The LBS just called and get this, my Dahon bicycle box had no bicycle in it.


They said that it was just filled with joss sticks. WTH? Is the LBS giving me a line?

...Sorry, I'm not familiar with the term so... What are joss sticks? Incense? I'd say drop by the LBS. =P You'll either get a good laugh or a good screaming.

Which store?

Maybe it's Dahon's latest model they sent you?

When folded it becomes invisible and you need the special specs to unfold it.

It's called the Dano Nano :D

Hope you get it sorted. Always disappoiting when a delivery gets screwed up!

What's up? Don't you like joss sticks?

+1. I'm guessing the bike was stolen out of the box at some point. but what do I know. We need more information. What's the scenario? Did you order the bike to be sent to your home, or directly to the bike shop? If you accepted the delivery at home and then brought it to the bike shop unopened, that would be bad. Did anyone sign for the bike? And so on.

Photos always a plus.

Unless you ordered the bike directly from Dahon and had it shipped to the LBS, the LBS is responsible, of course. Are they hesitating ordering a replacement? If they are, request your deposit back immediately and contact Dahon.

.. photos always a plus..

What was it a new 2009 special edition Dahon Superlight using NASA materials and weighing 2kg?

I'm amazed the LBS would sign for a package that's meant to be a bike and not notice the package was so light. Fingers crossed they ordered for you and that you are covered. Have you been waiting long for the order?

Someone ought to report is stolen and file with the shipping company.

I agree this needs more info.........
keep us in the loops ...

thanks thor

SesameCrunch stole it. He hopes to trade it for buns to sustain him during the lengthy pootle from San Fran Crisco to London in August.

'twas the only way I could afford to get there after paying for the Moulton..

Cant you fold a dollar bill till it dissappears? maybe a dahon works the same way.

You mean you prepaid EvilV?

I'm sure I saw him checking in at London Heathrow dimsmantling a TSR and bound for the Galapagos Islands :D

Perhaps this will help. Context.

Phew you are covered! Time you were made prioirty order now after that.

Tell them have no wish for a Dahon Nano. How could they sign for a light box?

I think it's disgusting.

I just called my friend who works for DHL. She says you have to inventory the joss sticks, let them know the number, flavour, and weight, and DHL will email you a prepaid barcode. You fax this to the LBS, and ask them to ship the box back to:

C. M. Aromatics, Flavours & Fragrances
304, Guru Ram das Marg
Adarsh Nagar, Jaipur-302004
Rajasthan (INDIA).


She's a personal friend of the CEO there; he says your bike is safe, and Krishna or somebody, is watching over it.

ROFL. Hahahaha. At least it's not stolen, shipping is pre-paid. Congrats to yee for a happy ending.
