generally ok but i made an order ages ago and they sent out all but one thing as it wasn't in stock, a month later it turns up and they'd charged me for it with no notice, bit harsh i thought.

Minispares GP 5 fucking spangly superduper bells and whistles best quality ever arches are shit. If I could be bothered, I would have got trading standards onto them. They looked like they had been on a rally car. I thought "Someone is having a laugh"

I ordered 7.5 disks from them and got 8.4's TWICE FOR CHRIST SAKE.

The man in charge is a pirate if you ask me.

Bugger off, I'm getting there.

Generally speaking i find minispares to be quite good, but i only ever order from the north branch as they know what they are talking about. Think the southern operation suffers from having staff who wouldn't know clutch from a crutch.

Have to say though that i've had to pull them up on some quality issues on a couple of products a few times. Not directly the fault of minispares, more there suppliers QC system being at fault. But so far they have always managed to get it right in the end though.

Went to minispares north last saturday - very helpful and I will be going back. I like actually buying stuff rather than mail order all the time.

placed an order with MS yesterday, i rang this morning to see if it'll all be here by Friday and was told the internet order guy (think its Matt Laycock is'nt it?) wasnt in today. So after a looong pause i was waiting for the sales guy to speak, n.. nothing... Hello? i said.. Yes.. was the answer.. So what's going to happen to my order then, i specificy requested EXPRESS delivery.. Oh it'll probably go later today, oh but we have no 4pin diffs so we'll ship it when they arrive, do you want to wait or shall i cancel the order?

WTF is up these people!! Get some bloody staff who actually have some customer sense! Of course i want the other 19 items you complete numpty!

Why do i get the feeling i wont see this order before the weekend :(

Do any of you lot get that fucking woman pick up the phone "hello export" aftre you have pressed 1 to go through to mail order

WTF, she seems to pick up the phone and say that everytime i ring, I DONT WANT EXPORT I WANT SALES

It wouldnt be so bad if she could help - any problems etc she puts you on hold or cuts you off.

Its because of her that i dont use mini spares

another thing that annoys me is the horrible voice of the woman that says "welcome to the minispares centre, welcome to the minispares centre (you just said that you stupid cow) if you know the extension you require please press it now. For sales........."
