Bicyclesource.us

I ordered my Torker LX from bicyclesource.us on May 24th, 2005, and I
got it on May 26, 2005. That took only two days. I payed zippo for
shipping, and the e.t.a was 7-10 days. I guess bicyclesource.us just
isn't very consistent. I enjoyed their business, and I hope you get
your DX soon, zohar.

I just got a torker from bicyclesorce as well. They held it forever
waiting for my paypal to clear, but once that happened it took three
days for UPS to get it from NJ to MI. Good deal on the uni too.

I ordered a torker lx a while back from them and it took a very long
time for delivery- and they are not good about answering emails at all.
In the end I think mine didn't ship until several weeks after I was
supposed to have it...

After two phone calls (straight to voicemail), I've noticed a 48 hr.
plus delay on return. I haven't received any answers to my emails; it's
been a week since my last email. My order was put in almost two weeks
ago, but I haven't received a tracking number, so I'm assuming it hasn't
been sent yet... too bad I didn't see this thread before my order! 🙁

I checked the 'BBB listing for Bicycle Source'
(http://tinyurl.com/c3vgq) and found they've already earned an
"unsatisfactory record". Furthermore, they've even snubbed the BBB's
requests for further information on the company. I guess they just
don't like talking to anyone, be it customers or agencies...

I kick myself twice for not doing any research on these hacks.

Amazingly enough, just minutes after my last phone call, a tracking
number showed up in my email inbox. Phew!

False alarm. The tracking number was generated through genuine UPS
software, and comes directly from the ups.com domain, but the number
itself is bogus: the UPS web site won't accept it!

Good thing these yahoos are on the East Coast, otherwise, I'd be driving
to their HQ with a machete and a bad attitude right about now.

😠

So what's the savings over Unicycle.com if ordering from this company?
Was it worth it?

I, too, am wondering about the logic here. Purchase price is only one
aspect of the total cost of obtaining and maintaining a unicycle.

I just got my tracking number... They sent my package 4 weeks after
purchase!!! ups says shipping will take 3 days. JUNE 3 yippe! I think
they wait for 5 orders then order the unis from torker and then once
they get them they ship thme out! GRR they annoy me.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

The 2005 Torker DX is out of stock at unicycle.com, so it wasn't an
option (I'm leaving the country in a few weeks and want to take it with
me).

Had I been able to purchase it from unicycle.com, I'd pay $50 more on
the sticker price alone, then another $20 or so for shipping. Other
vendors (incl. eBay sellers) offering the DX would've saved me only $20
or so over unicycle.com.

I'd say 25% savings is worth a little headache.

Unicycle.com does the same. You may get a tracking number before the
item ships. The tracking number won't be tracked until a UPS employee
scans it.

So right now you've got a tracking number for a package that hasn't been
scanned by a UPS employee yet. Once it gets scanned it'll be in the
system and you can track it.

Thank you 8-ball, er, great oracle john-san, you are correct, and I am a
hot-head.

I should be receiving my DX in one week... total time from order to
scheduled delivery: 18 days. Not too bad, I guess...

I read this thread soon after ordering my Torker DX from bicyclesource.
I wanted to pay through Paypal, but did not get any contact info to send
the payment to. I tried to call them but never got through to them. This
was all on Monday. On Tuesday I received an email saying that they would
ship as soon as payment was received. They listed the info to send it
to. I also realized that the initial order confirmation email that
requested payment got snagged by my spam filter. I paypaled my payment.
Today is Wednesday and I received a tracking number early this morning.
It's showing up on the UPS system and should be here tomorrow (according
to UPS).

I don't feel that their communication skills are the best, but it looks
like I'm going to get my uni pretty quickly and cheaply.

We'll see...
