Roseversand - importing cheaper dynamos

[NC]

Anyone comment on whether Roseversand are decent at fulfilling mail order
from the UK.

Their dynamo prices are significantly cheaper than any UK sources I've
found, eg. B&M bottle dynamo for 30euro and a B&M front stand light for
20euro, against approaching £30 each in the UK.

Roseversand themselves are fine. However, they use DHL who in my case
managed to make my parcel disappear for a couple of months. Eventually, it
made its way back to Rose with a note indicating that a city address was
necessary, even if you didn't live in a city.

Peculiar people.

Exactly the same experience. Not helped by a complete mess up over DHL
Tracking numbers - the ones that Roseversand insisted were correct
according to their local DHL office were not recognised by DHL. First
parcel never arrived. Eventually replaced by a second parcel that
arrived OK. I assume it is a DHL problem but getting Roseversand help
in tracing it beyond giving me a tracking number that was no use proved
a big problem. Nice people when you phone them though.
