THIRTEEN (13) days delivery from PERFORMANCE BIKES

Now it's been 13 days since the order was placed. Still no delivery. Customer services says to wait
some more. I suggest no one buy from Performance till they can organize themselves.

 

Aren't you in another country? Can't customs hold things up indefintely?

..but please let me know when you get the stuff, I'm losing sleep.

Don't know if you chose ground shipping, but if you did Performance and Nashbar both will use Parcel
Post shipping if it suits them. I had one shipment take nearly three weeks to arrive this way
because there is no effective time promise for Parcel Post, though they say 10 business days,
weekends do not count.

For Nashbar I only use 2nd day shipping, which as often as not is enough to negate any savings and
I just go to the LBS. I have also given up submitting web orders to either Nashbar or Performance;
their sites do not show real time inventory. I call, it's free.

 

I am anxiously awaiting day 14 as is, I would guess, Mr. Pearlman. Best of luck getting your stuff.

A local bike shop (a good one) can get you bike-parts at competitive prices and you can actually
complain to the owner.

I can hardy wait for the day 14 whine to be splashed across several newsgroups! Grow up! What did
you request for shipping ; what did you pay for? If you didn't ask for/pay for any special
handling, then deal with it. In any respect, save us from further spew across multilple NG's! It
borders on spamming!

No. The domain (schoolname)k12.ca.us is a common one for public schools in California - note,
it's "ca.us"

Unless customs has been set up for La Mesa, California, importation delay is not a likely scenario.

At least we can hit the delete button for this overly-cross-posted garbage.

Nashbar does charge CA sales tax (if they are part of Performance that would explain why - physical
presence in state). Today (13th) I rec'd handlebars I ordered from them last Saturday afternoon.
Very fast del'y, and by USPS at that!

Looked first in several local shops but none had what I wanted and didn't seem interested. Maybe
small orders for parts are just not worth the bother. I have noticed several helpful responses here
from someone in a bike shop. As soon as I see one again I want to make a note of it to see if his
shop is within reasonable reach for me.

Nashbar is the same company as Performance. If one charges sales tax, the other will too.

This is a public sevice message Mr. Cop. What we're saying is don't buy from Performance. You are
not required to open this message and read. mp

No, it's one part Andy Rooney and one part Andy Kaufman. I guess that's how you get to the
Royal "We"...

It might have been a public service message the first day you posted. At this point, it's simply a
ploy to get Performance to do what you want. Since this is a public forum, and not a broadcasting
medium, several posters have pointed out that your complaints agains Performance are based on
questionable assumptions, which you haven't provided a shred of evidence for.

At this point, your posts on the subject are little more than spam. You don't have to open that
either, but you don't like seeing it in your inbox, do you?

Michael, you may think you're performing a public service but it is starting to sound a lot like
whining. Most of us who have been here for a while (some can even recall when it was still just
rec.bicycles) have heard the same tired rants about Performance, Nashbar, Colorado Cyclist, Excel,
etc., etc., etc. Pick your poison. Any business that's been around for any length of time has
dropped the ball a few times. Many of us have done business with Performance and been happy with the
result. Some haven't. Believe it or not you're not the first to complain here about them, just
possibly the most tedious.

No, it is not a public service. It is you masturbating at the key board because you have a
aordon for Performance Bikes. Get over it. Or should we call your mommy and have her kiss your
problem well.

For what it is worth:

Actually I order a lot from Performance. Occasional glitches, but generally good delivery. I'm on
the Team Performance, so I get automatic/free upgrade on shipping to 2nd day, plus 10% off (actually
10% to spend with them, but what the heck).

I also order occasionally from Nashbar. They seem to be a little better on shipping on time
percentage.

Both are well within the bounds of what I expect from internet, low margin suppliers.

Bottom line is, you can't depend on mail order if you absolutely, positively have to have it
overnight (all due respect to a certain express shipper).
