Off to motomail

[Big Dave]

Enough - been busting my chops for a few days straight now - I'm going to down tools for a minute go and check out the new motomail showrooms.

Half way down college hill ponsonby - opened today.

I'll take the camera.

[Finn]

Yeah I saw the shop on the way home earlier. I'll be driving past it everyday.

Gee they really went to town on the sign writing!!!

[vifferman]

Ooh! Ooh!



Nup.
Unless they've improved their range, don't see any particular reason to check them out.
I'm more interested in seeing what sort of stuff Motohaus is going to stock now that Motomail have moved and aren't moaning about the competition.

[Badcat]

yep - i'm right behind kerry.
remember kerry's support of us with tech nights as well guys...

I understood that Motomail's original store will stay put and the College Hill store is an addition. I may be wrong.

[bugjuice]

could ya grab ma new lid while you're there please?
I'll have to pop over some time and have a peek

I heard that the old store will stay open only for a while (till a new tenant is found or summat). I don't see how they can afford two lots of staff and rent, unless they at least double their turnover.
Dunno.
They're a good store, but they've slipped a bit in some ways in the last few years. Like they used to have heaps of accessories which they no longer do, and although they have a wider range of some stuff than most m/cycle shops, their pricing isn't any sharper.
I used to be quite happy to go there for almost everything I needed (clothes, helmet, boots, gloves, oil, battery, chain and sprockets, etc.) but I've found very little reason to buy anything there for quite a while. Shame...

[Badcat]

i've found them to be consistantly the MOST expensive across auckland.

Hey, they may be the most expensive in town, but boy are they slow.

[crashe]

Oh gee have they moved...?

Well thanks Motomail for informing all your clients on your mailout list... NOT.

I havent received a thing in the mail to say where the new store even is... or if there is a opening sale... and what is happening...

Now that is a great way to treat your customers...NOT.

I agree....Cycletreads are up there now....

[Marmoot]

Hey, they may be the most expensive in town, but boy are they slow.

and, for me, their service is not something to be proud of either.

I actually miss the items that they used to stock, such as Arais etc. It looks like now it is just a collection of cheap items labeled at premium prices.

[Postie]

For those who don't buy/read the motorcycle trader
Motomail moved to collage hill and opened today and the store in Kingsland is staying open as an outlet store with eveything permenantly on sale.

thats just what it said on their ad in the motorcycle trader.

[The_Dover]

I found MotoMail far friendlier than Cycletreads, but I only popped in once quite close to closing so I'll give them another chance. Especially when I need new rubber.

[deathstar]

isn't the new one like a couple of miles away from the other? now if they had one on the north shore or by me in mt wellington it would be alot more profitable
