[#2361190]

I've just palced 3 small orders from 3 online cycle shops, each order has all the parts 'in stock' and is between 1-3 items. All to the same delivery address....

Place your bets!

On One
Merlin
CRC

Who will win?

😀

I got a package from CRC today - a set of rotor bolts in a box big enough to put 20 singletrack mags in 😯 The postage must have been more than the £2.99 I paid for the bolts 😛

Are they all by RM or Couriers? I'm just picturing a postie and two couriers doing a LeMans start at the end of your road tommorrow...

As an aside, I ordered 3 maps from The Map Shop in Upton-on-Severn on Friday afternoon and they were in my post box at 10.00am Saturday. Fantastic service 😀

And it's not even an OE BB! I've never had a BB arrive in a proper box before! 🙂

I had a set of XT brakes from them last week (arrived next day) - I was expecting a big bag of bits and a bottle of brake fluid, but no, all bits (including the caliper brackets) came in nice little boxes!

My Joplin came from CRC in a box roughly 50cm square, got all excited then remembered what I was waiting for!

I would've gone for CRC, but then I don't order much from Merlin. Maybe the rush is why they get it wrong so often...

I had a grease gun turn up in a huge box the other day... god knows why... maybe someone forgot to order the padded bags they used to use??
