Did everything arrive in tact? Did you have to pay duty? What is their after sales service like?
Screaming red hot deals like Zipp 2013 firecrest 404 wheelset for $2106. Free delivery too. I could pick up a chorus cassette for $135 so about 2241 all in. Is this legit?

I have bought numerous times from Merlin - Groupsets, Wheels and components
I had one order damaged in transit (out of maybe 15) which they fixed up without hesitation. Just bought a wheellset from them and it is excellent
As far as duty goes, it is a bit of a lucky dip - allow for the tax man to take his share, and if he doesn't then you are ahead!

Not in original packaging obviously, just bubble wrapped and popped into a box, but generous amount of bubble wrap so it all came in good order, no damage.

Wheels are exempt from duty anyway, but you will pay GST on anything valued over A$1000. $2990 seems to be the price they are going for in Australia (online) so you are saving around $400 if you buy from Merlin.

All items received yesterday in about a weeks time in perfect working order.CXCommuter wrote:Haven't ordered wheels but SRAM red components and other stuff, all arrived as required and in good nick- also highly recommended (currently waiting on pedals and random stuff from them as we speak).

Merlin built a set of wheels for me a few months ago - really, really well done. The lead times are a little long, I think because they are popular wheel builder, and the shipping is a little slow. I was planning on building the wheels myself but Merlin were able to do it cheaper than I could, even including shipping.Farqs wrote:Thanks for the responses guys - I've bought some wheels so we'll see how how go. The prices appear to be amongst the sharpest online.
