Which diamonds stand out on the internet for your money?

[Gandahar]

I was thinking about this tonight. My ISP is Zen Internet and they are expensive and not the most bang for buck amount of data wise but they really come into their own when you ever ring them up, when you have a real problem. So I sort of pay insurance. And they have always sorted me out without pain.

So for me they are a diamond.

Another diamond is NeedleSports in Cumbria. They do all that mountaineering stuff. I can't remember how I found them but I have been ordering bits and bobs for years and nothing has ever gone wrong. I don't even mountaineer, I used to do kiting and now do dog walking! But I just ordered again from them for some waterproofs and head torch.

They are a diamond too.

What's your diamond? I know there are review sites all over the place but you never end up knowing if it is planted good ones or sour grapes.

HUKD and Xhamster.

I have no idea what you mean by "a diamond".

If you're asking for financial advice I recommend that you fully invest in rare Pepes.

So basically 'what websites do you like using'?

What's all this diamond rubbish?

You're a gem, OP.

www.hackettwatches.com - A PHer and all round top bloke. If you're after a new watch, then speak to Dom first. Excellent prices and service - He can source pretty much any model you're after!

Alternatively, www.chainreactioncycles.com is pretty good for anything mountain biking related. In fact, prices for their products are usually cheaper than the trade price to your local mountain bike shops. I don't like the fact that this means it's hindering the sales of local stores, but the choice and availability offered by CRC means it's normally my first port of call ...

... or www.tartybikes.co.uk for the more specialist stuff!

Trial rider represent! Tartybikes are pretty much the ideal online retailer.

What?

[P-Jay]

I see Chain Reaction are already covered, frankly most of the Cycle Related sites set the standard for online shopping.

Superstar Components for selling their own line of insanely cheap cycling bits, excellent customer service and free sweets with every purchase.

Netflix for being some how able to stream films and TV in perfect HD when YouTube can't on my crappy 4meg home broadband.

Youtube and google mostly

So which websites offer good customer service then?

Doesn't matter if it's porn or real life - you still end up getting a virus in the end,

It won't help in the UK, but fjellsport.no is a good one for stuff when they have sales. Sport Conrad in Germany is also good for ski stuff (and often worth it for the UK too).

I've never used a website to buy anything that hasn't been a good experience, you pay your money, they send the goods and you don't ahve to deal with the great unwashed in town, perfect.
