just found a post with this site on. why r all the good deals have to be done online

if i drive the 150mile round trip to a shop to buy somthing they should at least charge the same as if i sit here on my @rse drinking coffee

the shop wants to charge me twice as much for going to their shop to look round
+ the fact that it will cost in petrol

stupid f$*%ing shop

Because it's cheaper for them to run their business online, so they want to encorage you to use it?

Stupid thread.

Except that you should probably try things on as per lids, leathers/back protectors and gloves before buying.

... Best bet is to go to a shop near you to try things on and order online I guess.

Have you actually contacted the nice folks at J&S?

If you NEED to try something on to make sure it fits right, lids, leathers etc etc, then give them a bell. Ask them if they've got the item(s) in stock, and go try them on.

Makes no odds to them to seel them at internet price or at shop price, but it costs them more to get stock to the shop from a warehouse, so they put the prices up a little.

This is what I do, and I take along a printout of the price I saw it on their website. I go to the shop (which is also their HQ) and pay the t'inter-web price.

Simple really.
