Evans - reliable online ordering?

I've never used them before, and I've just realised they have something I want in stock - but absolutely nobody else does, which rises some pessimism in me.

Does anyone know how reliable their "in stock" status is?

    I've ordered a few things and had no trouble yet. That said, they aren't anywhere near as quick as Wiggle or Chain Reaction.

    I used their site to get my AM41s I got them sent to shop so I could send back the size I didn't want with less hassle.
    Not bad delivery given it was over XMAS and certainly no stock issues.
    My only experience; though a friend recently had some Panaracer tyres delivered no problem.

    I've ordered a few things from them online, have been as fast as anywhere else, normally a day or two.
    No idea about stock accuracy but I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
    If that helps.

    cheers guys. I'll phone them in the morning to confirm, and get it ordered if they really DO have it. I'm only subious since every other retailer I've tried has had to push stock dates back.

    Yeah they are fine, a bit slower than some but their stock indicator seems alright (after I got the last 2010 9speed shifter for £19.99 just after christmas the stock level went to zero) but before that one item was out of stock and I got a phone call the same day to ask if I wanted to back order the item or delete it from my order which is better than most can manage.

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

    another confirmation here. bought clothes off them in the sale. Always fine, and reasonably quick on delivery

    Well, I ordered this morning, and they've dispatched, so yes, it really does seem that they're the only people in the UK with any Shimano M785 brakes in :D (add me to that list shortly!)

    Thanks guys.
