'Tis true..

What I found galling was the fact the darned thing won't be delivered back
to Ciclismo until Friday....

BAH!

Blimey! What service was that exactly? Rip Off Special?

I would have slung out the "Signed for" plan at that point and just relied
on Standard Parcels with proof of postage and compensation cover. That'd
been no more than £15.96 (assuming Ciclismo are in the UK):

There is no 'o' in that word, but there are two 'a's. :-)

The kid's young and fit. Put a spare wheel in (Or use a spare bike) and
get him to deliver the wheel in person. Probably faster and you can be
sure he'd take care of it! Pah... youth of today! ;-)

I sent a mountain bike wheel complete with tyre and hub gears (ie b****y
heavy) with max compensation (£500 I think) for about £13.50.
Posted from my local sub post office at lunch time and it arrived early the
next day.
