So I've purchased a few things from Bell's in the past as I live in Philly and they generally have some of the lowest prices around, so when I wanted to have a custom road wheelset built I ordered through them and put a 100 buck deposit down on the set. 6 weeks later and they won't return my numerous calls and emails, needless to say I can't recommend them anymore. Bummed that I didn't get the wheelset I wanted, even more bummed that I'm out $100.

so i live in philly and used to shop there, emphasis on "used to" because after reading this thread, i can't in good conscious support that business ever again.
personally my dealings there were all fairly legit though i do remember having one strange interaction there: my total for the parts i was buying came to something like $82.59, so i was about to put it on my card and steve was like just give me $80 cash and you don't need to pay tax and i was thinking, like, really dude, i don't think it works that way haha.

I'm having a problem with this seller right now. Ordered a crank set. They handed it off to the mail person and been in the "has left seller facility " for a week now. They run business selling bike parts then use the most inefficient shipping method. Not sure if I'll ever see my cranks as they disappeared with the mailman.

A zombie thread from 2009 about how bad Bell's Bike Shop on ebay sucks...and yet today Bell's Bike Shop on ebay still sucks!
I ordered a set of tires and the order said I'd have them in a week. That was two weeks ago. No updates..crickets.. I wish I would have checked here first, but having any issue with a seller is very rare in my experience. There's always an exception I guess..
