The Ultralites on Boris Came from Huddersfield Mini Spares and weve had no problem with them
When we ordered them however we asked the young lady on the phone if instead of delivering them to us could they bring them along to The Malvern Mini show?

She seemed unwilling to do this and had a couldnt care less attitude
Her answer was if we take some to the show you can buy them there if not hard luck

We said that everytime they are at the show they have budget cheapy tires on them and we wanted Yokos
But still this couldnt care less atitude,they had over a week to fit tyres and put them in a van but that young lady with an atitude problem wouldnt budge

My partner Sam had rang the order through and got that attitude so decided not to order
We still wanted those wheels so i rang back and i dont take no for an answer!!

I asked to speak to the manager and told him what i wanted
I pointed out if they could do that they got our bussiness if not they lost it,no problem he told us and as promised they brought them along to the Malverns

So from my personal experience one of their staff members has an atitude problem whereas the others seem fine

Thankfully weve had no problems with our wheels though i wouldnt like to say how approachable they are if anything goes wrong with them

So id say if they are branded goods you can buy anywhere Huddersfield Mini Spares are as good as any but as others have pointed out i wouldnt touch their suspension ,shocks etc parts with a bargepole

Miniparts UK is a new established company

Isn't that sentence a bit contradictory?

Yes VAT is fixed not by the seller but by the government because it's a tax, so if they're charging more than 15% VAT (17.5% after Jan 1st) then I'm pretty sure they're doing something illegal.

I've only ever bought from them once and didn't have a problem, although the parcel shelf mat I got only covered about 70% of the shelf

Saying that, I've heard a hell of a lot of bad things about them, not just from people on here.

what they meant was probably "newly-established", should you be pedantic.

I want to buy This and This.

Would you recommend me to buy it somewhere else even though its so much cheaper here?

Cheers

thumbs up to Huddersfield Mini Spares from me... ordered two Corbeau seat subframes on Tuesday morning and arrived today.

cheapest place I found for the branded item too.

[minisilverbullet]

Bought from them a couple of times all was fine!

My only beef with them was when i ordered 2 items, and was quoted postage for the 2 items. But only one arrived as the other was out of stock (didint know until i opened the package) but they still charged me the original postage price! And despite 2 emails, didnt get a reply. With so many companies out there asking for our business, i felt a little let down by that - And havent used them since!

I bought a dashboard off them, within 3 days it was here!!

[tangerinebean]

I drove 60 miles to their shop, and I had no problems,
IMO the customer service was good.

The only problem I had was I fitted an angel eye headlight, and the bezel was a little tight,
when I turned it on to test it, the lens cracked from top to middle,
So now I have one angel eye headlight. Obv. No I don't have two different lights on the car!!

I have ordered a few things in the past two months and have been very impressed by their service, firstly was a cobra classic seat package with subframes, which was in total cheaper than just one seat with vat at a shop local to me (not a mini specialist), which was delivered with next day delivery for £25, which i was impressed with on a large item like a pair of seats. Next was a caropet and a seat of light seals, which I ordered Tuesday evening, and they arrived today (Thursday) on a 'standard' delivery. I would recommend them to anyone. Big thumbs up!

I bought a gear knob from huddersfield spares and when it arrived it was the wrong one. So I contacted them and the woman on the phone said that the one I ordered was out of stock so they decided to send me a different one instead. The gear knob I wanted had grooves in it and the one they sent was smooth and looked like a dildo.

Anyway I returned the gear knob to them and after 10 days and a lot of ringing them asking where my refunded money is, it finally went into my account. But they only refunded me the money for the price of the gear knob and not the £5 postage. Which I feel is wrong since I didn't order a lucky draw of every selection of gear knobs. It was their purpose actions and small brains that caused this.

I've spent well over £550 at huddersfield spares so far and sure as hell won't be spending anymore.

Spent £85 on bits - steering wheel, boss, switch panel and other bits and bobs. Very quick delivery and good items here.

I would have sat on it and waited for a refund.

Oh wait...

Made my first order on weekend and came today as has been said fast delivery. Consisted of rocker cover, t bars, interior handles set , rear view mirror and a handbrake grip. Duno if someone saw the handbrake grip on the back shelf and just thought yer that'll do get it in the bag as the chrome was marked, dirty and rusted as if it had been used before or returned to them before maybe So have emailed them straight away for a refund or replacement. So await a reply. Must say the rocker cover has a slight mark but can live with it . Me personally will not be ordering with them again. Have ordered with minisport before and had no problems with them and only ordered with Huddersfield spares as they were slightly cheaper however a dont mind spending a few quid more to get a decent end product first time.

[jamiestevenbell]

I brought my superlite wheels from them, two years down they look as new and I couldn't fault there service to be honest

[miniaddict92]

i never got that grip i waited over 5 weeks and had enough and said on the 6th is there any chance of getting the part i paid for this week or not and they said no so just wanted my money back which i did get so all in all a waste of time however they did a speedy refund for the following day
