 Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone any experience of a shop in Mulhouse called Ridealer. I am considering buying an item and having it shipped to the UK but they are asking for payment by bank transfer. Happy to support local businesses but item not available anywhere else.
Many thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@Ibexman2, no experience of them, but what are you looking for? Maybe that someone else with little online presence has it.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Dave of the Marmottes, it's becoming more common in Ireland, If banks don't change their policy on charges shops wont take cards. Places are charging 2% on a credit card to cover the costs, if that starts on debit cards it will be back to the days of cash only

I'd be concerned their website prominently displays vida/MasterCard and PayPal logos. Why aren't they accepting them?

@Ibexman2, they're cheaper here, although they may not have the right length:
http://www.achat-ski.com/fr/faction/13486-candide-30.html
not sure on comparative delivery cost but Achat-ski say they deliver to the UK.
Given that achat-ski are between Albertville and Moutiers you may even find a kind SH in the area that could bring them back to the UK for you. Unfortunately, we're too far away to do it.
There is way too little info (FAQs, etc.) on the Ridealer website in comparison to the Achat-ski one.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

A further check (it's snowing, so we're not rushing out!) reveals that Ridealer are not an official Faction retailer. It may be worth contacting Faction directly to check who they think may have some, or asking Achat-ski if they can get them in.
A quick check in our area shows a couple of places that I know have no online presence at all, so phoning round a few may be worthwhile. I'll happily pop into Black Side in Flaine and ask next time we're up there, if that helps.

@sj1608 many thanks for the reply. Faction aren't aware of any left. I'm not going to risk Ridealer so I may have to wait until next season.

@Ibexman2, went into Black Side this morning. As always, they were very helpful, but only had the Candide 2.0s and didn't rate your chances of finding the 3.0s anywhere. I refrained from asking if they were aware of Ridealer!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
