Well to me anyway, ordered 29er rims arrived with a scratch on them, rang up and said they could courier some new ones on a few days, chanced my arm for a front derailleur as compensation, they agreed.
Result! Great customer service CRC.

Compensation for a scratch? The world's gone mad.

Should have tried for a new set of pikes as compensation for the emotional distress

Well it was 8inches round the rim with 3-4 inches quite deep.

Anything wrong with just getting the rim replaced?

Well done to the OP for getting a free mech, I guess.

Not just saying it, but the thought of asking for a free part would never have crossed my mind.

To be honest I did complain about the delivery time as I ordered a tyre from Germany at the same time and it came first

Good point, no paid for the tyre delivery, that would explain the speedy delivery.

I'm with Kimbers. You've done them a favour and saved it from the scrappy. I bet they pi$$ed themselves when you asked for that.
