Weird, I saw that ad when it was listed and then went back to look for the listing and it wasn't there.

Yes, some of the Bauer stuff was great and for 60bucks that is a great deal but I would bet that it is gone by now. A 62cm bike is too big for me, darnit.

I thought the same thing. That's what happens when you read too many magazines before you get into cycling. Somebody should email him and offer to sell him a powertap

I think he is a shop, but not 100%.

Anyone else get the MEC credit note email? I have lost my info & was wondering if it’s worth a call to them?
Cheers

What's a MEC credit note email?

I did get a dividend from them at the end of last year... which was nice 'cause I was unemployed at the time Wohoo 92 bucks. Then I realized how much I must have spent to get $92 back.

This credit note contains information about patronage dividends allocated to you. Your patronage dividend is the surplus that MEC has returned to you, in proportion to the amount of money you spent at MEC in the year(s) indicated. In turn, as per MEC Rules, your patronage dividend has been applied to the purchase of additional shares in the Co-op.

I guess i have 28.05 more of whatever in 2005.

Dividend? Credit Note? 'Splain Lucy, 'Splain.

you guys is krazy.

ps. how conditioned and I by Starbucks' marketing that all I have to see is half a green straw and I'm craving a $5 drink? And I only go there a few times a year! I'm going to chalk it up to the fact that it's first thing in the morning, I'm craving some good coffee and I'm half way through a lovely concoction of apple juice and greens+.

love the crazy posts. keep em coming. :) damn, i don't need an airport to go crazy in. work does it just fine.

Keith,

Can you order me a 15 tooth (14 is ok if that's all that's available) bmx freewheel for my ss? I don't need super high quality, since I might switch it up if I don't like the gear ratio.

how'd you get a dividend? i've been a member for almost ten years and spent thousands of dollars there!

is this credit redeemable for cash? i probably spent $300 there in the last year, but i use my mom's membership, so she'll be getting the credit. oh well, i suppose she helps enough with tuition and digging me out of my financial holes.

Just in case anyways curious

As I understand it, for the MEC thing every time you buy something you get more shares in the company. At the end of the fiscal period, they calculate everyone's shares and those with the highest get "bought out" to bring them down to a pre-determined maximum amount of shares.

You have to spend a LOT of money to get anything back. Like roughly the top 2% of their customers I think.

Well that ain't me in that case...

working for 9 bucks an hour sucks ballz though...

Further to that free shipping scam from BikeNashbar a while back, I refused to pay the freeshipping:=>shippingandhandling "fee" and to their credit they agreed to refund my credit card. Meanwhile, PerformanceBike delivered on their recent free shipping offer which included sending an in-stock part immediately for next day delivery by CanadaFedex and sending a back ordered item separately, later, at no additional charge.

Building up one of those Rumble frames left over from the liquidation of MountainCycle for a bombproof foul-weather commuter. Nice little frame, last of the USA production, and comes with detachable dropouts so the horizontal track-style forkend can be replaced with a vertical dropout if a derailleur was ever desired. Thanks to Cavit8 for putting me onto a supplier of suspension fork parts so I can recycle my old Judy on this project.

I received my PBK order last night. 2x Pr2 Service course tires for $64 into my house.

No duties?

Zilch,

I owe fedex some money for duties/brokerage but I was waiting to see what would happen if I just didn't pay the gouging bastards since I already have the item in hand. They should have forced COD like they usually do but I guess they were too lazy this time. I'll probably just end up sending them a cheque but damn I hate when they piss all over you and give you random and completely unpredictable charges every time you use them. It seems criminal.

madness! I wonder if she took it for my benefit...

I work for FedX

I've been seeing a lot of Fedex dropboxes & logos with a cute vandalize lately, they seem to chop the top of the "d", chop the "E" into an "r" & leave or obliterate the "x" so that it comes out a nice "Fear" or "Fear x" in a nifty Fedex logo way, someone should chop up in photoshop

I wish I could remember a specific dropbox, have they done that to a truck ever?

[QUOTE=Shiznaz]If you turn us in, ITS ON!

My hat off to this person!

trafficjammer: you going to the safety meeting? there's a shiny dvd in it for you

You can't avoid FedEx's absurd brokerage fees if you value your credit rating. They'll go after you aggressively if your account goes to collections. Their brokerage fees are standard policy, so it's not exactly "criminal." Only use CanPost service whenever possible ($5 flat brokerage fee).

I just got my order from Probikekit - $45 duty on a $120 order. Worse yet, the order was from a gift certificate I got for Christmas. They packed my stuff in a blue plastic bag (WTF?) and it arrived in terrible shape, with the bar tape unraveled and kinked. All the other parts arrived in cheap little bags without the box. Unbelievable. I'm only ordering from the US from now on.

complain to operator. i think he does q/c for them :D

steeker: if by "replacing" you mean pickup, then no, i haven't had time to drop by cavern in the morning to pick up my beater. my sannino won't come out until it's well into the nba playoffs. it replaced the fuji that was stolen. trying to track down some curved-no-rise nitto promenades for the beater... might be forced to go online fo' dat.

operator - i saw an ad for bikechain in the washroom at moonbeam. i suppose you were responsible for that? nice looking poster.

Haha. Ok maybe I shouldn't laugh but - they ship it in a blue bag to cut down on shipping costs (since it is free). The cost for the PBk orders should always take into account $5 + tax. Clothing is iffy.

I'd email PBK and tell them your story, all the times i've ordered (15+) off their it's all came in fine. I think you just got some random fluke shipp

Rofl, was it the "save bikechain" poster?

Anyone want to go to the Marlies game tomorrow night let me know, have 4 tickets I don't need.

Maple Leaf's farm team if I'm not mistaken. Hungry hungry hockey some say is better hockey than the bigs.
