Coker tire has Schwinn tires on sale free shipping ending midnight tonight!

[SirMike1983]

Since COVID disrupted the supply for tires, I've only been buying tires from a couple stores that I trust. I usually get mine through the BikeSmiths or Wheel and Sprocket in the USA, or Wiggle in the UK. They seem to account for their tires pretty well and keep up with what they have in stock.

There seems to have been a problem since COVID with stores saying they have X number of tires in stock, but then they don't actually have it (or account wrongly) and then refund a bunch of people. It was like that with white wall Kendas for Schwinn 3 speeds early after COVID hit.

There was a mentality among some shops (I think it's still there to some degree) that you can play fast and loose with stocking information and then "blame it all on supply chain" or "blame COVID" if something goes wrong and you have to refund.

So what they had one pair? I like how they sent me a survey before the order was filled. Usually don't take the time but think I will this time around.

Just received my notification as well. Yep I’m doing the survey!

Same here. Glad I didn't fill it out yet, now I have some feedback for them.

It looks like the "Sale" ended before midnight.

We live in the digital age so you think most companies would have automation in place that shows "discontinued", "sold out", "back order", etc... when quantity on hand goes to zero.

You would think so
Also you would think they could refund as fast as they collect instead of a minimum of 5 business days

So far no refund notice for me but we'll see...anyone else received a refund notice?

No, only the survey.

Anyone get a tracking number? They probably didn't expect to get so many orders. But as automated the order process was you would expect the inventory tracking would be similar.

After all the attention, they might decide to make some more of those crappy tires.....
