+1 ... Dealt with Chris when I bought my Lapierre Sensium. He also did my bike fit. Fantastic service, I was happy to drive from Cranbourne to Sunbury. Tyler was good to talk to for mechanical advice/info.GrumpyJohn wrote:Well as a relative newcomer to cycling and after visiting numerous LBSs in my side of Melbourne, my last stop was The Angry Butcher Bike Shop in Sunbury (formally the Bicycle Superstore)
The staff were amazing at helping me choose with no pressure, lots of advice without information overload (which is what I was suffering from prior to walking in there!!) Bruce (owner) got me on my first bike in years and since then I've been loitering in the store every couple of days buying bits and bobs. I have no affiliation with this LBS, just a local who likes to support a good business when they deserve it.
Cheers,

I truly believe Cell have an army of Automated Robots at their disposal that packs and ships their stuff out.RobM wrote:Holy cow!
Ordered 3 items from Cell Bikes at about 2:30pm on Thursday.
Amazed and impressed to say the least. Great work by Cell bikes.

First order arrived after 2 business days, second order arrived the next business day on TNT package which seems to come from taiwan.
Considering how slow they were previously, that's a massive improvement from them.
Just ordered something with their new website, but its stuck on "processing". You'd think with credit card it goes through almost instantaneously like other sites. Did this happen to you?

Ordered Garmin Edge 500 for $189 (with free shipping), dispatched an hour or so later, and received it the next morning.
Awesome work guys, and great price!

Just had my first run in with Wiggle reguarding this. Paid the extra $6 on a set of Assos Bibs. All my other order have come via DHL. This one has been sent via Aus Post? Go figure.
Currently waiting on a reply email after a live chat about what is the advantage of paying the extra post over the free if it comes via Australia post anyway.
Personal I think they have screwed up. The person on the live chat had to talk to a team member when i questioned this order vesr my previous orders.

One came within a couple of days by DHL. Fully tracked etc.
The other came almost a week later by Auspost....
Not complaining - was relatively quick for both, turned up perfect as always. just a little odd...

Saw an item in one of their online ads that I wanted, checked prices and ordered last Sunday. It arrived Thursday night.
GP4000s 25mm, Time RXS Cleats at prices comparable to UK online sites plus fast delivery and Aussie owned (I think!).

I bought a new chain and cassette from PBK and installed them myself (despite being fairly horrible with mechanical stuff ). Anyway, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the gears to shift smoothly. Gave up and took it into the shop on Tuesday morning. It was ready to be picked up all of two hours later. When I went to collect it, the guy there took the time to explain to me why it wasn't working properly, what he did to fix it and so on. Even gave me a bit of advice about my saddle position as he had noticed it when he was working on the bike.
Sensational customer service and a fantastic price! Next time I have any troubles with the bike, I'll be heading there for sure.

+1 from me - great service and very fast (& free) shipping on a wheelset I ordered last week. Called them twice with dumb questions before ordering and they were very helpful. Price was significantly cheaper than anywhere else I could find too. Wish I'd stopped by more often when I lived in Canberra!gabrielle260 wrote:A big thumbs up to Pushy's!

Wiggle Unreal delivery.

Then on Monday 11am, got back to my desk and there was a box!!
I rarely get shocked and surprised, but that was one of them moments. I thought they maybe separated the order and just sent one item locally, but no every item was there, and it came all the way from the UK. Thats literally next working day, half way around the world!! Incredible service.

I went in there looking at a track bike. Unfortunately, the manufacturer no longer has them. Regardless of that, they still gave me some useful hints and pointers.

Their service is great - under promising then over delivering. They have an incredible assortment of stuff. And they have been amazingly generous of spirit - great blokes!

I've ordered a medium size 2014 TCR SL1, Dura Ace 9000 11 speed. It's one heck of a bike.

Took my stripped frame and needed some rather awkward sizes and measurements but they managed to get me everything needed.
And were also rather quick even with a full shop.
Also excellent prices.
