I've never bought anything from Stif and I just wondered how they compare with CRC/Wiggle etc on delivery ?

    Stif are not pricey, they just offer stuff for sale at the manufacturers RRP, they don't overcharge, price shaggers like CRC etc undercharge. Remember, Stif are a bricks and mortar LBS offering sound advice and great service, not a faceless internet shop.

    ..they quite often have offers on anyway...

    Good service from them, knowledgable staff, great range of stock.

    Ive never had any problems with them and ive put some large-ish orders their way.

    And their stickers are pretty cool. 8)

    they are my local LBS but I tend to use their mail order because I can get it delivered to work (makes life a bit easier).

    I ordered a Fox helmet yesterday via the website and it arrived this morning.

    I rate them highly, although as mentioned, they are not always the cheapest.

    However, the support you get and resolution of any problems is generally far higher than CRC & Wiggle, given that it's a small team of dedicated staff.

    I've only ever bought clothes from them but they were quick and have a feel of being good people.

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:

    Service is goodbut can be slow to update website - Have cancelled orders before as stuff has been out of stock when shown as in stock on the website.

    +1 These guys are great . . . Ordered a bag could'nt get stock asked which bag I wanted because they could'nt supply the first and sent a bag that cost £10 more no questions.

    Use regularly delivery in 3 days usually and often do deals on mosrt things its just a case of watching the site.
