shaper Posted June 24, 2013 Share Have used it many times for many years, especially on ebay and have never had an issue, even when things have gone missing, have contacted the seller, they usually ask you to wait a little longer and if not arrived by a certain date, will either refund or resend. Have bought many things from China including electronic parts, bike bits and clothes without issue. Always insist on paypal even if the seller suggests otherwise, then you know you are covered. The majority of sellers have paypal accounts anyway. T-Bob, rouxtjie and Meezo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't mind paying the paypal fee since they did tell about this on the invoice and they clearly explained what it is...protects everyone for a small fee.

rouxtjie Posted June 24, 2013 Share brand advertising makes us all slaves.Look if I had the money, I would have loved an s-works stumpy, Niner Air RDO or SC highball, but just cannot afford it. So I am just playing the cards I am dealt. Also making a fun thing out of it ito sourcing components and decals as well as doing your homework on a particular frame or manufacturer.

rouxtjie Posted June 24, 2013 Share Shooo, they've given your tracking number already. Nice. That's super fast.hehehe nope not mine, will never show it to you lot, you might just intercept, this is an example of one they sent earlier the year to give me an idea of how long shipping will take What I like about carbonality is that their first question is what frame, size, BB and finish I want so that they can confirm if they have in stock before continuing...In my case they did have stock and we went ahead. Didn't want to be bum'd that I would have to wait months for my frame but they managed my expectations well by first checking Edited June 24, 2013 by rouxtjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
