  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

    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.
