The company DarkSphere has recently been brought to my attention but until the other day I'd never heard of them before

The reviews I have found suggest they are good etc, but were all a bit out of date

Anyone using these guys right now?

I've never heard anything bad about them. I can't remember if I ever used them or not.

I think they have an ad banner on dakka if you want to click onto their store via that and help keep dakka free

I've not used their mail order but can attest to the quality of their physical shop and the friendliness of their staff!

I've never seen bad reports,

and have successfully ordered from the online occasionally

however remember mail order of pre-release/just released GW stuff is most likely to be hit by stock shortages so if you MUST have stuff on release day GW itself is probably to only really certain bet

Dark Sphere and Element Games are my usual go-to shops for online orders.

Element are usually a day or so faster but Dark Sphere are usually a tad cheaper. Never had a problem with either.

I think Element Games are run by the same people that run Total Wargamer. So unless they've stepped up their game I would avoid.

Dark Sphere are great. Highly recommend.

ok guys very helpful
As said, the feedback I had seen was all good, just a bit dated.

It'll be web orders for me, London is to far to make a visit a realistic option,
I'll give them a try when I select my next purchase

I used them, it was the best company I have ordered from.

I ordered £250 worth of kit, and it was delivered the next day.
