If Carlsberg ran sports retailers...This was my second purchase from Barrington Sports, and I am wondering how any of their competitors have managed to stay in business. Running an online retail business doesn't sound that hard - offer low prices, show what's in stock, ship quickly, sort it out if it goes wrong. However, Barrington stands head and shoulders above everyone else in this business who mostly manage to cock it up entirely, and Barrington is now my "go to" retailer for sports equipment and apparel.Only two real quibbles with this experience: first, my order was shipped in a large heavy duty plastic sack but one of the items (a pair of Oakley sunglasses) got bashed about so much that its cardboard box was very heavily damaged. It was only cosmetic and the goods inside were fine, but if I had wanted to give the item as a gift then I would not have been able to do so. I wrote to Barrington explaining what had happened and got a speedy response indicating that individual Oakley orders were normally shipped in their own small cardboard box and they would take my comments on board.The second issue is that for many cricket items, such as left handed gloves, they are out of stock long before the end of the season. To be fair, this is not a problem unique to Barrington, but it's frustrating nevertheless. At least with these guys you can tell on the website that there is a stockout, unlike certain other online retailers which take your money for non-existent goods and then refuse to refund.All in all, I cannot recommend Barrington enough. Pricing is an especially strong point and easy to measure against the competition, but the quality of customer care has to be seen to be believed. Try them first!
