me to send it back. Once I returned it I got a crappy email from some official nameless department saying there was nothing wrong with it but they were going to credit me for it. No replacement. No sending it back (if they really did think it was fine which it wasn’t) no refund - just store credit. Was total bullshit.
EDIT: I should add that I’ve gone out of my way to shop elsewhere since. Including buying an anodised ex511 rim from bike components in September last year.
Replying to myself to keep a record of dates (as the record of online chat has been deleted on the Biggride website). It was supposed to be 5-8 days from the US 17 days ago. Response to requests for updates ignored/not replied to.

Oh. I bought something from Bigride ‘Australia’ last week and still no shipping notification. I sent a request for an update. Nothing.
I hate how overseas sites create an ‘Australian’ store as though they are based here. Bit like EBay where what you think is coming from here is actually being sent from China on a shitty fishing trawler or something.

Thing is, I think BiggRide is actually an AU company. Certainly when I bought a few Syntace things years ago, some came from their location which I think was in Willoughby NSW somehwere and some came from 81 Spices. I think they just don't hold any stock these days and hope the customer deals with it.

Ah yes. You are correct. I think it’s someone else I’m thinking of.

I asked them to refund my order. 2 days later I get a notification that my email was rejected because it was ‘spam’. We’d had correspondence previously from same email so I dunno if their systems just flagged it for some weird reason or he’s somehow pressed a ‘reject email’ button to avoid having to cancel the order.

I sent him an email from a different email demanding my hard earned back. Refund within half hour.

I watched unthinkable the other night. It could have been so much more...and didn't contain anything too unthinkable.

It looks cheap and nasty, like VeloGear.
New PR team: hey, let's change the logo and layout that people know and trust and make it toally new and different so it looks like we've been hacked.
Wiggle Execs: sure, whatevz man.

I 100% for sure thought that had to be a really crappy Meme you posted there. But FFS it's actually their site!
Holy Jesus in a handbasket someone is getting the firing stick off that platform change.

100%. It's fucked. "get your wiggle on" "we're always up for it"
Christ on a fucking bike, all the thought bubbles from a series of heavy Peruvian marching powder sessions made it onto the live site.
