I ordered two items from BikeTart this month: a bike and a set of handlebars. The main reason I chose BikeTart was the price, which is probably why most people shop there.

I've seen a lot of reviews mentioning late deliveries and items not being in stock. What people need to remember is that BikeTart isn't a huge global operation like Amazon. I also read their terms and conditions before ordering, and they clearly explain the difference between items that are in stock with them and those that are supplied by a third party.

Both of my orders took about a week to arrive, but once they were dispatched, they were sent via next-day delivery. I have no complaints about the service. I paid less than I would have elsewhere, and I'm happy to wait a week if it means saving money.

If you need your order within hours of placing it, then you may be better off shopping elsewhere and paying the premium for that level of service. As for me, I'm happy to wait a little longer and keep more money in my wallet.
