Indy SBK

DaveM · 03-21-2006, 8:59 PM

I ordered a 15/44 Vortex sprockets and a DID 530VM X-ring chain for around 180 bucks when I did the on line ordering and check out it didn't show any S/H charges so I assume no S/H charges.
Well I get an Email toninght saying it shipped today and it is 24 bucks to ship! Does that sound right? Now don't get me wrong I am not bashing them I am just doing a little checking before I call and make an ass out of myself if this is the normal rate. I will place a call with them in the morning it just seems like 24 bucks is alot to ship that stuff. I know it's heavy but damn. Again this is not a slam they are good people.

Depending on the method of shipping, that seems a little high, but maybe not by much. Is it UPS ground, or?? I've ordered from Indy before, and was pretty satisfied with the purchase. I would also hope that they would tell you ahead of time what the shipping charges should be, or at least warn you that they will be calculated and added, rather than just a surprise.

DaveM · 03-21-2006, 9:23 PM

Yeah this is just normal UPS nothing fancy. But it was a total suprise tonight when I saw the charges. When I was checking out and it showed no S/H charges I assumed it was free since it was over 100.00 like lots of online places do. So after I place that order I forgot to add my DB windscreen so I go back online and order it get to checkout and it costs 13 to ship so I say ok since it's not over 100 there are charges. So the next morning I call and have them add it to this order to save S/H charges they say no sweat. But they didn't add it so I have to call tomorrow to find out WTF happened. I am sure it is a simple mistake.

They're cool guys, local to here. The S&H is automatically calculated by their cart system, so I am kind of surprised it didn't calculate it for you. But I can promise they're not trying to screw you or make up their profit/loss with S&H charges! Of course, I just go in to the shop and save all those charges anyways...

Local for me as well, real good service.

I think they are sponsoring a track day soon at Putnam.

They used to partner up witrh Curve Chasers for two days a year out there, but they parted ways at the end of last season... Not sure if they're doing their own days now or what.

Hammer · 03-22-2006, 8:41 AM

Kawboy was up there last week and they mentioned it to him that they were doing a day up at putnam but he did not get the details.

Dave,

I have purchased al ot of stuff from them in the past and they are excellent all around. But that $24 for S/H does seem a little high. You definitely want to call them and verify that it was not an error.

DaveM · 03-22-2006, 10:09 AM

Just talked with Dominic and that is the right price from what I understand is that it is 2 S/H charges one for the drop ship of the sprockets and one for the chain.

ConqSoft · 03-22-2006, 10:10 AM

That's BS... I would order it from somewhere that has them both, and will have one shipping charge. You shouldn't be penalized because they have to drop ship....

ReaperAZ · 03-22-2006, 10:16 AM

Sure does seem a bit high to me as well. I have ordered from them in the past and have nothing but good things to say. I delt with Chris Fruits and what a stand up guy. Really helped me out and gave me a SMOKIN deal on my Suomy Extreme model I got.

I agree but they are on the way should be here tomorrow don't feel like returning them. Oh well lesson learned the hard way

southpark460 · 03-22-2006, 12:24 PM

I'm surprised they drop shipped it... Was it standard ground shipping, or did you request expedited shipping or something? There's a fine balance on shipping orders. If you wait to ship the order until it's complete, someone will complain that it took too long to get part of it. If you have part of it drop shipped, then the shipping charges are higher. But I will agree, those charges do seem a bit high for ground shipping...

DaveM · 03-22-2006, 12:48 PM

Nothing fancy on ordering just whatever the regular is on the online ordering. They say they dropshipped them but I don't have anything now he said it will be here on the 24th.

Nickelii · 03-22-2006, 1:14 PM

Dave
I have a brand new Vortex 530 44t in my garage just waiting to be used. It's yours for $20 + shipping, if you're interested

Nickelii · 03-22-2006, 1:18 PM

Looks like I'm a bit late to join this thread. I'm a fool anway, I have a 45t, not 44

DaveM · 03-22-2006, 3:12 PM

No prob. Thanks anyways.

kawboy69 · 03-25-2006, 11:18 AM

I have been dealing with Dominic and Indy sbk for a while i have never had anything but good come from there.. I think something went wrong on your end because they are good people trying to make a dollar with the best prices. Alot cheaper than some of this site sponsors... did you rush shipping on 1 of the products???

Nice. Blame the customer.

schnogg · 03-25-2006, 12:02 PM

Seriously. Its my big beef with those ebay guys who charge HUGE "Shipipng and handling" charges for small stuff. They are using something like 7 dollar shipping and trying make profit on it.

No you took that wrong . if thats the way it sounded that not how it was inteded.I ment he might have had to ship direct to customer instead of shipping it together from the shop in one shippment...You are always quick to point your finger. I have learned to be like you in pointing the finger in the wrong direction..

Just joking conq.dont ban me!!

I didn't have anything rushed just ordered it all online at the sametime and it cost 25 bucks to ship. They said the sprockets were drop shipped but funny thing was is that it all showed up in one box. Chain, sprockets and DB windscreen.

I will think twice nextime I order there, if ever after this.

sorry to hear that happen to you i have just never heard of them doing anything like that before. Have you called them to find out why and let them know it was shipped together

.Your right that would suck and can't say i would blame you for going else where...
