The idea of accepting mail is something that i see no harm in, as long as they are a paying member. There are certain items we will never stock so if someone wants them delivered then i really would not object. After all i think many people will be happy to buy parts from us if we are offering the ability for them to be fitted at no extra charge.
For example a un54 bb retails at £27.99 and an evans or cyclesurgery will charge £30 to fit it. So even if you price match and get the bb for £15, you still either need the bb whrench and bb reamer to chase the threads or you have to pay massive labour charge.
As a member of the workshop you could pop in buy the bb and fit it with the right tools, with someone checking you are doing it correctly.
