King Cycle Indonesia Web Sales

[BrianPivo]

Came across this site recently. Their prices look very low and their range surprisingly wide. I found it strange though that when going through the ordering process, they never once asked for the size...

Needless to say I didn't complete an order but I have emailed them to find out more, hoping that they can revert in English.

Has anyone dealt with this site?

I have tried to attach a screen dump but if that doesn't come through, here's a URL for some Cervelo bikes: http://kingcycle.net/categories.php?category=KING-CYCLE/ROAD/Cervelo.

(Cervelo R3 2010 Frameset sells for USD 1,350, shipping about USD 250, total price after taxes and shipping about R16,000).

Feedback anyone?

That looks like your standard joomla type webstore, I would think twice before giving them money most of the sucessful stores use custom or higher standard web software, looked in their MTB range which was empty so probably a small time operator.

 

So unless you know them by reputation i would not risk it.

... hoping that they can revert in English.....

 

Its Saturday night Gramma-Nazi time:

 

http://dictionary.sensagent.com/revert/en-en/

 

revert (v.)

 

1.undergo reversion, as in a mutation

 

2.go back to a previous state"We reverted to the old rules"

 

3.go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before"return to your native land" "the professor returned to his teaching position after serving as Dean"

 

 

 

So your requesting that he sends you back your email with the same mime data and content that you sent to him.

I have e-mailed a colleague in Indonesia to check this out.

And an Argon18 frameset in the Colnago section.... hmmmmmmmmm.....

Below is the response I received to my enquiry about a Cervelo P3C frameset. Their price including shipping is USD 1,500.

I'll enquire about their source/s and whether the frames are originals or copies although I obviously won't be able to verify if they claim they're originals.

I look forward to feedback from your contacts in Indonesia...

Here are a few more definitions off the web (where we should avoid looking for such references):

 

To revert (third-person singular simple present reverts, present participle reverting, simple past and past participle reverted)

1. To turn back, or to the contrary; to reverse.
   
2. To throw back; to reflect; to reverberate; to get back.
   
3. To change back.
   
4. To return; to come back. (If they attack, we will revert to the bunker.)
   
5. To return to the proprietor after the termination of a particular estate granted by him.
   
6. To return, wholly or in part, towards some preexistent form; to take on the traits or characters of an ancestral type.
   
7. To change back, as from a soluble to an insoluble state or the reverse.

 

Choose a suitable definition or just replace with "reply" if you prefer.

I'd rather stick to getting feedback on the validity/reputability of the Indonesian website.

Does the 10% discount for this month apply to an already reduced price?

Don't hold me to be an authority on that site but, from what I can gather: yes, the price is reduced a further 10% on what you see.

I haven't taken the purchase process any further though.

 

Anyone brave enough to spend R15k and then tell us how it went?

I was contemplating buying a cheap product from them and seeing whether they actually delivered. But their cheapest product was USD 1100. Two questions: what did you try to buy and 2. On what grounds did the credit card company refund you?

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I didn't realise credit card companies got involved in web tansactions. As an aside, do you know if the Card company is taking any action against them? If you do get any more detail please keep us posted.
