not like CRC....

The Northern Monkey

I spent £2 on a single 3mm headset spacer last Sunday and it hasn't arrived... I'm fuming!!! :x :evil:





Hope I get sweets... then i'll feel like i've paid for sweets and got a free spacer, thats a much better deal imo!

Postage sucks at xmas... I should start doing my present shopping I guess.

pah went to get a one piece boxxer mount stem thingy and they can't get it till the back end of feb-what's that all about.....I'd have made my own sweets by then, and eaten them! :roll:

I think the weather may have something to do with it too...

Last Sunday was 3 days ago, give them chance lol

The Northern Monkey

lol I was taking the widdle :P

Christmas post does suck though!

Have you seen how many more workers Royal Mail have hired just for christmas?

what colour spacer you need? i have a few black ones floating around

The Northern Monkey

black lol... needs to be 3mm though! 5mm is 2mm too big

Lots of fog & snow in Belfast and a number of flights have been cancelled. The Royal Mail won't deliver until the pavements are 'safe' to walk on and there is a huge pile of parcels at your local sorting office. Your spacer is in a jiffy bag. Somewhere :P

Hmm, I hope I get my stem in time for the weekend!

I could have paid for quicker delivery I suppose....

I'll have you know, us RM workers this side of the water are still out doing our rounds.... well we are here in Southport, rain or shine... even down to snow we have to make our rounds, oh the joy

done more miles on my RM chopper this past couple of weeks than on my road bike or mtb :shock:

Can I ask then why it is that posties in Stafford over the last two weeks appear to be an endangered species :?

Is it simply that RM H&S policy won't allow post people to walk on icy pavements or is there more to it?

NW Postie

no idea matey, us northerners must be more hardcore

We've had regular post every day down here in the civilised parts of the West Mids.

A couple of Wiggle packages arrived in their normal time even during the height of snowmaggedon.

Yes but the roads by you are clear aren't they as it gets melted very quickly. Everyone know that the sun shines out of Silhillians obvious!!!

CRC took longer than normal to send out a recent order to me, their response to my enquiry email was just to say that they are busier than normal and some orders have been a little delayed being processed... it's not entirely down to the royal mail being slower.

I ordered a bike last weekend from CRC for my brother's birthday. As of right now it is still listed as "processing". Given that the money has already been taken (over a grand) I'm disappointed to have not at least had an email telling me what is going on. I'll give them some slack at the moment, but if you have a backlog you should at least keep your customers informed.

I bought some tyres from CRC last year - still listed as 'processing'.

To be fair, I got them a few days after I ordered, some glitch in the system I suppose.

The Northern Monkey

still waiting

sorry mate, i have 3 5mm spacers.
