Any trouble ordering from the UK = Brexit
With the current situation in the UK and Brexit, has anyone been ordering bicycle parts from the UK and experienced a slow delivery or other problems out of the ordinary? Same goes for China and the current relationship the US and China have. I would like to order some gear from the UK but I have a fear that at this time, there may be delay in delivery times to the US due to all the fuss going on over there with Brexit.

I've had no issues with orders from ProBikeKit and have an order from Merlin on the way right now. Also have an order in from China, which I expect to be delayed due to the holiday (Lunar New Year), but other than that it should be fine.

No issues here either. Ordered a full groupset from Merlin, was slow getting through customs, but more an issue due to more recent issues here in the US, but shipping was prompt.

I ordered a bike from Pearson Cycles in the U.K. last week and it was delivered today. No problemo.

everything is normal for the moment. Absent some sort of agreement, though, all bets are off on March 29th

I don’t order stuff from China, so not an issue.
I order lots of stuff from the UK, my supplier assures me that there should be no problems.
It is all good.
