My one order from PBK that I started this thread for was smooth. Everything was in retail boxes and at my door is in about a week. We're all taking a slight risk ordering from any UK based site but if you buy a lot of stuff like most of us, savings outweigh risk
I don't think it specified whether it was OEM packaging or not. I wasn't really complaining, just offering the information to confirm the super low price I got on it.
I did open it to double check the chainring size and arm length. It was all good.
As much as I think the pricing is hurting local shops, I'll probably just order an 11 speed hydraulic disc group from them in a couple of years. It would be lower than the dealer cost+10 price I'd get at my shop, anyway.
