Default Something Positive to Post About eBay:

I thought it'd be nice to post up about an eBay shop I've recently dealt with, I ordered some bike bits (just little tacky mods nothing special). As with most mods they were coming in from Hong Kong, I know a lot of people are reluctant to use the sellers from the far east because of:
a, The large delay on postage,
b, the high cost of postage,
c, the risk of damage to the package and
d, It could be a PITA should you need to return it.

Well fear not my 2 wheel roaming friends, I've just used a seller where:
a, It arrived within 7 days,
b, Postage is free on most items (and the items are still cheaper than most other shops so its not as though he's hiked up the price to compensate).
c, My package did arrive battered with a small break to one item BUT...
d, He's already arranged for a replacement one to be sent out I should recive that within a week.

They take a photo of the package before its sent out and email you that image which I thought was a nice touch.
When I let them know about the damaged item all they asked was that I email them a pic of it damaged, which I did about an hour ago. Then just before starting this post I recived another pic from them of the replacement parcel. No need for me to post back the damaged one either, so for absolutly no extra cost a replacement is now on its way.

Very pleased with the service, and cant recommend them enough.
His name you ask? Its Lin and this is his shop;

Its gotta be worth a look.

Dear lord please tell me you didn't buy "Me ruv you rong time" brake levers???

If the postal service can break them I wouldn't have much confidence using them on the bike!!!

be very careful when adjusting them and use relevant grease on moving parts.
had cheap mirrors snap in my hand whilst gently adjusting them before. The again at £4 each I just bought another!
