Well I wasn't paying close attention when I purchased my new Schwalbe tires and ordered them from Bikeinn. Didn't remember that everything comes on a slow boat from Amsterdam. And then when following up discovered I was really sleeping when I missed the company reviews. Oh well, they'll be here before a flat...I hope! I seldom if ever buy on price alone. I just screwed up.
 
Gossip !

I bought a jersey that had to come over by boat from China...about 3-4 weeks. And then the zipper was on the wrong side for a men’s jersey. Liked the jersey, but not the zipper!
 
No, actually a counterpoint to the posters wailing about a sellers service. Point being "I" bear responsibility for the cock-up. Not the seller. I should have paused and seen that in some cases a majority of the feedback was negative. There are no victims.

I had good experience w BikeInn but that was pre-covid.

I ordered Schwalbes directly from their website last week. Arrived in about 5 days. They were out of stock on alot of items. Testing my new tires today.

I bought rain gear from them and other than slow shipping all was well. But their reviews have plummeted. COVID has indeed created a shipping nightmare.

For sure we are living in the era of the Covid delay. I ordered spare keys from Europe and they took over a month. I ordered tires from Chain reaction and paid extra for the fastest shipping and it still took 2 weeks.

We're getting beat up completely by battery shipping. It's taking as much as a month to get tracking out of China. ARGH!!! Lekkie from NZ comes through China now and can be WEEKS late. Same with parts and motors. COVID sales have doubled, but impatience and anger have quadrupled. Some days I cringe every time the phone rings. Youngsters seem to think we're all Amazon capable...

Yes I know. My Son in law ordered a Giant battery in the Spring, At that time they told him it would be ten weeks (sometime in July). July came and went. Now they tell him sometime in October.

Must be a new unisex jersey with the ladies zipper! 😉
 
I think things are improving.
The last few incidentals ordered from UK and China arrived in the 2 - 3 week time frame.
