Pushys buys Bikebug

[Mr Purple]

That might explain some of the delays.

Tyres shipped today. Three weeks after ordering.

[Mr Purple]

Bikebug seem to have their act together now - ordered a heap of stuff for the weight weenie build with their 20% off sale and most of it will arrive within a week.

Looks like they were moving warehouses - presumably sharing one with Pushys now; which makes sense.

[peter]

Not a good news. No wonder it says permanently closed on Google (Tempe store). What used to take 30 minute drive now requires 1 whole week shipping from Brisbane (most recent order).

[Gordonhooker]

I have been ordering bike tools from both over the past few weeks while I finish off my bike workshop and both have delivered very quickly compared to amazon.com.au and the like.

Delivery for me in Sydney has doubled from three to six days, so the service is worse.

Still not too bad considering the delivery time of some of the others - anything coming from Melbourne seems to take forever as well. I suppose the fact that Pushy's warehouse is located in Brisbane helps my delivery times.

It was even better when Pushys allowed Click & Collect from the Salisbury (Brisbane) warehouse.

I recently ordered some Shimano flat pedal shoes for my wife and myself (separate orders) and both were delivered within 48 hours. One order was direct from Pushys and the other from Pushys via Catch.

The only issue I have with Pushy's is the fact that you have spend $100 or more to get free shipping where BikeBug was free, setting up the workshop was not too bad because I waited until I knew exactly what I needed to update or replace before ordering.

Great if you live near Salisbury, but a bit of a drive for me though.

Sounds like they have closed the Sydney operation? Drove pass Tempe a couple of days ago, the signage is still there but being on weekend no one was around, so can't really tell.

That's my point. I used to receive BikeBug orders in two/three days, now it's six days from Brisbane. So Pushys buying BikeBug has been negative for me. Pushys website is also inferior.

And Pushys stock level is dismal, at least Bikebug used to keep a reasonable level before the covid shitstorm.
I love their sales, 20% off nothing available, is, well, dare I say it, clickbait??

Thought they did well, or maybe the offer was too good to pass on.

Yeah, exactly. Order placed on Saturday, arrived Tuesday a week later (7th business day to Sydney metro). Was annoying it didn't arrive before the weekend.

Ordered Saris H3 trainer 29 June, delivered 30 June from Pushys. Brisbane to Sydney. No complaints here.

Probably delivered by a courier, due to value and size/weight. Having to come from Brisbane is not going to get you next day delivery on all products all the time. It's going to be a longer wait in general.

[am50em]

Yes delivery times are variable but alot of this is down to couriers and space availability on flights or trucks. Still alot of covid around which impacts on the courier services. But in general my deliveries from Bikebug or Pushys has been in a reasonable time frame.

Lately I have been using 99bikes which have had good stock and prices. Plus a store 3km away is convenient.

[MichaelB]

I recently bought some stuff of Pushys with their 15% off sale.

It was picked the next day and tracking info provided later that day. One package arrived after 3 days, and the other a day later.

So all good from my perspective.

[Gordonhooker]

I ordered a couple of things from Pushy's on Monday afternoon and they arrived just before lunch today.

Yes, Bikebug used to be two days on average from order to delivery for me in Sydney but now it's almost a week from Pushys due to the warehouse being located in Brisbane. So for Sydney residents, the service has worsened since Pushys took over Bikebug.

Bought wheels on trainer for my wife from Pushys. Next day delivered. The front wheel block ordered at same time (Thurs) due Tue.

[peter]

Bikebug up'd free shipping to over $99.

Didn’t realise they had closed Tempe until I did a search.

They have lost my business permanently then. It was convenient being able to go to Tempe and collect things quickly without the bother of shipping.
