Hi mate, I got your PM lastnight, unfortunately I can no longer supply parts to the zone from my branch :(

You can use the websites with discount codes if you don't live near a branch mate

That's keen pricing on Bosch batteries too 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Which is generally why you should deal with the carparts4less sister site. Same parts, same wharehouse, same pickers and packers, same cardboard boxes, but with a lot less of the fake sales.
£188.40 on there, less 7.5% (if you leave anything in your 'basket' overnight) = £174.27.

For a change ECP and CP4L come in at the same price after available discounts.. well not including 7.5%..

One pain in the ass with CP4L I discovered a couple of days ago is they wont deliver to an alternative address on online orders - it appears the delivery HAS to go to the cardholders address - which is useless unless you work from home.

My order from ECP after discount on was about £8 more expensive than CP4L but delivery to work so no messing about.

True. I just wish I grabbed one 6 weeks back when they were £150 before any discounted codes.. :(

I found a simple solution to this that worked....use PayPal. You can put in whatever delivery address you want on CP4L, pay via PayPal and it'll go through. I did this because a) I get cashback on my AmEx and most people don't take it so using PP sorts that and b) I recently moved and don't have all my addresses updated yet.

Paypal is the dogs bollox for internet payments, when given the choice between two vendors I use the one that takes Paypal.

i usually use ecp over cp4l despite the fake 'sales' simply because of reserve and collect.

i hate waiting for things to be delivered, and 8 /10 times they try and deliver when i'm not in and it's further to the depot than to the nearest branch!

however, now gsf have sorted their website out, and now do reserve and collect, ive started using them a lot more as they seem to have more of the bits i need in stock and are generally cheaper too, despite being a bit further away.
cheers,

harry
