Gliders Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Hi All, I am looking at getting a new wheel set from Merlin Cycles in the UK. And was wondering whether anyone had bought anything from them and what you experience was? Thanks!
camerons Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 P.s. - my guess is a wheel set will be very expensive to ship!
carbon29er Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Unless you get over their amount limit and then they pay shipping!
Gliders Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Thanks guys, I priced the wheel set and its about R1500 cheaper unless there a duties on wheel sets that I am not aware of. I Have been working with 14%vat and the shipping charge..
Mike Bike Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 their service is great. their free shipping on orders over 250 pounds is proper courier not post. i ordered a fork, arrived in 4 days, no problems
Dirtbreath Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Just spent 200 squid including £10 shipping and it was only Royal Mail. Tracking says it arrived in Jozi Tuesday. Processed by Merlin last Monday. Not too bad but prob should have spent extra on courier. Will post updste when it arrives.
MTB_Roadie Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) P.s. - my guess is a wheel set will be very expensive to ship! Disagree....if an order is over an certain amount shipping is free....I ordered a wheelset online, the customs was R1700...but I still saved R4000 from normal SA pricing Merlin cycles is the cheapest with their groupsets.

Meezo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Back from the dead.... anyway, awesome special on SLX groupset, full groupo around R4.5k
