I brought all my gear for about £380 when I started out, pretty chuffed with that!
Don't think I could do that now and I'm quite religious when it comes to buying gear I'd rather try everything on and make sure it fits perfectly and is comfortable.
I have considered buying a new helmet from online however, not sure it's best though.

As good as my postman is, i just don't trust Royal Mail or any other courier to treat a helmet like it needs to be, i just don't like knowing what kind of things the lid has been through before i entrust it with my brain!

I think helmets will be packed well enough if they are bought from a reputable seller. Shouldn't be too much of a problem in my opinion! Although I agree, buying in a shop is ideal, if anything you need to make sure the helmet fits properly and is comfortable. Nothing worse than a poor fitting helmet!

Forget how its delivered, it is VITAL that every part of your gear fits 100% ESPECIALLY the helmet.
I'd never buy a single piece of bike gear online, you must try it on in a shop first.
And as we were saying in another thread, you can get often get discounts in a shop. May find its just as cheap if not more so than online.

Helmet always yes, but for someone like me whose nearest dealership is £10 of fuel away (yes that is how i measure it) online is definately cheaper, i just make sure i measure myself properly and i've never had any problems with fitting
