Tirerack experiences?

[Big_M]

Glad you got them mate.
I know what you mean about FedEx tracker but. I had some items sent from the US and they did almost the same as your shipment. One box landed in Syd at the same time it landed in JFK. Crossed wires somewhere. Still I got it a day later so didn't stress.

Thanks Big_M, yeah doesnt matter if they had to re-ship so long as they arrive. What I really didnt want was an insurance claim with me having to re-purchase with the proceeds of claim on a falling Aussie, it has dropped almost 5c since I ordered, which would translate to around 40 bucks plus any bank fees.
Talking to the garage guy this morning, he's had one pair a full week before the others, a full week during which time I thought they were still in Sydney and there was no response to either my email or phone inquiry apart from saying they would investigate.
Fitted on Thursday next... cant wait, they look great.

PS: today 31 May I got an inquiry from Tire Rack as to whether my goods had arrived. I said yes thanks and added the above tracker comments. They replied it had concerned them as well. Guess that admits the system relies on people to work well.

FYI:
A mate just had an email from Tirerack telling him they can't/won't sell Michelin tyres to Australia anymore.

Jeez, that is a bit rough.
I was looking at a set when the time comes to upgrade mine later this year but now i will have to look into other options.

if you are desperate for the michelin, then have them shipped via www.hopshopgo.com

Ordered and paid for a set of RE760 Bridgestone's yesterday. Pretty happy with their customer service so far. Very professional and prompt. The clock is now ticking on delivery...

I see on the tirerack website they now have Paypal, don't suppose that applies to us?

I don't think it does. When I paid on Monday, wire transfer was the only option offered, and I did double-check.

A denial of free trade between Oz and the US will also be contrary to the terms of the Australian-American Free Trade Agreement and the ACCC or whatever they are now called should be interested.

Tyres arrived this morning. 8 days from date of payment. Very impressed with Tirerack.

given the local tire shop didn't sell the tires, what do they typically charge to fit & balance ones you've bought yourself elsewhere
