Both Wiggle and Chain Reaction have always landed within 1 week form order. Makes it hard to order within Australia at times...
If im to get something I always ensure I order it on Saturday or Sunday and it always lobs Thursday or Friday that week. Even DHL got my Canyon to me in 1 working week once it was in their hands.

Anything from QLD or NSW and im lucky to have it within the week of ordering. Melbourne to SA even can take 3/4 of a week.

Recently I've had pretty good service/delivery times from both Pushys and BikeBug. Both are generally delivering within a week of ordering using the budget/free delivery option. Torpedo 7 seems to be getting worse in my opinion.

Good point, ive only ordered from Pushys once and you are right. They were a few days quicker than Mountain Bikes Direct in QLD and it landed on the Friday after ordering on the weekend.

hoping that some Victorian ARSEs might be able to help out here. We're looking for a family friendly bike shop somewhere near Myrniong.

V and I helped buy a bike for her niece a while back and just recently noticed that one of the spoke nipples is missing :/ While it's not a massive safety issue (small wheels, high spoke count and low stress) it's probably worth getting attended to.

Any suggestions?
