Bikeinn

Hi anyone ordered from this bike site? They seem legit, only people who have a part I require.

Bikeinn is huge in EU...absolutely legit

They are 7-10km from where I live, they are very very legit. The size alone for all the sports and everything is incredible

Definitely not SA post 🤣🤣 I ordered AXS derailleurs and some other expensive stuff I wouldn’t have trusted them with 😅

I bought a saddle a month ago from bikeinn . Used dhl . The saddle arrived within a week .The courier and the import duties were the same price as the saddle.

Courier&Import duties will always be a keyfactor. Do your sums well.

They are massive. I have driven passed their warehouse near Girona, Spain. They can take quite a bit of time sometimes to ship but their system is flexible enough to cancel and update your orders up until they actually ship.

Main issue I have with them is that I can't find anything from their website, only from google 😅

Ordered lots of stuff from them, but only when i go overseas and get it delivered to my hotel - Def legit

Won't be using them any time soon.

Although their prices are very competitive, shipping costs are just OTT:

I know it’s off topic but you can order from r2-bike and ask them for DHL Express shipping. Just ordered a whole bunch of stuff and the shipping came to €100. Shipped today - should be here Tuesday. It was a lot of stuff though and was fairly bulky - bars, saddles, tires. You need to put EXPRESS in the comments and then they get back to you with a price etc. 

If you don’t it goes through SAPO when it arrives in the country…

Yoh this is impressive, even more impressive is that I realised after my initial order that I had forgotten one item, I wanted to cancel and re-order but their site allows to add an item to a pending order, I've never seen that anywhere else before.

I really like r2-bike because they are making the effort to weigh the components in-house and present their findings next to the manufacturer's number.

It's essential for you weight-weenies out there 🙂

They also stock a lot of small parts for tuning like coloured titan screws etc..
More bling for your bike...

I had found an item on BikeInn which was very well priced, but I was disturbed by the many 1* posts on Hellopeter, however there was a common thread which seemed to be delivery, by our beloved postal system.

Now i had, many years ago, used TradeInn for some running gear and the only option for shipment was via post and the items took over 2 months to arrive - TradeInn were able to tell me that the parcel had been shipped and had arrive in SA, but then everyone was at a loss...

Anyway back to this experience... Given the compelling offer, I decided to take the plunge - BikeInn now offers both UPS and DHL, for not much more than the vapid SA postal service. I chose DHL, and this is what happened:

- item bought on sunday evening, with eta Friday

- dispatch confirmed by 8:00 on monday morning

- Granular visibility from DHL ensued, i was able to see every minute move from barcelona, to brussels, to london, to johannesburg

- customs clearance was done online and sorted by Tuesday midday

- parcel landed in SA on Wednesday morning, and was delivered by 15:00

this was an absolutely STELLAR service performance in every way. This also in no small way thanks to DHL who have not so much upped their game, as launched it into orbit, and not even earth orbit, more like solar orbit. So in short: anyone wanting to use BikeInn - select the DHL shipping option, and enjoy absolutely STELLAR service! Obviously you will want to bundle products, and this lends itself to items of high value density (my order was R12k, and it cost R650 in shipping and R250 in admin) As my products were manufactured in Europe and were not clothing there were no duties, only 15% VAT.
