Does anyone know a good online bike shop that supplies to the UK?
I'm yet to find one that's good value, reliable, safe and efficient. Got any links?

You really do need to do a few price comparisons e.g Innovation Road Air (lightweight pump) Wiggle £19.99, my LBS £15.99. I have spotted one or two others hence only use them occasionally.

Knowing someone who runs a mail order business and charges £3.50 for orders under £30, he's very clear that it costs much more than that to get the package out the door, and the free postage orders upwards of £50 or £60 pay their way much better.
