Default Accessories Rant

What is it with bike retailers? Do they live in the dark ages?

I want a clear fabbri screen.

Can I buy it direct from the firm? No
Can I buy it direct from the distributor? No
Can I buy it from a shop? No, you have to order it.
Can I get it delivered to my house if I do? No

So I have to go to a shop and order it, and then return to the shop to pick it up?

Forget the internet, these people haven't even heard of the post!

Please, if anyone else knows where I can buy it online tell me.

my dad had the same problem ordering a fabbri screen for me, for my birthday. He never got it through, I never got my present, he cancled the order, gave me £50 and I spent that on a ticket for world superbikes at brands hatch.
