    i've only just had time to box them up today, i'll post them tomorrow and see what happens, they've said that they'll swap them so fingers crossed.

    they haven't made it easy though as everything else is in a few different languages - i understand english and spanish - but the returns form is german only :lol:

    Just looking at the advert - if the gist of your complaint is that the steerer tube is steel rather than aluminium . . . .
      Gabelschaft:
    • Stahl
    • 265mm ungekürzte Länge

    . . . this means, Steerer tube, steel, 265mm uncut length. It also says
    • Ausfallenden: 9mm (Schnellspanner)

    which means, 9mm Q/R. So you might not be able to claim that you haven't got what it says in the advert

    they've changed the advert and the price since i bought them, i have my original email confirmation that says i have ordered them with a 15mm maxle and an aluminium steerer

    EDIT: yeah, the original link goes to the forks i have recieved, but it didn't originally it went to these ones:

    All becomes clear now. In that case, I'd say you're on fairly solid ground!

    I ended up paying £49 at the post office. Just had an email confirming dispatch of the maxle version so will see what turns up.

    No mention of repaying postage though so will call up tomorrow.

    WHAT!!! :shock: :shock:

    I couriered a 2.5kg parcel to Germany last month for £18 (48 hour delivery) - I can only hope they repay the postage for you as that is a crazy amount to pay out!

    yeah £51 i was quoted at the post office and £33 by parcel force.

    but due to various reasons it looks like i'll be keeping th eone's that were sent to me. i know they're not as good as the one's ordered but like i said other factors have caused me to think about keeping them :?

    Fair enough, but you have rights to what you were sold, you were given the wrong product, in which case you are completely within your rights that they are replaced with the correct product at their expense, otherwise you could seriously consider taking legal action

    Just had an email saying that the £49 postage has been repaid. Hopefully the right ones turn up this time!

    The correct forks arrived today. Despite the hassle its been worth it as they're a bargain at £222 delivered (twice).

    excellent service and you can forgive the initial error when stuff like this happens.
