I'm currently based in Dubai and last week I ordered some Fox Vanilla 32 R's. They arrived on my desk 3 days after I ordered them.

Price at CRC GBP 350 but take off VAT 350 / 1.15 = GBP 304.34
Add postage GBP 35
Add courier fee in UAE Dirhams 90 convert to pounds 90 / 5.4 = GBP 16.67
Total GBP 356.01

So for GBP 6.01 I got 3 day delivery from the UK to Dubai. I am most impressed.

ps My local bike shop in Dubai is the most over priced shop I've ever walked into try a small bottle of Stans sealant on it's own 40 quid! I could give more examples but I'd be here all day.

Careful you might have your LBS complaining about customers shopping elsewhere 😉

I bought those Vanillas off CRC - schweet!! Much improved handling and feel over the Floats that I had on there before.

Not quite as impressive but I have just bought some Endura Nzyme shorts from CRC. Ordered them 11:45am on Monday....arrived in the post on Tuesday. And that's free postage too! And they fit! Whoop Whoop!
