best place to buy online

[MM_QFC!]

I also buy online lots and have bought on plenty of other sites, as I'm sure that Susan and the outstanding staff at TE are already well aware of that.
I think that this forum is an amazing gift and effort that is provided to all of us and I've not only learned a ton here, but have shared plenty too and best of all have met some amazing and inspiring new friends here - TE women rule!

I also have made it a point to support TE by checking on this site first and have appreciated many of the great sales (including the current one; am awaiting delivery today of my latest purchases!) and especially the consistently superb service and speed deliveries.

Yes, I'm posting in favor of TE here, rather than highlight other sellers via this free forum, as there are some outrageous buys in the current clearance sale - check it out! JMHO, folks ~ and nope, I was not compensated nor offered any additional discounts for this post!

I try and spread the wealth, my favorites are:

TE
Amazon
Indie Bike
World Cycling
Competitive Cyclist
Pro Bike Kit
Hammer Nurtition

but I still buy from these guys once and awhile:

Nashbar
Performance
Colorado Cyclist
Terry
Bike Tires Direct
Alfred E. Bike

I'll occasionally shop elsewhere, and even on ebay a bit, but hard to beat the top list for most everything.

Pro Bike Kit likely got the most money in '08 as far as online orders, their prices are to hard to beat, but my LBS still took home the most of my cash.

TE is unrivaled in customer service, IMHO. I always look here first. If it's not here (i.e. Some Euro brands they don't carry) then I go to Ribble.uk or Wiggle.

For Campy components... PBK or Ribble.
Other stuff, I get great team discounts through my sponsor LBS.
The rest I can get on eBay.

Again, nothing on the ground or online comes close to TE service. Well, maybe Nordstrom!

mea culpa, I forgot that this forum is part of an online store.

However, that being said, I don't really buy too many bike-related things, so i guess that's why I end up on backcountry or SAC.

As for re-treating, they're Keens, and they say you shouldn't treat their leather because of their breathability. And the water's coming in from where the sole and the leather meet at the bend in the front, a really hard spot to treat.

I also shop quite a bit from iherb.com for vitamins and supplements. Even with exchange and shipping, they're often much cheaper than they are in stores here. That and they have an almost inexhaustive inventory of products.
