Live in BC Canada and our archery stores for limited for what I want. Has anybody used Alternative archery in the UK?
Stuff is in US dollars and shipping adds up but still cheaper. Rather buy local if I can find it. But might need to use them.

I used them years ago. At that time the prices were great. The items were good quality. The amazing thing about them was their unbelievable shipping. I'd get things from the UK in less time than from Cabela's.

Have used them quite a bit over the past few years, nothing but good things to say... Lots of times they have items not normally found locally; other times they simply have better prices [there was a time when an arrow I liked was routinely $80/doz cheaper through Alt Services, genuine products, but I think the arrow manufacturer did something about the deal as now in other places they have "overseas shipping restrictions]; and shipping is often faster than I can get things through Lancaster.

Keep your orders under $800 otherwise you trigger import tarrifs for the US, double check your regs for BC.

Alt Services is awesome! They have tons of ILF risers and limbs at amazing prices. Can't beat their prices on Uukha limbs. Shipping is pretty cheap and crazy fast. I live in Indiana and it takes under a week for stuff to arrive. As others mentioned, they ship me stuff faster than Lancaster can which blows my mind. Glynn the owner is super nice and customer service is top notch. You don't need to have any hesitations on ordering from them. They are legit!

Have ordered from them several times over the last 5 years. I even ordered from them and Lancaster on the same day. I live 200 miles away from Lancaster Archery and I received the order from the UK before I got my LAS order.
Just make sure that what you want is listed as “in stock”.
