I got in contact with Cycleops. They are converting my wired Powertap SL+ into a wireless power tap for 350$.
I had it worked out through a Local shop. I dropped off the wheel on November 27, the day before Thanksgiving.
They said they might not be able to get it out until the following Monday December 2nd because of the holidays.
Our office send packages out all the time. FedEx ships on Friday and Saturday too.
Cycleops told me that it'll take a couple of days for the wheel to turnover once they receive it.
The shop told me 2-3 weeks.
I contacted Cycleops to see if they've received the wheel the week after, but they said they needed the RA number which I didn't have on me. But reassured me that it'll be a few days after receiving the wheel.
I contacted the shop late last week about it to get a status. It was through an email. I guess they weren't happy with me nagging them about my wheel.
Basically told me that they weren't making any profit off this transaction and that it'll take as long as it'll take. And they'll email me once they get any updates.
I've already paid the 350$. And when I pick up the wheel, I was suppose to pay the shipping.
Here is their email from the bike shop to me.
It hasn't returned. Sorry, I don't have an expected date. They don't give us expected dates of return. You are literally at their mercy. I realize it's been 2 1/2 weeks since it mailed out but it is out of my control. I am literally making zero dollars on this, $350 is what Saris charges, I get nothing. I'm pointing this out because there is nothing I can do to rush this process along. I also realize you are anxious but once again, I am profiting zero on this, only providing you help with it. I can't even ask them for a discount on it because I get nothing from it. I promise you I will email you immediately when it arrives.

I like using the power tap for my winter training. And haven't been able to for the last month. It's very upsetting. I'm not sure what else I can do.
How long does a service like this usually take?
I was thinking a few days to ship out, a few days at the company and few days to ship back...
