Heads up - Decathlon & Knifecenter
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2016 11:43 am
Folks, here are two heads up. Many of you might have noticed this, please accept my apologies. For those who haven't this is an alert.
1. Decathlon now has a B2C license for online sales. Which simply menas that yo don't need to have a business to buy its products online. So people outside the few cities where Decathlon is present can also buy their stuff. From personal experience, I would still advise trying the sizes, as they use EU measurements, and EU "average model" for the apparel. They do seem to have a decent return policy, as it appears from the website.
2. Knifecenter now ships only though iGlobal. This adds on really obscene shipping costs & duties. A few of us actually cancelled a recent order - the shipping would have been nearly 25% of the order value, plus the USD/INR conversion used by iGlobal was about 20% higher than the market on that day, and the duties would have been about 12.5%.
This effectively stops a great source of blades, at least for me!!
