Ordered a new Santini skin suit from Ribble on September 6th, got it yesterday - very unlike them to take that long, but for a saving of 50% RRP I can wait!

I must be blacklisted on Wiggle, last 2 orders have both taken 14 days to arrive. Maybe because they are only small orders, water bottles gloves tubes etc. Just noticed their automated email now states "Goods may take upto 10 working days"

Ordered on Sunday night from CRC. Dispatched Monday, arrived Thursday - handlebars and levers. I've read on this thread about others getting stuff delivered this fast but this is the first time it has happened for me.... Yippee!!!! Was able to spend almost 2 hours in the man cave playing!!

Ordered a Record Group from Shiny Bikes in UK on 22/9. It arrived today, one day short of the guaranteed delivery date.

Best prices in the world, that I know of, for components and excellent online replies for advice on what I needed and what was in stock.

Praise be upon Shiny Bikes.

Sigh. How long is an acceptable wait for a CRC package? Usually here in a week or better, this one is up to fourteen days and counting. My build has stalled and is just taking up space in the shed

Good deals for Speedplay users at BikeBug. Most cleats are around the $35 Mark, which is better than any landed price I've seen.

My latest order from BikeBug:

Date Ordered: Sunday 30 September, 2012

Products
------------------------------------------------------
1 x Finish Line Teflon Plus Dry Lube 4oz 120ml (T00040101) (AT) $10.75 = $10.75 Product Url
1 x Speedplay X Series Cleats (13040) (AT) $34.55 = $34.55 Product Url

Received Friday 4th October. Not Sure if the Qld public holiday impacted on the delivery times.

Picked up 2x Radbots, one for me and one for Mrs C+W-very effective (which is what we need commuting on rural roads)!!! Great price.

Ordered tyres, tubes, chain and a BB from wiggle on 30/9. Arrived today (5/10) at our country PO.
Very happy, as i need to replace a split rear tyre ASAP.

Bought a Garmin 500 + Premium HR + Cadence sensor from Highly Tuned Athletes for $299. Paid for at 3pm on Monday 8/10, they had got the shipping info lodged with Aus Post within 30 minutes, and parcel arrived Tuesday 9/10.

Thumbs up!

[sparkyscott]

Highly tuned athletes is a great place to deal with - I received very similar service when I bought my Garmin GPS watch.

Not happy with pro bike kit.

Bought helmet, 5 tubes, chain lube and some water bottles early Friday 5/9. Paid more than elsewhere for the helmet as they had the colour I wanted.

Get shipping confirmation 9/9... Helmet not on the list. So I send them an email asking what's going on with the helmet...

Email comes back a few hours later... Helmets not in stock, not back in stock till mid November.

All well and good, but when were they planning on letting me know? And I mean, 3 full working days to ship is slack.

Yeah I can get it cheaper on Wiggle with their current 25off coupon. But I figured I'd try and support a local business as well as making it easier for myself with RMA if anything were to go wrong.

Look what they did there! Prices just went up!

I definitely paid $299, so did a friend from work. I read on another thread on here that it was a special, so I guess they pulled it.
