Thanks for heads up Krasnos. FWIW I've bought a number of items from Bike Bandit and they all arrrived okay. I sort of got screwed on shipping charges on a windshield that I ordered from another company (they're on here somewhere) whose mounting holes were misdrilled, and whose packaging tore loose in the box arriving minus a few parts. They also had a "no return" policy, but "policies" are, if they conflict with the law, bullshit. If you take someone's money and then do not deliver what you promised, it's called fraud, no matter what your "policy" is. I had a chat with the owner and I got most of my money applied to a second windshield. For 200-300 bucks or whatever it was, it wasn't economically feasible for me to sue these guys, but I intimated that I could be more trouble than it was worth not to credit me with a return.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, you could start a Facebook group called "Cheap Cycle Parts Are a Bunch of Thieving Bastards" or something that more accurately captures your experience. That might get their attention.
