As per their FAQ
We use the same materials and manufacturing processes as the big brands but our overheads are much lower. We ship direct from the point of manufacture to our customers. We donāt need to store wheels or hold stock. We donāt sell through a long list of middle men - each taking a percentage. We donāt spend a fortune on advertising, or marketing. We donāt need all the staff that go along with these processes, we donāt need the offices to house the staff, or the equipment to allow them to do their jobs. In short, weāre small and agile!
And
Yes, we ship for FREE to every country in the world (Including APO/FPO/DPO addresses). Shipping takes 14 ~ 21 days, on average. Occasionally it can take a few days longer do to delays by the shipping company, but usually youāll get your wheels in 14 ~ 21 days from the time you place your order.
Are you trolling?
Also āstuck in Chinaā is doubtful. They are probably on a boat on the way to your continent and the tracking is just showing the last known location. Thatās why you canāt get a refund without returning the item. Amazon would say the same. You simply canāt cancel an order mid-shipment.

You said your order has shipped.
All I said was that Amazon (or any other business) will not let you cancel an order that has already shipped.
Iām not trying to deny the facts of your experience. Iām just saying that maybe your expectations were set a little high. Iāve dealt with a few of these super low overhead direct-from-China type of businesses and your experience sounds normal to me. The product always eventually arrived in my case.
What annoys you about this?
I know this doesnāt help your current predicament, but the learning in all this is that sometimes it is better to spend a few more dollars and buy a reputable brand from a reputable dealer.
Iād never throw wheelset money at a lottery like this, especially not one named Tokyowheel. Sounds suspect to start with
Nah. There are much better indicators for fraudulent business then the name unless you are implying something else?
Nah, nothing between the lines.
I just wouldnāt dump my hard earned into this, with so many more, letās say, better known options to go with.
That makes sense to me. Wheels are the 2nd most important part of the bike after the frame. However, there are lesser known options that can give you excellent value and more customization options. For example, I have had really good experiences with this one:
So, you would base your buying decision based upon a name, and then make disparaging comments of a company just because you just donāt like the name?
Each to their own, chief
My main issue, as I mentioned in my first post, would be that I would be reluctant to sink money into an unknown. Especially an unknown on a different continent.
Call me a slave to fashion, but Iād much rather get something I know from someone I know.
Seems you got all bent out of shape with my use of the word āsuspectā?
is a completely different message to
which I 100% agree with
So this is not suspect? Thatās a pretty bold claim
Maybe itās just me, but personally I donāt rate his chances of securing that 110% refund if they arenāt faster than his current hoops.
Hopefully heāll get to put them through their paces when they eventually get delivered to himā¦
Maybe you would be interested in the reviews of others?

Do you work for Tokyowheel?
Man, you beat me to it
