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.
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
