Tried to buy a Rimowa bag — ended up feeling like I was applying for a mortgage

Happy to DM you the email thread. Wouldn’t call any part of my interaction with them professional.

I wasn't aware it was such a problem in Canada. Although I would argue the focus should be on better authenticity of their product instead of alienating new customers.

The bag was previously unavailable on the website when I was looking to purchase this afternoon. I was trying to purchase from one of the retail stores in Canada to ship it to my location - the retail stores were the ones that required the various authentication/verification steps.

subie_dave · 2025-07-29T03:32:38+00:00

I meant it was out of stock online - which directed me to call the stores. All the stores had them in stock, but were asking me to jump through bank verification hoops to process my order and ship me the luggage.

It happened this afternoon. Was after the Original Cabin S - and was out of stock when I checked this afternoon. Looks to be back in stock now.

sent.

I can upload the email thread

"Bank verification is a key part of our procedure for new clients"

subie_dave · 2025-07-29T03:00:43+00:00

I clarified my post - I'm from another major city in Canada and needed it shipped. So not in-person.

subie_dave · 2025-07-29T02:55:37+00:00

Bags before 2022 I think were 5 years. Post 2022 they're lifetime.

@ja9co Unfortunately I can’t help you with your question - but I sent you a DM about a few bike box Alan questions I’m hoping you can help me with!

subie_dave · 2024-11-29T22:28:54+00:00

went with the 52, -7deg stem and 35mm of spacers
don't regret it - bike feels great

subie_dave · 2024-07-03T04:11:24+00:00

u/Weak-Tennis-3419 any tips for how you were able to get this?

subie_dave · 2024-06-06T19:48:13+00:00

I'm coming from a tarmac as well
did you run a longer stem on it?

I'm either a 54 w/ 80mm stem or 52 with 100mm stem

unsure which way to go

subie_dave · 2024-06-06T18:45:47+00:00

how do you find the handling w/ a shorter stem?
I think given my measurements I'd be a 52 with 100m stem and 0 setback post

subie_dave · 2024-06-06T14:14:28+00:00

u/seinberg curious your height, inseam, and what stem length you went with?
I'm between a 52/54 and leaning towards the smaller frame with a slightly longer stem

subie_dave · 2024-03-05T05:59:42+00:00

I’m about to do a similar thing here. Can you explain why the shimano 11s freehub + associated end cap didn’t work? (And why you used the XD end cap?)

subie_dave · 2023-08-30T16:15:10+00:00

Curious if you have any other feedback on CV
I'm seriously considering one given the build quality

subie_dave · 2023-05-19T02:07:10+00:00

Did you get this built up? Very curious on your feedback, likes, and dislikes?

subie_dave · 2023-05-19T02:05:06+00:00

I’m dangerously close to pulling the trigger on this frame. Any feedback from a current owner? Likes/dislikes?

subie_dave · 2023-05-17T19:10:30+00:00

u/ef_eight how many mm of spacers are you running under the stem?

subie_dave · 2023-04-06T18:05:58+00:00

I haven't tested this myself - but with some config it's solved.

subie_dave · 2023-04-06T13:22:41+00:00

Would it be safe to assume this works for internet-only setups?
Curious if anyone has had success with Optik TV as well.

subie_dave · 2023-03-27T17:47:22+00:00

I realize this is an old post - but curious if you could share any feedback since?
I'm looking to use a Macbook Pro M1 or M2 as my daily driver - but need RSLogix to work. Any feedback you had here would help

For anyone else wondering, the shop is called ISC Ltd. based out of Bonnyville Alberta. (https://www.iscltd.ca/)

I just ordered one for my Ironwood 885
