I'm looking for a Garmin 910XT and Simply Electronics keeps popping up, 70-80 quid cheaper than Wiggle.

Has anyone used them before and would you recommend?

Thanks
Matt

I think I was looking at getting an ipad from them, but they hid on their site that they're actually in Taiwan.

I bought a lens for my sony SLR, it took approx two weeks to arrive and was for the American/Canadian market. But I was happy with it
There are a lot of complaints on Google about them, but if you don't wantit in a hurry then it's upto you
I'd tread carefully and do some research first

As stated, they source/based abroad. So as long as you have an international warranty, and there is nothing technical that wouldn't work in this country, you should be ok.

Does it definitely come with the HRM?

Dont would be my advice, I went on line and they came up best price for a camera
Here are a few of their emails that followed-

Thank you for your email.

Our prices change frequently, sometimes even daily, depending on the demand and supply of the products. Please note however that the price that is displayed on the website at the time of placing the order is the price you will be charged.
[b]Not now in stock but give us more money and we will send a different coloured one[/b]

In reference to your order placed on 10 Feb 2014 for:

Canon PowerShot S110 (Sliver) Digital Camera

I regret to inform you that it is/they are currently out of stock. Demand for this/these item(s) has exceeded our expectations and our inventory is depleted.

Unfortunately, the next shipment is not expected to arrive within any short period of time. If you need this order sooner, we have the item in black color as well.
[b]Omitted the fact they wanted more money.
[/b]

They took the money out of the account instantly but took 2 weks to put it back.

Not quite the £70-80 cheaper than wiggle you're looking for, but £9 cheaper and get a free bike mount at my [url= http://www.summittosea.co.uk/garmin-forerunner-910xt-multisport-gps-watch-with-hrm.ir?cName=canoeing-kayaking-kayak-clothing-accessories-vhf-gps-plb-gps ]LBS[/url]

Or Handtec are UK based, and usually pretty cheap for Garmins.
eg they have the 910XT with HRM for £267 plus £5 postage. http://www.handtec.co.uk/garmin-forerunner-910xt-910-hrm.html
Or £224 without HRM: http://www.handtec.co.uk/garmin-forerunner-910xt-910.html

So its probably cheaper to buy it without the HRM, then buy that separately if you want. Plus you can make sure you get the latest version of the heart rate strap.
