Have picked up some FI Uno shorts for 100, legwarmers for 40 and airprotect ll tights for 135.

I think that is a pretty decent haul.

    Shorts and legwarmers from Ribble (online).

    Tights from Cycle Surgery. Not sure what stock is like online (deal is available but they have run out of mediums) so picking up in store on a call, reserve and collect job. I think these are usually upwards of £180.

    Might be the same place where I've just bought an 851 AirJack for £158 :D

    They did have 20%, now down to 15% (probably due to VAT increase?)


    They had some good bargains on Assos. For instance - I got my legwarmers there for £36. Will be more expensive now though.

    I just shoplifted some Assos shorts from Primera!

    I put them in my basket then left without paying.

    Also got an Uno Jersey from Primera for £64 and also a few bits from ribble with 20%..

    Thankfully I got most of my Assos kit years ago in sales that were alot cheaper than they are now.

    Buying a couple of pairs of Assos socks should remedy that :wink:

    has anyone received anything from primera since christmas? i ordered an airjack 851 jacket but i'm a bit sceptical about their stock levels given that they had all colours in all sizes showing. they said they would post stuff on tuesday and as yet i've not had an email confirming postage or that its out of stock

    i'll give them a buzz tomorrow.

    I e-mailed them today and they told me they haven't dispatched my order that I placed on the 27th. They said it would be processed shortly. They also said they have had a "huge volume of orders over the xmas break and are working flat out to process everything"

    So after 2 working days back, they still haven't got to my order in the queue.

    I was charged on the 27th though.

    Slater, some might wonder if they are taking orders prior to buying the stock in . . . :?

    Taking payment before the order is ready to dispatch is against the rules I believe.

    i ordered mine xmas day so i should hopefully be before you (and everyone else who ordered after me) in the queue. i'll let you know if/when mine arrives, but as i said no despatch email to date and i was also charged on ordering (per their T&Cs)

    I got a call from them today teling me that they had no stock of the items I had ordered and they were expecting more stock in Friday / Monday.

    Looks like they have been overwheled with orders but was good of them to pick up the phone rather than send some crappy e-mail

    Likewise, I ordered some Assos bibshorts on 27th, but heard nothing to date.

    Does anyone know if they normally send out an email prior to dispatching it?

    some positive news re primera... i received my large blue airjack today which i ordered on xmas day, so they must have at least some stock for people who ordered early.

    No they do not send an e-mail prior to dispatching. (I didn't get one anyway)
