When i said ages it was abit of a hyperbole, i meant along time. I said if its not in this order it will take ages. If i couldnt ride my bike because my pedal was broken, and it was a choice between waiting 1-2 weeks or waiting 4 months. I know which one I (and you) would choose as time is off the essence. April is 4 months away, along time. I think you will agree.
On the topic of me telling you what to do, i dont belive i did anything of the sort in that post. Sure i asked you to post my stuff via Aust Post if it woudl get to me quicker but i belive that is a valid request as (Alexx will back me up here) my bike is FCUKED. However dan, if i had been telling you to do this do that, then as a business man i would suggest it would be in your best interest to (with in reason) follow these requests. I spose its kinda like going to a reasturaunt and the chef telling you what you will order. You earn money from helping us, your coustomers, out. By doing this it will also improve your businesses reputation. I know you, but say it had been brett smith or somone i have never met i was "doing business" with i would be less likely to continue purchasing madcore trialsin parts from them. Unfortunatley for you, you are an online business which means you have far less inbetween you and an overseas online counterpart as the convinence of walking into a bike shop and getting what you want then and their is not possible (unless you live close by i suppose). This has turned into be what was supposed to be a short post into an essay. However i belive you realy should read it, read it again, and then reply if you choose to do so. It is not here to make you angry, it is here as a suggestion. Take it on board or disgaurd it.

fuckface : dunno who u r! but u better hope i dont find out...
anyways... i do have vps... tho i doubt il be sellin much more to many ppl. Due to attitudes of alot of people austrialshop is looking like it might close. None of you seem to REALLY understand the process of importing, retailing and running your own business. To give you an idea the past 4-6months of work ive done... has all been blown away by some unseen costs (no fault of my own) , and its meant ive just broken even.
Now some of you do realise what i do and the effort i put in to offer you the best products at the best prices.
But the majority of you lately have made me feel my efforts are going unrecognised.... So depending on what happens in the next few months... the supply of cheap trials gear to australian riders may ccome to an end.
Thanks to the supporters and the honest ppl who have appreciated it ...
Dan

AlexPV- sorry I got confused reading your post, just need to understand some things. "I spose its kinda like going to a reasturaunt and the chef telling you what you will order." Is Dan the chef or..? In reality he is only the waiter, he brings the food to you but he does not cook it (ie factory). There is not much he can do to speed up your meal, unless he threatens chef. "Unfortunatley for you, you are an online business which means you have far less inbetween you and an overseas online counterpart as the convinence of walking into a bike shop and getting what you want then and their is not possible (unless you live close by i suppose). " I got lost in this part- does your local bike shop sell Echo and Zoo and Megamo? I would like to visit canberra if so  In my home town hardly any bike shops have trials parts for sale, unless you are after BMX/mountainbike parts for trial riding like headset, bolts, tensioner, grips etc. Austrialshop is the only web site I have heard of in australia that sells real trials product.. if everyone buys overseas then how will austrialshop get more stock ?

Hello everyone! Please cheer up. I'm sure you have heard this already but arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, no matter who wins, everyone's retarded. Dan, please don't take Alex seriously, he doesnt want to put anyone out of business or anything, its just the way he says things sound harsh sometimes. Back to the pedals, Dan, is it too late to order 8 pairs of VP pedals so they will get here within a couple of weeks? Do they come in different colours? Cheers. |

Louis The whole thing about the chef has nothing to do with echo/zoo. It was between me and dan about how he was going to post the bikes if he couldnt get them posted the day before the day before christmas. The thing about overseas trials shops: The reason people dont buy things straight from amercia/uk/whereverthefukitscheapest is because they can go to their local bike shop at 11am and have the part in 2 mins on their bike. They can check that it fits easily etc etc. In the trials parts busines dan has less of an advantage over trialsin or the trialsinshop for example as you cant walk into his shop. Im over it. I cant be fucked typing more. Dan has seen my response and has discussed it with me so lets not get to worried. |

hey simon, i dont need pedals anymore, i really needed new ones so i went to mals(sorry dan) you don't need to apologise - this is a free market and nobody should be made to feel guilty about where they do or do not choose to buy their parts. Some shops have advantages over others but the last thing shopping should be is a global moral decision. - Joel |
