Let's face it, the world is changing. CRC and the like are here to stay. I ordered parts from both Wiggle and Pushys (local online attempt) on Christmas Eve. Wiggle order arrived on Thursday - three days later that included Christmas Day and Boxing Day. I'm still waiting on the Pushys order. I suspect that their staff are all on the Christmas break.
With regards to LBS, I regularly frequent Bicycle Recycle here in Vic. On multiple times I have taken in a "project" that I have attempted to complete but failed. They never complain that I am bringing in bikes that have been pieced together through online orders and we always have a nice chat. Guess who I recommend to my colleagues? Furthermore, I nearly always buy something else from them, whether it be something I just can't wait for or an impulse buy. But it helps that they have seriously good mechanics.
