Anybody with experience ordering from co's in the UK? They have great deals on cranks, but I don't know whether that will be eliminated with customs and duties/tarriffs. Any info?
yeah, the price w/ shipping includes everything.doesnt the price include all of that? I paid exactly the amount on the receipt nothing more. All i had to do was sign for it at my door.

ive never been charged for overseas transactions on any of my cards...and the dont include capital onebut keep in mind that most credit cards charge a fee for overseas transactions. it's usually about 3%, and it's not that much, but the principle is annoying. capital one is the only credit card that i know of that does not charge this fee.
lucky you. do you use mastercard? i think discover cards don't charge a fee either.ive never been charged for overseas transactions on any of my cards...and the dont include capital one
yeah, all the transactions have been with my mastercards. CR has unreal pricing and as much as id like to support a good ol' boy, American e-tailer, money is money....especially if they have it cheaper than QBP or BTIlucky you. do you use mastercard? i think discover cards don't charge a fee either.
no they aren't. usually 20-40% more than here in germany...i've ordered from chain reaction multiple times, and i highly recommend them. their prices on shimano components are insanely low!
i'm based in the u.s., not europe. saint cranks and rear derailleurs run about 300 u.s. dollars and 185 u.s. dollars respectively at the average u.s. online retailer. you can get them for about 200 u.s. and 122 u.s. at crc. substantial discount.no they aren't. usually 20-40% more than here in germany...
slx cranks crc: ~130eur
here: ~90eur
He's saying Shimano stuff is even cheaper ordering from Germany than the UK, both being less than the US.i'm based in the u.s., not europe. saint cranks and rear derailleurs run about 300 u.s. dollars and 185 u.s. dollars respectively at the average u.s. online retailer. you can get them for about 200 u.s. and 122 u.s. at crc. substantial discount.
i understand. i assumed (maybe i'm wrong) that the op is from the u.s., hence i felt the german comparison to be slightly irrelevant, unless there is a german equivalent to crc where he/she can get things at those prices.He's saying Shimano stuff is even cheaper ordering from Germany than the UK, both being less than the US.
Are you sure you can't come up with a custom wheel build that exceeds $218USD? That's the threshold for free shipping.I am preparing to order some wheels from them.
Even with ₤50 for shipping, still over 150 less than the best online price I could compare to.
these are the most well know shops here and ship also to the us (but check the shipping costs!).i understand. i assumed (maybe i'm wrong) that the op is from the u.s., hence i felt the german comparison to be slightly irrelevant, unless there is a german equivalent to crc where he/she can get things at those prices.
edit: and if such a german site exists, hook us up with the link!
Free shipping by a company thats notorious for very poor international service - Parcel Force - ( in the UK? good! Outside - not so good.)Are you sure you can't come up with a custom wheel build that exceeds $218USD? That's the threshold for free shipping.

I did not get that message when I made my first CRC order 6 or 7 months ago.I recieved this email today. Is it legit? Has anybody else recieved this? It's from a chainreactioncycles.com email address, but otherwise it's not incredibly distinctive.
Bank of America is THE WORST.Hmm....thanks for that. The fax no. matches the one listed on their website, but I'm still not eager to send my liscense or bill or something.
On top of this stupidity, bank of america charged me $20 for the overseas transaction fee. FU guys! I was hoping I'd get away with it, since I have a card with the biggest bank in america....
