AtheleteShop - Legit?

[bpsmith]

Regular Google searches, for cycling gear, come up with Althlete Shop with very competitive prices.

Has anyone used these and/or know if they are legit?

Never used them myself but from the review on a few sites they are either excellent or very poor

I've used them a couple of times. No problems.

My normal criteria before deciding whether to deal with an online retailer is that they should have a contact phone number, street address and a bricks-and-mortar presence verifiable on Google Maps.

Athleteshop meets all those.

They are competitive until you factor in postage which is quite high compared to others.

Much of it seems to be posted from the Netherlands (NL Post is expensive).

Legit. Reportedly a bit slow at refunds but I've not tested that on my two purchases in two years.

Cheers everyone. I had t got as far as factoring postage, so that's a very good point.

Will bear them in mind for future purchases then.

I have used overseas companies a few times, but the poor pound made me question this time, as others are no longer competitive.

Yes fine. Was well cheap for my missus hot tub supplies

Factoring in post, 2 filters cost £10 in the UK, by buying in bulk and adding in the £7 To £10 post 20 filters worked out at £25 - yep £2.50 per 2 filters, a quarter of the UK price.

Can't argue there!
