As a Leeds supporter all I know is that Wiggle and CRC are both n!xamula but Evans cycles lives on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought for about 180 bar, sold for 305 bar. Not bad business. although the numbers are obscured somewhat.

Tried Merlin this time and 3 weeks later I think my package might be at a post office somewhere, so who knows if it still exists. Hi. Did you get your item btw, they used to use DHL in the past?

From the variety of tracking numbers I received (seriously, there were at least three) I managed to figure out it was delivered to the Post Office in the CT CBD (I guessed that was the case as I had not received the typical courier request for customs payment). I waited a couple of days (phoning there goes unanswered) and then showed up with all my tracking numbers. They were very helpful and I managed to get my package and pay the customs. Merlin did indicate that this was them trying a new service provider and that they will default to express options from now on. I'll try them again for things I can't get locally.

Damn, I just bought some stuff and it’s being sent by some parcel company which i assumed was a courier, hopefully doesn’t take too long!
