Good online shop in California
A friend of mine is in California for the week to come and I want to profit of the situation to buy some cleats, since they are cheaper than here in Europe.
I'm looking for Time (Roc) Atac cleats. Please recommend a good online shop that is cheap and delivers in under a week in the Sunnyvale area. Thanks!

Any shop in in the U.S. should be able to ship anywhere in the country in less than a week. Pick a shop on the west coast and cheap shipping shouldn't take more than 2-3 days. I've had good luck with Western Bike Works in Portland, Oregon:
Time Atac Cleats at Western Bike Works
With that said, UK shops do tend to be cheaper for a lot of things, these cleats included.

Is there really a disparate price difference in cleats between OPs country vs. US? Maybe $2-3 differrence? (I'm guessing here...) Not really much of a score to ask your buddy for a favor.
If it were me, I'd get something uniquely American that's hard to get in Europe. Like a Niner, Intense or Ibis frame. Not a pair of ubiquitous cleats.
That said, online shops like CRC, Wiggle et al are cheaper than their US counterparts IME.

You can take BART to Berkeley or SF, and at a bike shop, they hand you the part,
over the counter..

Why would he want to overpay for a cleat, in a situation where he has no hope of ever seeing these people again, never mind establishing a wonderful LBS/consumer relationship?
