Anybody ever buy anything from Bikeinn.com?

Found a super low price on a Bora Ultra 50 tubular wheelset.
Bought using paypal credit, which offers me some protection.
This outfit sells from Spain. Wondering if any WWers have positive or negative experiences with them.

I once bought a rain jacket and a box of close to expiry gels from them. Arrived quickly, but can't say much for customer service as I haven't needed to use it. They do seem to be an okay outfit though, the replication of their website in all european languages makes it look sketchier than what I think it is.

I have ordered twice from trekkinn.com which is the same company. Low prices, but after a week after ordering I got an email saying that one of the items was not available anymore. Took another week before they shipped the remainder. I am currently waiting for delivery of the 2nd order which should be today, but they haven't shipped yet. And again, after placing the order not everything turned out to be available (this time I checked my order on their website, did not receive an email about this).
All in all, if they have something at a price noticeably lower than other shops, and you want it as opposed to need it, and you are not in a hurry then go for it. Otherwise find a more reliable vendor.

I had an overall positive experience with my one and only order from them late last year. I got a Fizik Arione R1 for a great price plus a few bottle cages. Shipping speed wasn't spectacular but as I'm in the US and order most of my stuff from Ribble, I'm used to waiting.

Maybe it is a strike or some by-product of the unrest as a result of the Catalon independence movement?

Ordered a saddle a couple of weeks ago. Received a tracking link within a day, but three workdays later it was still inactive. Sent an inquiry, received a good tracking link within ten minutes. The order arrived the next day, four workdays after ordering and one day after what they gave as the expected arrival date. I was pleased enough with the service this time, but seeing all the negative experiences others had, I would follow DutchMountains' advice the next time I think about ordering from them.
Well, turns out my "deal" was too good to be true.
Bikeinn just rescinded my 2018 Bora 50 wheelset order by saying it was out of stock, then suggesting it was discontinued.
Of course, you can now see the same wheelset on their site with a much higher price.
My attempt to order was worth a try, but no issue to just move on. Although they did not reply to my e-mail inquiry.

no idea, nobody has been able to offer any sort of explanation. Still waiting for my refund too...
