| Have ordered loads from DC and the goods usually arrive the next day if I've ordered by around 2.30pm
I have had one lost order from them that got resolved after about a month where they resent the goods. Still don't know where the original package went, but I have ordered since and the goods arrived the next day as expected. |

| Dartscorner have a well organised site, and usually well informed on what your buying.
Quite probably the biggest range too.
Not always the cheapest but often has sales, and discount codes available.
Often stocks items other retailers dont.
Occasionally I have had items that should have been packed better, but overall been good service. |

| Just remembered - the only thing I don't like about DC is that they send all of their orders out in white bubble envelopes. The chances are very good your order will be squashed - hence why most of my Cosmo orders have not been from DC. |

| Cost of delivery to remote areas is expensive if buying anything more than flights and stems. Dart board costs almost double.....but I do like DC, well organised and well run |

| After my last experiences with the Blade 4 and Eclipse Pro I ordered a new board on Monday morning - a DC sponsored Target Pro Tour (would have prefered no sponsor name on it, but hey ho it was cheaper than elsewhere lol). I only paid the standard £1 postage so didn't think it would arrive until the weekend - but it got dropped off by the courier about 90 minutes ago. |

ditto. i'd love to be able to order their boards, but by the time i pay shipping the board would cost more than if i drove and picked one up for retail. but i've only ordered once from them and everything was great. my shipment only took 8 days to canada which is fast, ive had to wait over two weeks before just for packages from the US. like others have said; great selection, great prices (compared to canadian prices and theres discounts/sales too!), good service. i'd definitely make another order and probably will in the next month or so. |

| One thing to remember with DC - January is their busiest month so goods can take 3 or 4 days longer to be sent out than normal. Most likely due to both codes World Championships being played, plus people probably also think the 2012 ranges of darts actually come out in January as opposed to about 4 months earlier lol. |

| I have to agree that they probably have the largest selection of products out of anybody.. I us a180 quite a bit and love them but the only prob. I've ever had from them is that a lot of times they have a product listsed on their site then when you go to order it they are out of stock and no one knows when it will be back in stock.. Hence the reason why I just used DC for my last order for my Winmau Testament darts and the target points to put in them. They also offer free repointing when purchasing darts from them. as does a180! Now just to wait and see how long it will take to recieve my order.. The prices were almost identical as a180 on the darts and points that i bought.

| They are ok IMO. Shipping to the states takes way to long compared to others. And they will not ship Target darts to the US which is a deal breaker for me |

Unfortunately that's all down to Target themselves, not Darts Corner. I think it's because they have their own outlet in the US. Presumably Target have asked the other retailers not to ship their darts to the US but only DC seem to have taken any notice. |

| I totally agree - if I was after something and DC wouldn't ship it to me then I would find somewhere else to get it from.
Same with if I can find anywhere cheaper - some places you can get some great savings (eg Pure Darts on their bulk flights deals). |

| DC is the only website I have purchased darts from. They are definitely very descriptive with the darts and supplies they offer. They also tend to offer great package deals for anyone who is looking to get a starter kit. Also, shipping time to the east coast of the U.S. is within 14 days. Last, the prices are reasonable enough that you don't feel bad buying a variety of grip, barrel thickness, and different length darts.
The only bad thing I can say is that, and I'm not certain if this is a bad thing or not, there is so much to look through that it can become overwhelming for someone who doesn't already have an idea of what they are looking for. |

| Halo Darts are on holiday now until 20th - but Cosmo's is all they sell. They don't have the full range though which is a shame, but if they don't have what you want then send them an email to see if they can get it for you. Another alternative as you are in the US - AAA Plus Trains and Darts - http://www.dartsnutz.com/t205-aaa-plus-trains-darts . Don't know how long it would take for them to send to you in the US, but it's around a couple of weeks to me in the UK. |

If there is no tracking number then it may have been standard airmail, the most standard ever took when I sent something was 23 days! |

| Hopefully my darts will be in sooner than that. I ordered last Tues. got an e-mail from them on Thurs. saying my order was processed and shipped out. So normally when I do a swap from someone overseas it gets to me in about 4-5 days so we will see. Mac I'll let ya know when it gets here..
