Frameskin.com.au don't get caught like I have *use express courier option!

In February I ordered a framskin for my Ibis, and a chain guide. With shipping I think I paid about R1300.

 

It has never arrived, last check was Friday at local Post Offices

 

I asked the guy at Frameskin to please send me ANY sort of number or anything to try and trace it.

He just replied, saying no number and not trackable.. Sorry, cant help.

 

Fair enough. I still thought it would have SOME sort of number to try trace locally at least when it did arrive.

 

I have since been to all the post offices in Pretoria East, namely; Garstfontein, Faeire Glen, and Woodhill (If there is another please let me know) with no luck.

 

After I told the guy listen these things have not arrived, it's been 4 months, surely there is an insurance and we can resend perhaps?

 

Sure he says, and I get this link copied into the email, and told that tracked shipping to SA will be $50 AUD !!!! crazy

anyway I get a '60%' discount to resend, and $50 AUD to ship.

So its not tooooo bad but another R900 odd rand to pay, wtf, total cost being over R2k in the end; a bit steep :-(

I may just try ask for that refund option in a month or two again if nothing shows up.

 

 

So a warning to any hubbers that order from Frameskin.com.au

use the trackable option

 

(If anyone knows where I can go have a 3M skin of sort or wrap put on my bike for a decent price in Pretoria, please let me know..

 

Cheers

I have imported tons over the years, music stuff, guitar stuff, bike stuff, this is the first time from Oz tho, and this happens. bleak

Oz tracked shipping is crazy expensive!

Wanted to buy some stuff from oz but gave it a miss after checking the shipping.

You can confirm the rates on the oz postal site

You selected untracked shipping? Via the SA post office? Are you nuts?

 

I ordered a single chainring from CRC and had it shipped courier even though the courier cost was the same amount as the chainring itself. Why? Because I needed the item and knew I had a good chance of not receiving it via SAPO.

 

If you want it suck the cost and ship it properly.

Ive always shipped tracking, did not have an option on check out. I assumed for $30 shipping it would have a some sort of number.

 

The reason for the thread was to inform others if they order, to be aware, pick the track option. Or ask for it before you place the order.
