jejames cycles website anybody bought from them?

I've been thinking of buying from them via web BUT;
Tried contacting them via email a number of times and it just bounces back (on 2 different mail accounts).
Phone just rings and rings and rings.
Does give me the greatest faith...if something is wrong with my purchase it could turn out to be a nightmare!
Anybody dealt with them via the web?

I've used Wiggle successfully but I much prefer actually going into a decent bike shop (NOT evans) - I may buy more than I need but at least I can check the item for form, fit and function before I part with the hard earned clams.

Try "another cycling forum", ctc forum, cyclechat or bikeradar for reviews of jejames - they're not all as friendly, populous and comprehensive as this forum but they are UK specific.

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!

Both web and in store...

Just bought my new bike from J E James, the staff are really knowledgeable and helpful, I had a problem with a light I got from them, I returned it and got a new one back within 4 working days!

Nearly always get through on one of these numbers

01709 538374 - Mail Order Hotline
01709 538378 - Road Bike Dept
01709 538375 - Workshop Cycles

Although when I actually went in person I saw how busy they were!!

apparently they're in the process of changing email servers-hence it being crap, they assured the website was under a different server.

i bought a complete super record 11 (minus front mech) from them, they knocked me £100 off the groupset price) which arrived very quickly well packed etc, and i also went into their shop, which is full of goodies. the guys there are very helpful, true yorkshire folk like!

Needless to say i would and do shop there again.......

Can't remember exactly what I've had from there but it's been a good service each time.
