+taylor999 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Good morning, I apologise if a similar post has been made before, but I have had a quick look and can't find anything recent. I am looking for a good online Geocaching shop. There is a long list at http://shop.geocaching.com/default/international-retailers/#united-kingdom, and I was wondering whether anyone has had any particularly good/bad experiences with any of these (or any others)? Essentially I'd like to get a couple of good reviews for any of the shops before sending them my money! At first I just want a few travel bugs (so cost isn't really an issue, and the sites all charge basically the same price), but in future I might want to branch out into other items such as a GPS unit. Any tips would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment

+The Slaughter Family Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Geo Tees are great Quote Link to comment

+SXParx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Wouldn't buy a gps unit from them though they wouldn't sell enough to be able to offer the discounts large distributors like Handtech, Amazon and even eBay do. For GPS we have always found Handtech cheapest and really realiable Quote Link to comment
+mollyjak Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Geo Tees for me as well Quote Link to comment

+drdick&vick Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Might be worth noting that members of the GAGB get discounts from both of the listed suppliers. The details can be found in the Members Chat section. Quote Link to comment

+taylor999 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Many thanks to everyone for the very quick replies! UK Geocachers and Geotees (especially the latter) seem to be universally recommended so I will give one/both of them a go. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
