They messed up a refund after I returned an exhaust. Turns out they refunded me the wrong amount and I didn't notice. 6 months later they just decided to debit my credit card for the 200 odd euro without saying anything ! More recently I ordered 3 different k&n air filters. Turns out one wasn't in stock for a couple of weeks. No bother I thought, wasn't in a hurry. Fast forward a month and they cancelled the entire order and refunded my money without even the slightest of contact. They used to be a great company to deal with online but have taken a nose dive recently. On the flip side their stores are amazing and you feel like you're walking into a family run local business every time you visit.

Hi Folks,
Has anyone ordered stuff from SportBikeShop in the UK lately?
Just curious to see if they are getting caught for customs \ extra charges
I haven’t ordered from them or helmetcity in a while but have heard of them being charged import tax on other forums - sometimes it still works out cheaper but best that you budget for it.
Have used this Italian site three times now and has worked well each time for me. Website is a pain as translation isn’t great but the goods arrived relatively quickly and always in excellent condition - Pogliani (can’t post links)

Bought a jacket in lee motorcycles in Cork, join the loyalty scheme (details on their website) and get a discount. Cheapest price for the jacket even before discount was applied
Tried buying an exhaust system (Arrow) from a gaggle of Italian suppliers, but they could not get the payment to go through. Contacted PTSB here and they could see 3 attempts at pre-Authorisation, but at a zero value. The bank assumes all zero-value attempts are bogus/fraud attempts, and to tell retailer to put it through for €1 or something, but the Italians gave up.
Ordered a different exhaust from the States on Monday 16th, arrived here 24th, fitted 24th !! Easy-peasy.
Anyone bought anything off motardinn.com
Seems to be a few issues with online payments [credit cards] these days. A retailer in cork! declined a card and blamed the bank. The bank said no problems here and pointed back to Cork, Cork then blamed the card company. The card company said no issues here and pointed back to the payment system been operated by the retailer! Finally, the retailer in cork pulled the finger out and admitted it was the website card payment system operates by a 3rd company that was to blame. It took me a week to get my head around all that. I will be staying off the internet of things for a while now I think.
I've had that a few times in the last month. In each case the retailer blamed (my) bank. My bank said 'nope', that the retailer (or to be more accurate, their credit card merchant) was doing a pre-authorisation on the card, but at € 0.00. PTSB automatically block those as potential fraud, and told me to get the retailer to pre-authorise it for 50c, or a €1 and it would be fine, but the retailer couldn't be bothered.
Went elsewhere (US), problem sorted.
Be careful shopping outside eu these days.
I've had 8 parcels since July sent back without being notified.
Apparently taric codes or ioss numbers are the problem.
Senders saying documents in order and an post saying they are not.
A right pain in the hoop.
I think they used to charge about 20 iirc
Picked up a few bits today shipping was 9.95
