Best Online Camping Store?

Has anyone bought camping equipment online? Who seem to be the best for price/customer service/speed of delivery?

We'd like to go away next weekend, but not sure if we're cutting it too fine with the delivery and should go to a proper shop instead....

We ordered most of our equipment from a web company called camperite leisure. The chap there rang me straight after I'd placed the order to find out what colour items I wanted (incase I wanted them all to match the tent), and they were all delivered the next day. Would deffo use them again.

Have just bought some stuff from wildday. I placed the order on a Sunday evening and it all arrived on Wednesday. Prices and range were good imo, and had emails confirming the order, and then the despatch date.

Have just brought some stuff from outdoor megastore & it arrived very quickly i was very pleased with the price & the quality of the goods.

I have found wildday to be excellent. Prompt delivery, and sent a follow u[ emial to see if I was satisfied with the products etc, which I thought was a nice touch

Oh and we also ended up at the big camping store today anyway, didn't get half the stuff we needed but did somehow end up with two collapsible animal kiddy chairs?!!! Oh well, probably deserved it considering we've dragged the kids around so many places looking at folding campers and equipment

....we've just bought a tent from www.cybercheckout.com and very impressed with service. Found it via a google search (decided that we wanted to take kids camping but have no tent !!) Argos and all others seem to have sold out of everything so...found this website, looked under the tents secion, ordered it one evening...received confirmation the very next day that it had been shipped...and arrived the next day !!! Very impressed with service though still would have been nice to talk to a human...and they only charged £7.95 for shipment...which was, of course, a heavy package. Very good....

Very good service from Outdoor Megastore. Delivered our airbed and folding table in 2 days.
