gummibear Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 New SLX brakeset from CRC074.jpg I was a bit surprised at the packaging, everything loosely packed in plastic bags inside a bubble pack envelope. I thought these came in boxes.075.jpg The rotors were rubbing against each other, slight paint damage.073.jpg072.jpgThe levers also have slight scuff marks. Is this normal for CRC?This is one of the reason I stopped using CRC. I bought a 52t chainring and arrived in bubble wrap and was clearly used[emoji15] Bought shifters that arrived in bubble wrap and was used. I have no issue with them stripping new bikes for parts but selling used goods as new is something else.

Everything I've ever ordered from CWC (which is quite a lot) came in a box with bubble wrap without its original packaging.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 It could also be Customs - opening to look and not wrapping properly afterwards - not coolI'd lean more towards this way - CRC normally package brakes without their boxes in a CRC branded box. Slightly bigger than a normal brake box, but still - a box nonetheless. Plus - they know how stuff can get abused in transit. So they pack accordingly.

I've been offered 10 pounds compensation for the scuffed goods in the form of a voucher which I must use within 3 months.What do hubbers think?I'm just going to accept this and put it down to school fees.
