randy when you package up a bike the way you have shown, do the recipients get angry, I would believe most would have to bring it to a shop for re-assembly. Your method is a way I would like to do it to ensure no damage, but am worried they might be mad at a extra expense.
I have never had a complaint. On the contrary, I have been commended many times for my effective packing and tracking efforts/results. My customers have express no ill concern, primarily because I believe in good communication prior to making a deal. I ensure that my customer has answers to questions that he or she might not even think to ask. I do this to help ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises when the package arrives.
However, no matter how hard I try or how much
information I attempt to share,
regarding purchasing bicycles and components on-line, confusion does crop up, from time to time. When that happens, I usually as the customer what he or she would like me to do about the problem, allowing that person to state both their problem and possible solutions.
