Has anybody ordered items from this place? I'm surprised that they haven't been mentioned yet.

I've had excellent service with Price Point. Items get shipped very fast (they are located in California and I am in the Midwest and I get my stuff within a couple of days). They have great deals, too. (I got a "last year's model" $80 Bell helmet for $29.95, for example). I have been ordering from them since 2001 and never had any problems with them, they're very reliable. I really recommend them!

I'm not sure but I remember they started out with mainly mountain bike stuff with a "token" road presence but of course now it's in equal amounts (road and mtn).

Yeah, Price Point is great. My favorite online retailer so far. Well, for mountain bike goods. Nobody can beat NewEgg!

Price Point gets the great majority of my business -- heck, right now I'm waiting on a shipment (UPS weather delay)!

The ONLY thing I would say is a word of caution about the Sette house brand -- the shoes I ordered from them, same price as what I paid for my 661's before (nobody had my size when I went to replace 'em!), but they never fit as well, and they have lasted half as long -- about to be retired. Now the seatposts have been good....

For a dissenting opinion - My one experience a few years ago with them was terrible. I was trying to finish building a bike and ordered some parts from them, one of which was a headset. The parts arrived minus the headset, which was out of stock. I tried contacting them to change my order (I really needed to get the build done) via email about 20 times (honestly) and the only way I was able to get a response finally was to email their human resources contact and plead my case to have someone respond to me. I've been at this game for almost 30 years and have dealt with a lot of folks (good and bad) and Price Point is one outfit that will never see a dollar of mine again and I take every chance I can to tell others about their amazing lack of customer service.

Price point is a great place to order from. Not the greatest selection, but killer prices and good CS.

Always get my tubes from them and occasionally other stuff. Have always offered great service.
