Claudio Posted November 20, 2013 Share There is much debate surrounding the reasons for purchasing a bike online. But are they all justified? I spoke to some of the main players of South Africa's growing online shopping community to find out how they started, why they did so and what some problems they encountered. I also asked about some of the typical concerns that customers would usually worry about, such as after market servicing and grey imports. This is Part 3 with Andrew Backstrom of Dial'd Bikes.Click here to view the article HDW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouxtjie Posted November 20, 2013 Share I am glad dial'd realize that "service" isnt the package arriving the next day at your office...that is the service of the courier company and you pay premium for that...other online shops seem to want to take credit for this...

deanbean Posted November 20, 2013 Share I've only received excellent service from Andrew. If they did more marathon type goods I'd deal with them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeBloke Posted November 20, 2013 Share Really decent equipment and apparel for the DJ, Freeride, DH and Trail scene and they're very fairly priced. I'll always look at Dial'd to see if an item is available from them before I consider ordering anything overseas since their service is top class. I had to send a couple of items back once due to them not being appropriate for my bike and Andrew was really accommodating, even though I'd ordered the items via a friend he just credited my account without any hassle, pretty painless.

El Scorcho Posted November 20, 2013 Share Put this to the test today with a query I had: "It's a toy we are selling here, no matter how old a person gets, you can't wait for a toy. So we respond to mails immediately," Pleased to report that a quick and helpful response was received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
