MacB turned me on to them. Scary cheap compared with UK webshops. Different league to lbs. Two of my local ones just say "Buy it off them, I can't get it that cheap, and we'll fit it for you." Cheap as in "How do they do it new at that price?" enough to make you suspicious cheap. Very fast delivery. Never had a problem so no experience of aftersales but EU wide warranty rules/laws are your friend. Even though the UK distributors probably hate them.
As User482 says Rose are also good, but I find their p&p can be a bit tasty.

As an avid buyer of bits I can reveal tehre are four German sites worth browsing for comparison. They often compete, and sometimes some will have an item for a bit less, then the rest follow. Best example this last year has been the Reverb dropper posts which retail at £299,but can be bought for about £175 delivered from the Fatherland, including the £30 option bleed kit.
Check out Shimano drivetrain and brakes as the comparators... how about a complete SLX groupset (no brakes) for £200... and that's this year's 3x10! Another example is you can buy a pair of SLX brakes for about £112.00, that's a pair, where they sell them for that each at CRC. Only difference is the levers/hoses are the wrong way round so need swapping when they land. I was about to press the buy it now thing on a pair, then realised that with the reduced shipping costs of a bigger order I can have the M785 XT equivalent brakes for a fiver more. Rude not to.
If you're looking for stuff check the folowing sites. I will also say I have heard no negative feedback from any of them.
Roseversand.com (or .de) (cheaper shipping for orders over 150E)
hibike.de (cheapest Reverb at the moment)
actionsports.de (check out whole groupsets!)
bike-discount.de (amazing deals on Schwalbe tyres, groupsets and brakes)
all of the sites have english versions, some even tell you the prices in sterling.

Can't recommend enough. On the basis of a post I started I ordered 3 items. I only say this to help ease your mind and not sound like an arse but I bought some very expensive items and they arrived perfectly packaged within 48 hours. truly excellent site and thanks to cubist for the heads up on the other sites too!

I was a little apprehensive with some of their too good to be true prices and being outside the UK, but gave them a go and was impressed. Only used once, but fast service and decent order tracking once youve dug it out of the german pdf invoice 
No idea on their returns either.
I liked that they shipped the "M+ Tour" tyres in a big box rather than folding them up too.

Thanks Cubist, top tip there! I had been looking at bike-discount.de but hadn't tried Rosebikes.
I just bought some new Sora 3500 STI's this evening for £85, UK list price is £160 and the cheapest I had found them in the UK was from Parkers International for £115. Thanks for the pointer.

The brakes ordered on Friday evening have arrived. That's less than five days including a weekend. Awesome.

Is the shipping a low standard costs or are you hit with import charges. I'm after a crankset but can't believe it'll only cost £22 delivered

Holy cow, a shimano m191 complete crankset and front derailleur plus a kmc x8-99 chain for £32
Better than the price, you can't buy this crankset anywhere anymore so now I have a direct replacement without any of the chow, happy days
