- We all have heard or experienced stories relating the poor service
- received from catalog shops. I thought I'd relate a good experience
- with the above shop. I ordered two pairs of running shorts, two
- racing (swim) suits, and a running shirt on 12/15. They indicated
- that the shorts were in stock, but the rest was on order, and they'd
- send the shorts. They arrived at work today (12/17) via UPS! Inside
- was a complete description of the status of the order, including a
- statement of how much had been charged to my VISA, and what the total
- would be. Since I'd ordered 5 items, and > $100, shipping was free
- (either condition is sufficient).
-
- The catalog has everything from goggles, swimsuits, and kickboards, to
- bike pumps, cycling shorts, a $3750 Quintana Roo tri-bike, and HED/ZIPP
- disk/trispoke wheels, to just about anything you want.
-
- Phone is (800) 255-1027, 8am-8pm EST (they are in Greenville, NC). I
- don't work for them, or receive anything (but good service so far) from
- them for this endorsement.
