    The international number for the CBA merchant enquiry line is +61 2
    9768 1046. Let's see what happens when Performance discover it's not
    a 24 hour line.

    They claim they were "were not able to reach an operator at the
    number you provided". In the meantime my package from AEBike arrived
    today.

    Day 14. I cracked the [censored] with them two days ago and insisted on dealing
    only with a manager who could solve my problem. (My tolerance for insincere
    apologies is not unlimited.) Performance's response has been two days of
    silence. Maybe I will need to resort to the snail mail letter to the CEO.

    Performance tried to tell me they did contact the bank and that the CBA
    refused to confirm my billing details. Either they gave the wrong
    information to the bank or they are lying. I'm now pressing them for
    details so I can follow up with the bank but they have gone silent again. I
    think they think I'll go away. I think I'm going to give these [censored]
    hell until they start treating me reasonably.

    If you live in the USA, Performance is a good company to do business
    with. I have had many transaction, including returns, and warranty
    exchange. I have always received good service.
    Apparently they are not set up to deal with international orders and
    would be better off, just refusing them.

    So, if you are in the states, buy with confidence.
    I don't work for Performance, I am just a satisfied customer.

    Life is Good!

    Their international group works from a different manual, the one written by
    [censored] Inc. They are going out of their way to be as unreasonable, as
    unhelpful and just generally as difficult as possible. They couldn't treat
    an American customer like this or they'd end up staring at the wrong end of
    a shotgun.

    Because they have one product I cannot get anywhere else and because they
    need a kick up their collective [censored].

    Good luck, but they're not likely to listen to a lone voice.

    Performance can make this amicably go away any time they want.

    There's a stack of sleeveless jerseys in Sale
    section of probikekit. Probably not the same
    thing though..
    I thought probikekit used to sell team kit?
    They only seem to have their own brand stuff
    and not a wide selection.. I want knee warmers
    in a few colours other than black..

    I don't buy team kit. And "International delivery charges for orders sent
    to countries outside the European Union is charged at a flat fee of £12.00
    regardless of order value." USPS is closer to USD12 for something as light
    as a sleeveless jersey.
