[Lotnik]

thanks for our answers!

what are typicall good prices for groupsets?i'm looking for 2 weeks now:
105: without crankset was aroung ~810$ / with crankset ~900$
ultegra: without crankset 1100-1200$ (today990$)/with crankset 1300$-1400$


Does it fluctuate a lot? I'm not under any time pressure and could wait if there are huge discounts!
Of course, there's currently a $70 discount with code.

At Checkout i get a 150$ Discount from ALIX for later Taxes in Germany! what are youre experiences with taxes in germany at ordering a groupeset! Is it allready prepaid as Anrancee/Yiwu Donglue are claiming? Or does i need to pay later? Or just luck because goods are declared below 150€?

1400 eur on bikediscount = 1640usd. after coupons you get ~1300usd that's a nice discount i would be willing to gamble on aliexpress personally. you can also get the groupset without crankset and brake calipers for under 900 too

Ali if you are ok to wait for 11/11 you can have further discount with coupons and points potentially.

I ordered Shimano Ultegra 8170 groupset froma anrancee cycling store 2 weeks ago. I've had 2 tracking codes that won't update. They're just created labels no package is ever sent.
The last one I got a week ago it shows in UPS and says package not received.

I even paid for the faster shipping. Does anyone had any similar problems? I've contacted the store and he said he is waiting for reply for more information. It's weird because he has such a good reputation I'd like to believe it's just some mistake.

I ordered from Anrancee as well. Shimano Ultegra 8170 about $1600, waited for coupon deal which was $-110 and the Rakuten 25% cash back. So paid about $789 USD + $15 duty. Put it together connected to E-tube and everything works well. Have put 500 km on it and no problems at all.

What is rakuten discount

[Chiyou]

Rakuten is a shopping rewards company. You install their browser extension, allowing you to get discounts when you shop at certain sites. You will save tons of money, making you rich beyond belief. In return, the extension will syphon the entirety of your private data, which Rakuten will sell to anyone who is interested, including your current employer, who will not give you a promotion on the grounds that you have a weird fetish for skin-tight clothing. You will remain eternally impoverished.

Sounds like a marriage

Guys maybe a question for you: After my Wheeltop EDS TX makes early problems i wanted to look for some DI2 components and found a set R8150/R8170 used for 470e. The account looks good (12 year old account which was used normally) and is rated very positively by other peers. Is it too good to be true or is it a realistic price for slightly used stuff?

yeah no. i guess it was a fake. Marketplace shut the account down.

Just bought a Shimano r7170 minigroupset from Yiwu donglue on aliexpress (same sellers as anrancee I believe?) for ~$600 USD shipped to Canada. Anyway, they said that the di2 battery cant be shipped with Aliexpress standard, so they are shipping with UPS instead.

Will update once I recieve it!

FYI, I am getting a $30 duty charge with UPS (I seem to always get duty charges wtih UPS or DHL  ).

Will get the groupset soon! Photos to come

I got the same thing BUT this is a very very VERY low cost to pay with UPS shipping on a $1000+ item. I dont even want to know how this is declared lol

Got the groupset! R7170 mini groupset from Yiwu Donglue on Aliexpress for about $700 USD all in (including the ~$30 in UPS duties).

The box was pretty beat-up but no visible damage to the components. Everything looks brand new. Paired up with the Shimano E-Tube app easily and upgraded the firmware without issues. Im happy

What country was that shipped to for the $30? Great deal.  Which crankset and chainrings are you planning to use?

Shimano finally got rid of the junction cable box connected to the shifters? How does it work? When did it happen? Shimano used to be outside of the price ranges i was looking at, but with these AliExpress sellers selling exactly the bits I'd want to buy at competitive priced, I need to get up to speed.

Yes - ERX copies the Shimano 12 speed design. All Shimano 12 speed groupsets (Dura Ace R9200, Ultegra R8100, 105 R7100) use this design - no more junction boxes, just cables from battery to derailleurs, and shifters are wireless. Makes the install process substantially easier than 11 speed sets.

Main tradeoffs with 105 are that you get the older style front derailleur - Ultegra and Dura Ace use a newer, sleeker design; 105 doesn't have the bonus buttons on top of the shifters; the braking doesn't use the servo wave technology (doubt this is noticeable for most); and the cassette doesn't use Hyperglide+. 105 derailleur can (officially) take a max 11-36 cassette, Ultegra/DA can only (officially) take 11-34 (but of course it will work anyway).

So, shipping was $51 USD to Canada, but I also got charged ~$21 USD in duties. Using the Magene P515 crank with R7100 chainrings.

Perfect.  Exactly what I was thinking. P515 with r7100 chainrings.  Thanks man.
