BikeBandit Now that's fast delivery!

[usmalenurse]

Don't usually post about great service but got to give props to BikeBandit for the delivery of the Metzler rear tire for my 1100. Actually placed the order Thursday afternoon around 4PM here on the east coast and the tire was at my back door the next day at 3PM. I was at work and checked my email and saw the notification and just assumed they had shipped the tire but I called my wife and she confirmed that it was already delivered. It is a Metzler Z6 and the manufacture date is October of 2018 so I think I'm good to go. But just wanted to share about their delivery service. Did order an air filter as well that has not been delivered yet but no rush on that as I only ordered it to get the "free shipping". Have a good Lords day!

Curious, what country was Metzler Z6 manufactured in?

"Shipping Insanity" at BikeBandit | Discounts / Group Buys

I had to order a new rear tire for the 2008 ST. I don't do much "shopping around" anymore, as different shops sell at about the same price. . Anyway, the tire I chose, at BikeBandit [1], had an icon on it labeled "Shipping Insanity". Turns out, they will upgrade the shipping to next day...

Country of manufacture is stamped on the tire

Many if not most of the good online tire dealers have tires drop-shipped by Parts Unlimited, which has warehouses in every major city. This is how they can offer fast and even free shipping.

It's a great service.

Old news. PU isn't the only distributor... others are just as pervasive.

Yup. And BTW, thanks for pointing out how behind the times I am.

I only asked because I ordered a Metzler Z6 for the front (a few years ago), it was manufactured in Germany.
Then ordered Metzler for rear, and to my surprise it was manufactured in China. Seems weird having different countries for front and back ...

I installed a BT020 2-3 weeks ago ... made in Japan.

I checked the shipping tags for the tire I recently bought from BikeBandit - drop shipped from Tucker.

In Texas, we have three major distributors - Western Power Sports, Tucker Powersports, and Parts Unlimited (sister co. is Drag Specialties). I've bought stuff that gets drop-shopped from all three, which is great, cause I'm in Texas : )
