    iMotorcycle.com review

    Well, I ordered my tires and chain from iMotorcycle.com and told them not to ship it UPS as I didn't want to pay the brokerage fee which would probably cost me more than the parts.

    Order date: October 3, 2006
    Recieved chain: October 18, 2006 regular mail (I have no friggin' idea where the tires are)

    iMotorcycle tells me they were shipped on the same day, but as chain package and tire package. So waiting on my tires still.

    The chain was undervalued on the customs documents, so no extra fees.

    I will update when I get my tires.



    PS. I got some stick on weights from Kal tire, I just asked and theguy gave me two sticks.

    Yes, its a trade-off....you will likely end up saving at least $150 on the parts compared to local prices (even with shipping), but expect to wait a minimum of 2 weeks (more if the stuff is held up for evaluation by customs, which is likely the case with yr tires)....as imotorcycle probably told you, they have no control over delivery times via regular mail, which is why they prefer to ship UPS. I received my Pirelli in 20 days of placing the order, and it was examined by Canadian customs.

      This appears to be an unhappy review of the international mail service and not iMotorcycle.com. Mail delays on a foreign shipment that followed your shipping instructions is out of their hands, and hardly their fault. I have bought from them and received both good prices, service, and fast delivery on domestic shipments.

        The tires have arrived \\/ they are the tires I ordered, the correct sizes and all. The rear looks like it has some serious tread depth, it is an Avon am52 and the front is a 100, narrower than the 110 on the bike now, but a good looking tire and avon am51. imotorcycle undervalued the tires as well, so I paid $10 in duty/gst.



        USPS and Canada Post both suck rocks because thier service is so bad though.

          I don't know what it is about the Canadian/ US border, but it is a nightmare sending anything accross it.

          I know someone who bought a mp3 player from a company in Canada and the tracking of the delivery had it sitting at the border for two weeks!!

          you can send stuff from here to Germany and they will have it inside a week.
