Buying from Chain Reaction Cycles

[I FLY]

I am wanting to order some items from Chain Reaction for the 1st time.

 

Which is the best address to use:-

 

My street address or postal?

Postal works better for me personally. Takes around 8 - 10 working days for delivery of a well packaged product.

My CRC orders have always been delivered direct to my door.

 

If there's usually someone at your street address to receive the parcel (along with cash for customs), send it there.

Firstly... are you shipping Royalmail, Parcelforce or UPS?

 

I've had 1 order via Royal Mail (took 5 weeks so I wouln't recommend that option)... but yeah... I sent that to my P.O.Box

 

(If you use a P.O. Box they'll send you a slip in your box, and you'll have to go fecth it from the post office listed.)

 

I usually go with my office's physical address, and the Parcelforce shipping option. This way it is comes to you. They usually phone before hand to let you know what duty/VAT you owe them. but yeah... I like this option. (plus it has a tracking number... something Royal Mail no longer offers)

 

As for UPS... no experience there, but I would imagine to your door delivery is best.

 

So yeah... if you're in the office (or at home) all day... get it shipped to your physical address

[patches]

the only downside about shipping to my office... is that when the goodies arrive, I don't feel very motivated to continue working... I just want to ninja-bomb outta there, rush home and install them

I've used Royal Mail a lot, and never had any issues.

Just use Parcelforce, it's as good as DHL, get's delivered to your door and you can pay the duties via ETF while the guy waits, no problem.
