    good place to order a selle italia saddle?

    I am on a quest for a saddle. I've tried a couple of Terry's with no luck and am now ready to try a Selle Italia diva gel flow.

    I am spoiled by TE and Terry's return policies. Can anyone recommend a place to order a Selle Italia that has a decent return policy in case it doesn't work out?

    I have looked at quite a few online sites and have either not been able to find a return policy, or have found one like this:
    the product must be unused and/or uninstalled and complete, in its original packaging, and returned within 30 days from the date of purchase.

    Really? Unused and uninstalled makes it hard to try out a saddle.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Maybe if you order it through your LBS they can offer you their own return policy?

    Try for an ebay deal, that way if you hate it, you can post as "used once" and make some money back. I have always just kept the little leather tag on when trying, and have returned a couple that way after wiping off with a cloth, no problems. Keep the box and just be careful with chamois butter or getting it wet. I think it is Colorado cyclist that has a trial package of 11 SI and SSM saddles. Do a search on here for saddle trials. I also remember someone getting to try a bunch of SI WS saddles.

    I say go to your LBS. Even if they don't carry them in stock, almost all can order them in! They are carried in QBP, which is a major supplier that 90% of shops out there use.

    You can try Performance Bike. http://www.performancebike.com/help/returns.cfm

    I've always had good luck with them and they are one of the most reliable online sites for bicycle items.

    I think a lot of people don't realize you can order stuff through the LBS and it ends up being the same price as online when you factor in shipping charges.
