tires to me from inputting my order on their website. Fed Ex International. Could not find Conti 5000 TL 7000X32 here so thought I'd give them a try. Not too bad. Never bought there before.

Good to know, I've been noticing them coming up for a few google searches. Happy to hear they are legit.

Agreed, thanks for the review. I assume shipping costs weren't astronomical?

I made a few purchases from them in the past and they always satisfied. In fact, I had an order in process during the beginning of the Covid madness last Spring. It was a few hundred bucks and I wasn't that worried about it in light of everything else going on.

The package got shipped and then never turned up - lost in the mail somewhere or held up at some depot somewhere. I wrote it off as a Covid loss and wasn't taht fussed. I was pleasantly surprised to get a credit from Lordgun in October for the order.

Merlin Cycles has been shipping quickly as well via DHL...wish that I could say the same for the USPS...had a 2-day “priority” package take 12-days to go from the East coast to the PNW.

Good to hear the feedback for them. As mentioned, they've been popping up in my search results a ton too, and I'd honestly kind of written them off as a scam since their prices seem to be some of the lowest, and their inventory looks rather large. I use Merlin and PBK a lot, but will take note of this!

I've made a few purchases from Lordgun, for some odds and ends not common at other retailers, although that was before the pandemic. Never had a problem with the transactions, and delivery was reasonably quick (about a week or so). No idea what delivery is like these days, but they are a legit retailer.

Yep. Ordered a bunch of hats, tires, bar tape, etc. Shipping to Cincinnati was $28 and it arrived in 3 days via DHL.

DHL has their sh*t together. Impressive how international orders often arrive quicker than domestic from my experiences.

I order from them all the time and it’s always super fast.

I used to order a lot of stuff from Lordgun (and Bike.24 etc) but none of them will ship to the UK since The Glorious Brexit.

GimmeSerotta · #13 02-21-2021, 10:44 AM

I filed their deals under "too good to be true" without ever trying. I'll have to give them a shot!

Curious about the Conti 5K TL's too. Did you give any consideration to the 32mm Vittoria Corsa's?
