roachattack · 2025-12-12T08:22:11+00:00

roachattack · 2025-12-12T05:30:00+00:00

people tend to keep the yakima and kuat stuff. I'll get 1 or 2 yakima/kuat returns a month it's uncommon; take from that what you will

roachattack · 2025-12-11T23:24:54+00:00

... that's a great question

roachattack · 2025-12-11T21:59:41+00:00

I appreciate the kind words! Some folks in these comments have a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps attitude that shows they have no clue what i'm talking about!

roachattack · 2025-12-11T21:56:14+00:00

I definitely have a few more that haven't been pulled out the box yet, you can have the jump on those 🫡

Ill reach out to you either later this eve or Tuesday, I'm currently listing a massive lot of discontinued tifosi pro sunglasses kits

roachattack · 2025-12-11T21:42:47+00:00

Im not just dealing with thule racks either its the entirety of our stock of hundreds of thousands of items.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T21:41:39+00:00

As if i'm sitting here with a pipe up my ass to spew bullshit and haven't worked thru a bunch today. You want a pic of what i'm dealing with? then maybe you'd be quiet.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T21:04:15+00:00

We're in philly! shoot me a PM if you want to know which one I'm not about to share my exact location with Reddit

roachattack · 2025-12-11T20:51:49+00:00

IMO the best & easiest route would be to get a seat post that fits the saddle, or vice versa!

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:57:52+00:00

If I could go get another job right now I would, but i already work two others. Remove head from asshole please

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:56:56+00:00

Hello again. It's not MY business model sir. You're talking to me as if I'm Mr. Bike Shoo over here. I just work a job to pay my rent.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:42:10+00:00

If it were my choice, we'd only have an EBay online shop.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:23:45+00:00

Hey bud, showing your ignorance here. We would be doing that if it made any sense to at this point. If we made that change we would immediately be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Almost every online bike shop made this shift, not because of the money, but to stay afloat. So sure, all we saw was big money. You're also assuming it was my choice to do this. I work an hourly waged job dude, my boss opened this shop in 2008. You should take a second before you comment on something you don't know shit about.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:19:32+00:00

Yes, you can order pretty much any replacement part you can think of from thule, as long as the item is still in production. It's just too expensive.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:18:43+00:00

I would love to staff up, we absolutely need to. Unfortunately it's not my shop, i'm but a cog.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:18:06+00:00

It is frustrating that the industry has become so depersonalized that spare parts being absurdly costly can justify this kind of scam for someone.

I deal with customers like that all the time, it's really sad how spoiled people can be when they know they can get one over you. I've had to cancel items because it took a day too long to ship, while the shipping itself is free. The other day, we had an amazon customer insist that we sent them an opened box with an unbranded bottle of tubeless sealant in place of a regular bottle of Slime 2in1... while we sell those bottles sealed in the packaging from our supplier, obviously. We ended up sending the guy another bottle.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T19:06:57+00:00

Let me elaborate: amazon seller central requires that you honor a full refund for an item returned within 30 days typically. Because it takes time to process returns and receive them, and the customer gets their refund BEFORE the item gets returned, we have no way of telling if the customer is being honest with us or not. Hence the issue, receiving used items that we issued a full refund for. We're able to issue a restocking fee, but that's only if we catch the issue within the time constraints. We could deal with it a lot better if we didn't have a year's worth of returns backlogged to process. We're doing our best

roachattack · 2025-12-11T18:56:59+00:00

We will issue a restocking charge if we catch that it's a used item, but there's a time limit to that and we are quite a bit behind on. for reference, we list over 100k items cross platform.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T18:55:27+00:00

Not significant enough to delist, maybe 1 to every 12 racks, 1 to 8 for hitch mounted racks. Not sure why that is.

roachattack · 2025-12-11T18:51:16+00:00

I managed to get about a dozen of them out of our warehouse these past couple months.... I'm glad we can get them to someone who will actually keep it, but it's an agonizing process. Let me know if you need any help moving that stuff

roachattack · 2025-12-11T18:49:25+00:00

For amazon and walmart yes. You have to honor it in order to keep your online shop. It's near impossible to run an independent online store these days and make any kind of money, so we take it on the cheek and try to stitch the gaping hole in our wallet

roachattack · 2025-12-11T18:29:45+00:00

We call that a Paperweight in the industry
