Merlin are my usual go to if they have the stock and are close on price.....

2 hours for pads, you need to stock up.

Checked online and they said they had stock for 4 pot maguras.
Got there and they didn't.

Ordered a SRAM GX cassette on Wiggle on Sunday afternoon around 4pm. Order confirmation stated delivery would be Thursday this week.

Cassette delivered yesterday, arrived around 1pm, so less than 24 hours

And I had a pack of Haribos thrown in

As in, planetX will be discontinued?

Bloody annoying if so. I only brought one of their dropper posts the other day and can't get hold of any if their service kits. Hope that isn't the reason why...

Going bust it looks like.

British bike brand Planet X set to enter administration, official documents suggest

35-year-old company files notice of intention to appoint administrators as Brexit and post-pandemic downturn continue to bite

So.... stupid question time, but are they the same as BrandX (which I thought was the CR own brand)?

 

[RustyMTB]

No. Brand x are nothing to do with Planet X

Ah, very good (for me)! Long day, but I misread planned X as brandX earlier. I even put it in my reply without realising!

New site isn't as good as the old site but they still have good specials on fancy gear from time to time - I've bought DT Swiss wheels and Fox forks from them at less than half of normal street price. The DT HX1501 rear wheel recently went from the spares pile to the Orbea Rise after I realised how poor the OEM hub was.

Haha pleased it’s not just me who thinks it’s terrible now

ordered so much stuff over the years and now to can’t even check what you previously ordered ffs
unless you downloaded your history. Which was only6 months for me even though I have years and years of orders

And the last thing I ordered has gone missing tbh it’s the first thing that’s ever been lost the delivery guy I know and is excellent but it didn’t get to him haha. Today is 7 days since it went missing so should get replacement sent

Delivery guy I got the other week asked me to take parcel for neighbour as they weren't in and i was standing in my garden. When I looked it was actually for me . So you see how stuff can get lost.

Got a phone call once from a lad in Lossiemouth had my parcel. Same street name and house number but different town about 30 miles away. A complex job a delivery driver you know.

I had a similar experience a few years ago except it was me that was the recipient of the incorrect parcel and I made the call to the mobile number on the label who the delivery was intended for. They asked me to deliver the package to them, and they lived about 40 miles away! When I said no, they tried to make me feel guilty for not being helpful!

I hung on to that package for almost a month, was about to open it out of curiosity and then out of the blue there was a knock at my door and someone came to collect it

Confessions of a Evri driver

Once had a delivery from Amazon that was one stop away then time changed to 9pm from 5pm haha
anyway 6.30 a knock at the door some random woman with a parcel that was my Amazon one said it was deceived there 1 mile away. So thanked her for honesty, 10pm Amazon updated to say delivered at 9pm haha what a farce


Anyway ordered a new tyre from CRC last night so let’s see if normal service is returned
The other parcel still no outcome on that yet. Emailed CRC last night as it’s over 3 days for evri to do their internal search haha what a term, anyway hopefully might get my shock pump by next week just in time not to use it as going to Greece on 15th
what a farce

 

[Tyjay]

Well CRC normal service resumed (for me)

Got a refund on Thursday for my missing shock pump in the form of a gift card. Was offered a normal refund as well
so ordered Same stuff again plus new dhr2 as well after splitting rear on Tuesday
both came today

as Iv said Iv never had any problems personally other that one missing parcel
