Bikeman!!!! I hope you have a direct pipeline to R1Up. I'm counting on you. If your info is false it's going to be worse than when I found out there was no Sants Claus.
How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?
- Thread starter tlippy
- Start date
Many, many people from all different ship dates got a message saying they will ship from the 17th to the 21st. My post apples to anyone who got that notice.
Ordered my Core5 on June 26. Haven't received any notice of mine being shipped yet. I'd love to be in this group of bikes!
Well I wanted to pass on some news that I found which is very disappointing for me, but I have to keep in mind that Covid has messed everything up.
I was told that you get your first notice that your bike order has been complete, That was ride1up had transferred your bike to FedEx. Once FedEx has your bike, they send you a tracking number And a date that you’re supposed to get your bike.
I got my notice that it was out of ride1ups hands and they gave it to FedEx with the tracking number. I have a friend who works at FedEx and he looked up and found that two days after I got that notice, FedEx has not received the bike from ride1up.
I got a notice with a tracking number that says I get my bike tomorrow. Yet, FedEx doesn’t even have my bike yet and I got the tracking number.
I am on the West Coast, ride1up Normally lists me as 1 to 2 day shipping. Yet, I talk to FedEx, they told me because of the Covid situation, it’s about four or five days. So here I am, expecting my bike tomorrow, because that’s what the day ride1up told me, and FedEx hasn’t even got my bike yet. So not only would it not be this week, it may be the middle or end of next week before I get it.
For clarification, I asked FedEx why they would send me a notice that my bike is coming here tomorrow, when they know it’s not going to. They told me that since they don’t even have the bike yet, it was ride1up that sent that notice.
It needs to be said that without COVID-19 pandemic, none of this would be an issue. It is very disappointing that ride1up puts a delivery date of Thursday, knowing that it’s gonna be way later than that, is like I say disappointing that somebody would do that.
I am so glad I found out this situation, that way I don’t have to keep thinking tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, before it comes.
The bottom line is this. When you get a notice that ride1up has processed your bike, that does not mean FedEx has your bike. In fact, days can go by before they get it.
Second, when you get your tracking number, that does not mean that your bike is on the way. FedEx might not even have it yet. So that information is incorrect.
My bike mechanic was busy tomorrow evening and suggested we have a party at midnight at the shop putting it together and the safety inspection right off. I am so glad I found out that FedEx doesn’t even have it yet so I was able to cancel the party sooner.
Just wanted to pass this along in case people were planning anything by the delivery date ride1up sent.

I have gotten the same "misinformation" for some Amazon shipments since Covo. I think some companies send out shipped notices as soon as they
create the label even though the carrier hasn't yet picked up the shipment. It used to work.
The good news is that the "boat is in and unloaded" . Thanks for the heads up!

OK, someone said for me to keep them posted of what happened so I wanted to answer them. It was dropped off this morning and now finally the bike is on its way. My estimated arrival will be Monday. So that will be five days.
Funny, I was dreading having the bike get to my city Friday or Saturday after hours and having it sit there all weekend for a Monday delivery. It’s possible that that will happen but at least it will be here.

I can’t believe it. I woke up this morning to see how much farther my bike got and I have big red exclamation points on my tracking.
It seems that my bike is stuck now because they say the label is unreadable. I am hoping that that does not mean that the package is damaged but the label is unreadable so it’s just sitting there in the same place stuck.

I've thought the same thing. I'm hoping quality control isn't taking a hit with the mad rush...
Oh, man. That sucks! Anything you can do? Contact the carrier?
Man I sure was hoping It could get in early. Wonder if this means it won’t even be here Monday cause I just lost a day.
I guess I could look at it positively. I didn’t want it to get into my city like on a Saturday afternoon and have it sit right here in my city but I can’t get to it until Monday. I guess it’s sitting somewhere I can’t get to it so that’s better.
Would like to drive down and get it but I don’t know what else to do. I guess one thing I can do is drive out to FedEx and ask them.
I am going to do that. I’m taking a drive out to FedEx. I’ll post back what they say. I am not on Facebook and I can see the Facebook ride1 up people are realizing they’re going to get their bikes later but they don’t understand the delay in the label and what the words mean I posted earlier.

I just got back from FedEx. I got everything figured out and my bike journey is continuing.
I think I should apologize for what I did. When I ordered my bike I took pride that I had patients. With the world upside down with Covid, with riots, fires, hurricanes, with all kinds of unrest, I’ll get my bike whenever it gets here. I’ll put it out of my mind and it just gets here whenever it gets here.
I found that I had patients, until it got right down to the last few days I kind of got to excited. I see peoples whole lives Seemed to be wrecked because instead of getting their bike Tuesday they’re going to get it Wednesday. I thought that in the scheme of life, having your bicycle a little bit delayed is really not that big of a deal.
I found myself the last few days doing the same thing. So my bike got delayed a day, in the big scheme of things that really isn’t a big deal. However, that’s stressing me out and it was a big major problem. It really shouldn’t been, but I made it into one.
I wanted to pride myself on patients and yet I let every little thing be some big problem and that’s what I didn’t like when I saw others.
I want to apologize for doing this because it can add more stress to other people if they start looking at their situation the same way.
My bike will get here when it gets here, every little thing is not a huge problem in the whole scheme of life, and I hope everybody else cannot let a bicycle affect their lives but just to put it out of their mind and they get their bikes whenever.

I'm glad you said all that. I,too, thought I could take any glitches in stride. Must be like being on death row. I'm watching beautiful riding weather passing. My new mirror, bell, basket, torque wrench, lock, trailer, front wheel bag, Deore M591deraileur, tie down ratchets, are strewn about my garage waiting for a home.
