I buy from halfords, never had any more problems than with specialized and schwalbe. On offer, 5 for a tenner and british cycling discount, they are wrapped well for carrying, no boxes! Long stems too
halfords don't make it easy. Online shows they have the long valve ones in stock in the narrowest size. So I did not bother reserving I just nipped up there to find there are none. Even though "reserve and collect" says they will be ready in one hour. The lad tells me it isn't a problem, just reserve online and we will call you when they arrive (presumably in a few days?). So wtf are they telling me they will be ready in an hour for? In the end I spent over the £30 limit on a couple of other things and just ordered for home delivery.
Same happened last time I ordered stuff for click and collect
Halfords website stock checker fibs. It's misled me once too often and is one reason I avoid them. (Others being that they don't pay into the bike hub scheme and that their bike parking is unusably close to the wall)
