Anyone Have any Experience with probikekit.com

I'm looking into purchasing a Mavic Ellipse Wheelset but it seems a little to good to be true. Its free shipping and its under 400 dollars for the set but I want to see if anyone has had any experience with them recently. I searched, but all the comments were from over 6 years ago.
Do you guys think its a thumbs up or down??

PBK has always had a good rep on BF. People hoard Conti GP 3000s when PBK has them on sale.

Yeah, afaic PBK is great...

They are my go to for Veloflex Master tires, and anyone looking for Campag Pista cranks should keep their eyes on them there for the lowest prices. Long as I'm here...right now they have a helluva deal on Campy 1" threaded headsets...

Dang that is a pretty good price for the wheels. Does that front wheel have a brake track?

I've purchased wheels and tires from them, would absolutely do so again. Only thing to note is that they are based in the UK and packages need to come through customs. My orders took about 2 weeks to get to me.

Great site/store. They give you a long estimated shipping time, but the stuff usually arrives very quickly.

edit: Just read post above. I've never ordered anything large, so I'm assuming that the smaller stuff gets through customs more quickly.
