Hi Folks, I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this post, but here we go

I recently bought some decals for my 08 kona coilair and used this firm, based in Uruguay of all places.

http://www.bikesdecals.com/

I paid about £20.00 all in and they took around 10 days to arrive, well packaged good quality decals with minimum hassle, not 100% correct for my bike but close enough not to worry.

Highly recommended and very helpful people, at first they did not list my year Kona so I.e mailed them and got a reply back within 24 hrs telling me they had uploaded the decals for the 08 Coilair and that I could order online, paid by pay pal.

I will definatley use them again and it saved me alot of hassle

:D:D

    Or you could just contact Owen at SlikGraphics, UK based, cheaper than the U R Gay place :lol: , you don't have to worry about prices..ie exchange rates going up and down. Recently got a set of ZTR Olympic decals for my hoops...£11 posted and got them within 4 days. Nuff said.

    Would of been nearly double the price from Johnny foreigner.

    Well i've been trying to get decals from slikgraphics for months. The closest i've got is an email saying they're too busy atm. Sounds to me like he's cherry picking for easier work and more money. Very bad customer service if you ask me.
    Never put off until tomorrow something that you can do today. 'Cause if you do it today, and like it, the you can do it again tomorrow!!

    Emailed with my request, got a reply with a couple of hours, replied with decal info - colour match the blue on my frame, replied with price, paid and got decals..no probs for me, first time I've used them.

    Depends on what you wanted really, if they already have a template then it should be no probs, but if its something they have to make..ie photoshop graphic files in true vector format with all correct dimensions, then that will take time to do.

    It's obviously not consistent bad service then. Which points more to the probability that he's just picking what jobs he wants to do, which is fair enough, but he could at least acknowledge his customers.

    Thats fair enough... I wasnt comparing them to anyone else just trying to give an honest review of a company, i'm sure silk graphics do a very good job

    Hi folks.
    Just wanted to comment to you that I have also got stickers in

    http://www.bikesdecals.com

    They were fast and the stickers are of good quality.
    I've got the alpine ZTR decals. They cost me $ 19 (dollar us).

    The most important thing to say about this web site is that there you can get the stickers you need, even if they are nott listed.

    You can ask to make these decals for you and in a few days you have your order.

    Good service.
