Lorimers is the best online company I've dealt with.

Maybe best to do a bit of research and phone up/ask online as a mystery buyer and ask questions on other helmets they have for sale and see how well they respond to your questions.

I have ordered a fair bit of gear through Morrant in the last week and can not praise them highly enough Tom, same with VSports and Barringtons. That's my experience anyway

Hi fellas,

My first ever post on here so hello to all! My favourite stockists are:-

Serious Cricket
Peter Lorimar Sports
Owzat Cricket
Holt and Haskell ( Not as good as it was but still a big reputation)
Sports HQ (Only sell CA and Woodworm gear but customer service is as good as it gets, great prices too)

Hope that helps a bit....and thanks for all the advice i've picked up on here in the last few months of being a 'lurker'!

Cheers lads...picking a shop that has a good reputation for customer service etc is obviously high on our priorities list as one that will give the right appearance when selling our products.

Top online and instore are:

really? I think they are way overpriced and when i have been in there, their chat has also been really poor! the Lords shop is expensive too (not so surprising though)

Lord's is more a prestige thing, I don't know how many helmets they'd sell during a Test match but it's nice to be in there. Fordham's is definitely in the Top 10 retailers in the country, Jon who owns it is incredibly knowledgeable but I don't know who they employ at weekends etc.
