Default Kuryakyn, BEWARE!

Ordered a couple of minor items from Kuryakyn.&nbsp\\; I wanted to gethen for sure before I left on my trip, so I opted for 3 day shipping.&nbsp\\; The web site extimated the shipping cost to be $24.&nbsp\\; When the parts came and I looked at my invoice the shipping charges were $78.
&nbsp\\;
I called Kuryakyn to complain.&nbsp\\; There response was: TS.
&nbsp\\;
I will never buy another Kuryakyn part again.

Hopefully you put it on your credit card and can file a protest with the cc company. &nbsp\\;

I had a similar problem when ordering bicycle wheels once.&nbsp\\; The company said tough **** as well.&nbsp\\; I protested with my credit card company and I got the difference back.
&nbsp\\;
What the heck did you order that costs 78 dollars to do 3 day shipping.

I have ordered a several hundred dollars worth of parts from them in the last 2 months, never had a problem, but I always take standard delivery, usually about 7 days. Check your order and make sure its not your mistake, faster processing and shipping always cost more with any company. Hope you get it resolved.

I've placed at least 3 separate&nbsp\\;orders with them and never had a problem.

I would never place an order before having a firm cost for shipping.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;If you weren't given&nbsp\\;notice of the&nbsp\\;potential cost, I'd complain&nbsp\\; to the charge company and get a temporary&nbsp\\;chargeback.&nbsp\\; Make&nbsp\\;Kuryakyn give them an explanation for the shipping cost.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;I used two day shipping once and paid a premium for it.&nbsp\\; Got my item 6 days later!!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I made the stupid mistake of ordering on a Thur before a holiday weekend.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

I've never had a problem with Kury or their products.&nbsp\\; I order their stuff through Eastrn Performance to get better pricing and free shipping.&nbsp\\; Hopefully your credit card company will protect you.

Default RE: Kuryakyn, BEWARE!

The only thing I've ever ordered from Kury directly were a replacement peg mount and bolt for my forwards and that was because they don't normally sell them separately.&nbsp\\; I think I paid 30 bucks for the parts and then 15 to ship but I had no other choice.&nbsp\\; I have quite a bit of Kury bling on my bike and I like their products.&nbsp\\; But, I either bought what I have at their tent at a rally (no shipping) or online from a 3rd party and paid little or no shipping and less than retail.
