I have ordered from them in the past also for Conti tires.
I just ordered some more Gambacicli for about the same price.
My impression is they have faster shipping than Lordgun, but not sure about that.

Edit: I was wrong on the shipping, Lordgun only took 4 days to California.

Awesome prices on tires and tubes. Stupid fast shipping with super reasonable shipping charges. They don't ship Spesh items to US.

I've placed orders over $10k from them before and never had a problem. The groupsets were very well packed and delivery was very fast even though they are in Italy.

Yep, Merlin hasn't had the tires I need lately so I've been using Lordgun. I'm getting stuff in like 4 days with no problems.

Over the summer, I ordered some parts from Blue Lug (Japan) and a bike shop 3 states over. One guess which one got to me faster. 🤪

In May I ordered a pair of tires from BTD a day before I ordered a jeep skid plate from Israel and the package from Israel arrived a day earlier than the tires. It makes no sense that USPS can take so long to get from Portland to Missoula which is 500 miles. It has happened time and time again. 5-6 days seems the normal time for my shipments from BTD, it is not their fault but the carrier they use is terrible..

Ordered from Lordgun twice in the past month. First was a poor experience, second was great. Just placed a third. See below for the details.

Was turned onto the site searching for the best price on a Campy compatible Mavic freehub. First order ended up included Deda Superleggero bars and stem as well as Continental tires, Tubolito tubes, and the aforementioned freehub. Shipping took awhile and when I opened the box, six of the twelve items ordered were missing. The missing items were the tubes, and to my chagrin, the freehub. Good news was the expensive items were accounted for, but I was still out $150 and the parts needed to move forward. The box looked to have been re-taped on the bottom. I emailed Lordgun and they provided photos of the employee packing my individual order, with the missing parts clearly seen. FedEx has not yet gotten back on my claim.

Gave them a second chance, this time with tires and bottle cages. Left off any small package items from the order. Critically, I chose shipping via UPS, instead of FedEx. Can’t remember if UPS shipping was even an option for the first order. In fact, the UPS shipping was slightly cheaper. Received the order four days later with the box in good shape.

The service I received the second time gave me the faith to send another few bills their way - this time with the freehub. Hope it works out; I’ll follow up after the next order arrives. Won’t be using FedEx again any time soon if I can help it.
