You've obviously gotta trim them to suit etc, so yeah, what a legend!

My Limar 909 helmet padding was falling apart after only 4 or 5 months use.
I emailed Limar and they promptly sent me a set of replacement pads at no cost.

Ultimatly have gone with a Scott Foil; he's now allowed me a very generous repayment schedule because of work commitments and still keeps in touch regularly. Add to that an invitation for the weekly shop rides and some personal training for both road and bunch riding.
If in Darwin, go see Blue Cycles. Overall I'm amazed at such service, let alone in Darwin.

Highly Tuned Athletes. Always ship the day I order from Melbourne and I receive in Sydney the following day. Only exception have been GoPros which in each case were pre-orders. As soon as they were receive by HTA I got them the next day. A good example of an Aussie store, providing great service.
Cell Bikes. Few things from them ordered yesterday and arrived today. All good.
Chain Reaction. Largeish order received on the 6th business day.

Yeah cell bikes orders always seem to come really fast (under 24 hours) just wish they would get rid of their inflated shipping charges ($10 to ship something 20km to my house vs free wiggle/evans shipping from half way round the globe). Having said that its free shipping this weekend from Cell Bikes!AUbicycles wrote:I was procrastinating for a long time on some gear cables and used Cell Bikes for the cable (kit) and some inner tubes. The order was fulfilled within hours and arrived the following day in just under 24 hours.

Save some time shopping for books with Booko.com.auRoss wrote:Purchased a book online from Book Depositry just before Christmas and even with the holidays it still took just over a week to get here. Cheaper than Amazon (not always though, pays to double check) and free shipping with no minimum spend.

Got my email yesterday saying it was posted and tracking details are available from my account. Went and looked and they have posted it DHL
Now to photograph it when it comes, I want no DHL scam

I've yet to have it, I always photograph boxes anyhow. I know what customs does when they open up a box anyhow, customs tape and a flyer inside saying it's been inspected. If DHL come calling and no sign of former evidence of opening by customs, sorry no go.

I was very surprised by their quick turn around. All products were well packed and bubble wrapped. 1 minor issue was a rubber shim was missing of a product and single email is all it took to get that resolved ie they will ship it to me.
My first order with them.

To cap things off the price was very right.

I only needed one follow up visit to get 5mm cut from the top of the seat post.
