  1. so far :-)

    I've just ordered a jersey from the Primal Wear factory outlet (online), for
    Nathan. Good, easily navigated site - no problem at all working through the
    various screens. Got to the screen where everything was completed and I duly
    printed this off. Then I got an email confirmation of the order - but there was
    a discrepancy on the costings. It was fairly obvious what had happened to cause
    the discrepancy, so I dropped an email off to Primal Wear about this. Within a
    very short space of time, I got a very polite and apologetic email back from
    Primal Wear which confirmed what I believed the cause of the discrepancy, and
    confirmed the correct price. In addition, and at no charge, a Primal Wear
    t-shirt whas being added to the order, which will be sent out today. If that
    comes off, now that's what I call good customer service. Very quick
    acknowledgement of the problem and immediate rectification and a decent extra
    put in by way of apology. I couldn't ask for any better resolution.

    Cheers, helen s

    Great merch too - I ordered a couple of jerseys & a T-shirt about a month
    ago and it arrived promptly & in good order. Excellent quality too.

    There should be an ``ecommerce hall of fame'', for companies whose
    website, customer service, products and the rest are all tip-top. It's
    hard to do right (although in my, ahem, 100-order experience, Amazon's
    strike rate is pretty good) but in .uk I'd say I've been impressed by
    wiggle.co.uk, heartratemonitor.co.uk (not to be confused with
    heartratemonitorS.co.uk, about whom I know nothing) and, of course, the
    utter wonderful silvermans.co.uk. You don't need any of their stuff,
    but you feel yourself compelled to buy it anyway...

    Amazon is good, but can be slow
    Amazon auctions can be 'interesting' in getting the stuff you've successfully
    bid for...

    Wiggle are good and Cycle Express are good.

    I am disappointed to find that they are out of stock of pith helmets.
    I'm sure one of those would be cooler to wear (in the thermal sense) than a
    polystyrene helmet in hot weather.

    I see they've finally got their act together on ordering from the
    website. Much improved from when I was in the US in march. Glad to see
    they are using defeet for their socks as well 🙂

    Wiggle have done well for me so far. I checked the free delivery box on
    an order on tuesday afternoon and it arrived wednesday AM. I'm pleased.

    Also happy with St John Street cycles.

    Just the thing to complement the elephant gun (affectionately known as the
    Cager Persuader) slung over your shoulder I guess... 🙂

    I placed an order for more than £50 and forgot to check the 'free shipping'
    option, tried to click 'Back' but the order had already gone through. When
    the confirmation came through by email, I replied asking if I could use the
    free shipping option as I had forgotten to select the option. They replied
    saying that my order didn't qualify as it was for less than £50. So I
    emailed them again, letting them know that my order did qualify. To which
    they replied, if you wanted free shipping, you should have checked the
    option. I emailed them again to say that was my original request, they
    replied saying my order had already shipped and it was too late to change!

    I didn't get any wine gums, either.

    It would be an interesting piece of physics homework.

    ``David has a rifle chambered in .700 Nitro Express. Balancing
    carefully on his bike with both feet on the pedals, he puts the gun to
    his shoulder and fires it forward.

    At what speed does the bike impact the wall ten feet behind him?''

    They have learned from that: I did the same recently, sent an email, and was
    promptly advised by their Notify-O-Matic that my order for one unit of "free
    shipping" had been dispatched :-D

    Up to a point, Lord Copper. A company makes a mistake and fails to learn
    from it: they are Bad Men and run a Bad Railway. A company makes a mistake
    and learns from it: they are a Really Useful Company.

    Such is my view, anyway.
