Damn! Wish I'd seen this thread earlier, I just ordered a bunch of big stuff from them.

Do they contact you before they ship with shipping charges? Surely they can't just charge you without you knowing the cost? Can they?

No mate, they don't ! . I phoned them up one day before they shipped it and they couldn't or wouldn't ! Tell me how much the shipping was. If you've just ordered can't you cancel ? they don't charge your card until they ship it and there was a two week gap between my order being received and being shipped .

I bought a lot of stuff from Jacks. Excellent reliable service and good prices! They will send by post, which has its advantages.
I got my road runner rear bumper from them, they offered door to door or door to airport. Door to airport sounded a bargain, but got ripped off by BAX Global for charges. Should've taken the all-in option door to door. Still only cost around £400 when platers were asking around £500 to rechrome (without repairs). Took a week from order to arrive at Heathrow then a week to get through customs.
