I've crunched the numbers and that's really not such a great deal

I think he will tell me that if I really was on it, I would have checked the newsletter before it went out :whistling: ...or at least that's what I tell myself.

But I'll take any good feedback I can get to restore my ego... :blush:

One of the major reasons I don't support online retailers is that generally one doesn't get a feel for the people behind the retailer. I think I cannot say that of buycycle.co.za. I have seen a thread or two in which Christian has dealt openly and honestly with hubbers and now you in this thread. And to be honest I think this thread was definitely more having a laugh at a honest mistake than outright criticism. Besides it's the Bikehub, some stuff just need to get taken with a large dose of salt.

 

If it's any consolation should I ever feel the need to use an online retailer, you guys would be the first stop.

I get it, online shopping does lack the personal touch that a LBS has. I love my job, I love people...interacting here is very important to me cause I want you guys to see that.

Thanks for the pep talk :) will look out for your order ;)

Oh-uh, you just posted your email address online. You might want to edit that and suggest someone rather sends you a PM!

 

Even though it's the bikehub, it's still the internet... Save your email address for verifiable contacts!

Flogging oneself died out with Martin Luther. :whistling:

 

Happy if I made you feel a bit better about the situation. Know how stressful a service industry is having worked in a cafe when I was a student.

 

Sadly I won't be making any bike related purchases this month. Got a family weekend away as a birthday gift and will most likely be up in Saldahna to start another 4 month contract. So perhaps after that I might have a look.

 

Perhaps also edit your post to remove your email address. If I need it in the future I'll send you a pm.
