butafly Posted February 23, 2010 Share sent my polar hrm and strap to polar service centre for a battery change and service. this was the 2nd time i would send it away and confirmed with polar that speed services - counter to counter - via the post office is the prefered way of sending the parcel. the hrm never arrived. i have the P.O investigating but have made peace with myself that its been stolen.has anyone else had this experience?

Thug Posted February 23, 2010 Share I've had some electronic stuff posted by my brother in the UK with a value of around R1.6k disappear. I'm currently waiting for some other electronic stuff posted from the States, been two weeks already........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butafly Posted February 23, 2010 Share what irritates me the most is that polar sc recommends this mode of delivery. the 1st time i used the counter to counter services there wasn't a problem. i know it sounds naive but to me counter to counter sounds as if there is no human intervention in the process, so how can the item be "stolen" (i should of known better). can't wait for the outcome of the "investigation".

Mavro Posted February 23, 2010 Share Did you insure the parcel? Whenever i use the P.O, i always take out insurance. You pay a little more, but at least you are covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted February 23, 2010 Share Why not just get a trusted watchmaker to change the battery? I know Polar "recommend" that they be allowed to do everything all the time, but once I've paid for the sucker it's mine. Chest strap and sensor batteries I change myself, and a watchmaker gets the gig of replacing HRM batteries when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above, if it has a significant value : insure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted February 23, 2010 Share I just go word from Sportman's Warehouse that my speed sensor is back from Polar and that handling fee is R50. If I send it in myself it would have been more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What strap are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
