Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

What's 'the score' with Ali Express? Legit or 'grey'?

Color '7', which you selected, is post-mount. Seems flat-mount is sold out.

What makes you think it's PM, looks very FM to me?

Oh fuck, the image shows a flatmount version but the text says postmount. For fucks sake.

And of course they shipped them within an hour, wonder if AliExpress will rule in my favor if PM's show up.

Shit. Sorry! >_<

I should be able to sell them on without losing too much money. 🤞🏼

Anyone received their order of the impact driver (Makita one, detailed up thread)? Anyone claim back? My expected delivery date is tomorrow - not holding my breath.

Nope but I'm also showing as delivering in the next few days. Today is the last day of the expected delivery so I could file for a refund but I'll give it a few more days.

Today is the later date of my estimated arrival and as yet no sign - sure it'll turn up in the coming hours though - erm!!

Can you actually track the item (who is the courier?)

No idea. I just have tracking data to say its with the last mile courier. Whoever that may be. I'm guessing Yodel.

Asics outlet doing some decent (if a bit loud/niche) buy one get one half price - Inc stuff heavily reduced plus free shipping over £50. Got both Mrs and I a pair for £51.50 posted

I've just started the process to file a claim. My shipping says it's due to arrive in Russia ...

Those jackets may smell a little musty after standing in a muddy field in Harrogate for a week but still a bargain .

Wanted one of these for a while, and was fucked if I was paying full price. Nice find, bought, thanks!

Still thinking if I should get one of these... Feedback thus far?

I’ve given it a little shakedown and it was fine, but nothing to really test it yet.

Weather-depending, its first big ride is set for Friday with the full 75km each-way commute from home to London and back. I can report back after that if you like.

Sounds like fun, keen to hear back on how it holds up!

If anyone wants a matching 700c rim for their Arkose dynamo wheel, I've just dismantled mine to stick the hub in something else.
