So... I three weeks ago I load my brother's bike on the bike carrier... In doing so I remove his CamelBak bottles from his bottle cages and put them down on the ground next to my car... Needless to say - 30km later we unload his MTB and discover the water bottles are "not there". Long story short I reckon - my fault - no worries - let me surprise him with two brand new ones. Easy Peasy... Log onto Buycycle (we are in Pretoria/Jozi) they are close he should have his new bottles by the next weekend's ride. Low and behold they have exactly what he needs (aka I need to buy him)... Click, In Stock, x2, delivery address, pay. Wait for brother's phone call thanking me for the bottles... Friday I casually ask him about the bottles... Nope. Furious, send mail... No Stock Reply. WTF??? The site said: "In Stock"... Long story from BC/BRC... Okay, they offer larger bottles same price to be delivered Wednesday (last week i.e. end of September) in time for 3Towers... Pick my boet up on Thursday, drive to Mankele. Next morning he pulls out those "freebie race goodie bag bottles"... WTF again. No delivery from BC/BRC... Long and short - Since Bruce "Powers" BuyCycle - the service levels has gone down... Anyone else had the same Experience? Or are we just unlucky... Thrice?
