Default Online Retailers-International

Hi to everyone,
I am interested in hearing other opinions in regard to international online stores. I have previously purchased several items from PBK (great if its in stock), Total Cycling (slow to deliver) and Parker International (good service).
No need to debate the ethics of online v's LBS. I have always aimed to support my local suppliers but price is still a consideration. Always be aware of what you're buying online!
Happy Cycling

I've purchased from PBK. No issues at all, UK to Melbourne in 4 days. Very happy with cost and service.

I recomend Probikekit as well UK to kalgoorlie in 4 days. Quicker ordering from there than shops inside Australia.

Ribble Cycles Uk is good for delivery to Oz.

Ribbles, Chain Reaction and PBK: I've used them all and they are all good,
Just depends on who has got what in stock. PBK and Chain Reaction give prices in Aussie $'s, but don't let that stop you from using Ribbles. My last order from them had Conti GP4000S tyres cheaper than the older GP4000.
