Presumably to arrive from China this week they’ll have to airmail them. What in the heck is that business doing?

Packrafting? Might need something smaller to carry on the bike... :D

But could you then carry the bike on the boat? This definitely needs more thought...

You'd want something like this for pack rafting due to the weight.

There's a thread in this (or a list), I'm sure of it...

How’s the tracking for everyone’s kayak doing? Mine is saying it’ll be delivered by Monday but also hasn’t changed since Monday.

Mine says similar, except it's supposedly been shipped from >100km away from yours, from Guangzhou!

@M_V Plug the tracking into 17track, you’ll most likely get far more detail for origin side.

Yeah that did give a bit more detail.

Not much of substance though, other than that it looks like it’s going to the US rather the UK…hmmmm.

the uk border agency now has this forum under observation as a possible hotbed of cross channel smugglers

mine at least says it's going to be sent via royal mail, and looks like it was air freighted on the 13th?
supposedly arriving by Thursday according to Amazon. exciting isn't it? 😂

Kayak now shows as unavailable. It's really bizarre, I'm guessing it's the Chinese factory trying to get rid of old stock?

looks like the same one is still available, one for £242 on prime from a UK seller, one for £90 (incl 50% off) from a seller in china

I’ve just driven past a nice old looking tandem leaning up against a wall on Bickley Park Road. Looks like it’s looking for a new home.

Kayak update :
“We’re very sorry your delivery is late. If you have not received your package by 21 July, you can come back here the next day for a refund.”
Anyone else had this?
The dream is fading …

Yup that's what mine is saying too now.

Wizard works sample sale this Saturday. Not sure I'll be able to make it up but someone might get a deal or 5.

looks like mine might actually be in the uk!
no update on the royal mail tracking yet though so i won't hold my breath.

mine saying, please wait for 10 days the flight was delayed...actually "Be Patient!" Nope, apparently delivered today "handed directly to the customer"

for fuck sake!

were you able to track yours with royal mail?

@bigshape @Mat-CR @c00ps @M_V

yeeeaaaaaah. Don't think these are coming!

I'll have another look but a bit concerned now it says it's been handed to me today (which it patently hasn't and nothing gets delivered here before 1100)

ha, amazon says delivered to me at my home address the china post tracking says delivered via royal mail to BT25 SPDO

is that with putting the china post tracking number into royal mail track and trace?
i'm guessing that's not your postcode...?

That's putting it into order tracker.com (the first one that comes up on google and seems to recognise the tracking code

ha, not even my country! possibly some sort of sorting office however...but why would it go from England and then to NI? I mean, I think it's dodgy to be honest given their communication and I've just seen a small partial refund and 4am email without any discussion with me, especially as Amazon says delivered to me/my address.

EDIT: It actually says the same on Royal Mail tracking.....could it be that it goes from Heathrow to a Belfast Sorting centre, then on to me in SW England?
