alarm bells ringing on this one, my partner ordered a jersey and jacket off this site for my birthday and they say they have been despatched last thursday, but they havent turned up and the site are saying that they sent them via normal post and that they cannot report lost items for 15 days!

i will of course eat my strawberry flavoured hat if they do turn up

Ordered 3 items at the weekend, all arrived today.

How'd he pay? They operate on ebay as well, http://stores.ebay.c...Outdoors?_rdc=1 and obviously accept paypal that way, but I don't know if they accept paypal via the web store.

Thing with paypal is you can just open a claim, then if the seller cannot prove they sent it, you get your money back Still takes a few days, but far quicker than they are telling you. Although to be fair, the 15 day rule is correct with the Royal Snail Mail.

Hope they turn up for you

Haven't used them yet but all look spot on, got their shorts a few weeks ago and they are very good

I ordered on Sunday, the jersey turned up on Tuesday. The 15 day thing is to do with the Royal Mail, rather than the retailer. Hopefully your order will turn up...

Thanks for posting this, I thought it was only for running but you can pick from loads of sports in the settings menu including cycling

What do you guys do about mounting a blackberry on a bike? I've looked everwhere for a handlebar mount and can't find anything.

Everyone under the sun brands stuff as "iphone mount" when it could easily work for other smart phones.

Look around, you will find ones that allow you to still use a touch screen - they cost over £20 though - example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PRO-BIKE-MOUN...6184?pt=UK_Holders_Mounts&hash=item2563822f88

I have a BlackBerry Torch, which doesn't seem all that popular with mount manufacturers. There are a couple of cheap looking ones. Looks like iPhone/Samsung/Nexus/HTC are the popular ones. The Torch is much bulkier than the others mentioned so I wouldn't assume the generic mounts would work all that well.

The thickness won't matter so much, as the cases are usually padded...

Evans sale now on. Just picked up a Charge Knife saddle for 44.95........

However, because the website crashed last night with folk visiting the sale, you can get a further 10% off by entering teh code WCS10 when you checkout but be quick, it expires 28th May

I ordered one, the site crashed, I rang this morning to check the order and they cancelled that order and ordered me another for £40.49
