    Anyone ever buy anything from them and if so how long does it usually take to get to Ireland? I think my package will be shipped today at the latest and I was hoping to have it by the weekend in order to finish off my new bike.

    I buy a lot from them. Usually takes around a week to arrive.

    Thanks for that, looks like I'll be admiring my new bike without bars, pedals or a sadlle this weekend!

    You might get lucky, but the post between Ireland and the UK is usually very slow.

    Yeah I've noticed that bought a few other bits from Ribble and it took the guts of a week, seems a long time to come a relatively short distance considering the frame I bought arrived from the US in about 3 days.

    I ordered a jersey from Prendas.co.uk and it shipped yesterday at 5pm by ordinary Royal Mail..In the past I've usually got the stuff from them within about 2 days once they tell me its shipped so I would hope to get it tomorrow..

    Just phoned up these guys to see if my order had been dispatched only to be told that the saddle (which was a change from my original choice as that one was out of stock and was holding up the order) which I was told was in stock on Tuesday wasn't actually in stock at all and was holding up my order so I changed the colour to one they actually had, then got a call back to tell me the stem which again I was told was in stock on Tuesday wasn't actually in stock either, like I've heard they're usually pretty good but thats poor service I placed the order on the 23/09 and no sign of it getting shipped. I'm strongly considering cancelling and just paying the extra cash in Cyclesuperstore.
