anyone had experiance with them? I found them on here and thought i was doing them a favour by getting the part from them not PL mini shop or mini spares. I payed for one 3 weeks ago and he sent it first class on the monday, 3 weeks later still no part. After the first week he said hes not sure and would send another out. Still no part and now said he would refund me. He said this was because of the postal strikes where he was (leeds i think) although i could understand one week, maybe 2...but a 3 week delay? Im not having a go nor do i have a problem with him, he seems like a nice guy just wanted to see if anyone else has had experiance from him?

mini bits from leeds?
yes, they are rubbish...
they messed me about as well...for a few days, with a pair of cooper s brakes..
..we arranged to meet and they never showed up..without any notice...
and then when i contacted them...they said they'd come the following day....
they didn't....again without any notice..
..so i gave up trying to buy anything from them...
and when i contacted them a few weks later ...
this is what i got
But the truth is we even arranged what day and roughly the time to meet...i think that's pretty "near the point of selling the items"...
and I'm not moaning becasue they did not sell me something...
i'm moaning BECAUSE THEY LED ME ON FOR TWO DAYS AND MESSED ME ABOUT!
by the way..don't get confused with the shop called MINI-BITZ in sheffield...they are lovely..

ME: you guys messed me about ..for these brakes...
...we exchanged texts and you just stopped texting..
MINI-BITS in leeds:and?
ME: not exactly the right attitude to have when you're trying to do business, is it?
MINI-BITS, is it called?
MINIBITS:if we choose not to sell an item that is our choice? sorry if that upsets you but no items were sold and monies were paid, we did not get anywhere near the point of selling the items, yes texts were exchanged, you cannot moan because we did not sell you something.

One Carb Or Two?
Posted 22 September 2009 - 05:05 PM
yeh he seems to have *melon* attitude towards it all. Infact in an email reply he sent something along the lines of: "yes we must be *melon*, good luck finding a good mini buisness" . So i guess he just decideds what he wants to sell after he says he's sold. I wouldnt normally mind but he was arsey on the phone and messed me about for 3 weeks. What can you do eh? So, to reiterate. Can anyone send me the bottom engine stabiliser bracket for a mini ? If you could send the bolts it would be even better

Wish i'd known he was there
Still, just found a guy on here breaking a mini who has one with the bolts and just negotiating on a set of clear rear lenses. Great that ive found this but still *drunk* off at the fact it should have taken 3 days max to sort it not 3 weeks. He still seems to think the parts will come?
