It's mindbogglingly backward-lookingjust4tehhalibut wrote:.. and there's buckleys seeing a shop in AU selling them let alone most of the range of Ortlieb bags.
I can only suggest writing to the company and point out that they are losing sales, not protecting them. Unless they can point you to a retailer you can use.
(Do try .nz .sg .hk stores etc)

I wouldn't be surprised but this doesn't help us in any shape or form. Local stores can't get Ortlieb or the full product range plus local stores can't get the full product colours. My latest purchase from Bike24 went through but 24hrs later I got the email saying sorry no can do. I ended up with orders for the UK and US to fill my needs.Mulger bill wrote:What's the betting the local distros are behind this? Don't want to lose sales to OS stores but don't want to lose their obscene middleman markups either

Yeah Bike 24 has not been shipping Ortlieb to Australia since at least June, probably earlier.just4tehhalibut wrote:I had an order in with Bike24, a webshop in Germany. This included small parts to upgrade an Ortlieb pannier but I just got an email to the effect that "unfortunately, due to the manufacturer it is no longer allowed to send Ortlieb products outside of the EU, so we removed this article from your order."
I found the people at Abbotsford Cycles in Melbourne had a great range and at prices lower than Australian online stores like Pushy's (for my front panniers anyway).

Not the case. Pushys are still cheaper.Espresso_ wrote:I found the people at Abbotsford Cycles in Melbourne had a great range and at prices lower than Australian online stores like Pushy's (for my front panniers anyway).
Abbotsford $149 for Sortpacker Classic
Pushys $109 for Sportpacker Classic
Similar price differential for other panniers eg. rear Bikepacker Classics for $135 versus $185. These are a FAR lower prices compared with 2003 when I first bought Ortlieb bags and the local price for a set of Bikepacker Classics was $300 and the Sportpacker Classics were $220. The local purchase option now looks reasonably viable.

LOL I only just received that very product from Pushys in the mail this morning and paid the same price.

However Pushys prices are now very competitive - a better deal.
