Sales drop.... and the continued weakening of the dollar.

I didn't post a reply to let it drop off to the second page because I didn't see the other post, thanks chopper.

It doesn't make sense. A weakening dollar compared to the pound should make things from GB priced higher, but some of their prices compete with used components on ebay, especially when they are on sale.

This is good news. I wasn't planning to ever look at probikekit since they started charging shipping and had no clue about it when I emailed them. There's a disconnect between their sales/cs folks to the policy maker.

That's my point. If in fact a large % of their sales come from the US, they must "incentivize" doing business with their company via free shipping, competitive prices. Ultimately UK residents see the best results.

It makes sense when you realize that their deals used to be better. Now with the exchange rate I can find a few places in the US that are close enough.

clichty 05-17-07 09:43 PM

Darn I forgot about the coupon too! I just ordered some tires and KEO classics for my dad and me. Does anyone know how long an order takes to ship to the Midwest?

+2 - Shimano R700 for the Horrible Hilly on its way.

BTW - shipping to midwest is usually right at 5-10 days. I will expect to see my crank about next Friday.
