Anyone used this company? I need some hood covers for my Ultegra shifters (mine have all turned up and disintegrated at the edges)

Apart from eBay of which I am not a member this seems to be the only place with them.

I have not heard of them before and was just wondering if anyone had experience of using them?

You can buy on ebay without being a member.

Thanks Venod, didn't know that, last time I tried it kept asking me to sign in and wouldn't let me go any further.

Not familar with OnBuy but looks like a marketplace platform a bit like Amazon. Hoods would come from a third party seller which is listed on the item page. Presumably as with Amazon you can check where they are based (quite possibly China given the delivery dates are given for mid July here for example https://www.onbuy.com/gb/shimano-st...c819cf97f&ag_idx=frontend_product_search_2000)

Use a credit card for some protection which goes without saying when buying online

Thanks vickster, they have the ones I want so will get from them.

They mustn't pay enough to Google to get a prominent position as they didn't come up on a Google search.

But my bad, everyone always recommends SJS for more non run of the mill stuff and I should have checked them first!!

I bought a cordless power washer from this company via the web about two weeks ago. It arrived a day early via Hermes (or new name). Chinese characters in name of sender but it came from a warehouse in Cannock. So good my SIL wants one. Seems OK to buy from them.
