Min-its is my favoured supplier, with Minispares as a back up, and I've heard excellent reports of DSN...

But I like to take a chance on ebay, and shows are great, auto jumble and club stands with the odd bit & bob.... trade you just need to keep an eye on.... you get to know what's a bargain and what isnt... ( ooh reminds me ebay.... not always the bargain it may seem, check your prices vs minispares first )

Min-its? Not heard of them before? What sort of stuff do they do? Have they got a website?

on the subject of shops....have people ever had problems with minispares, i mean i love there prices but they lost my order and i been waiting 3 wks for it cause they didn't have it in stock...now i got to re-order every thing and wait again...

I'v had problems with MiniSpares a few time. With me ordering bits and then saying they were out of stock. I use MiniSpeed I'v never had a problem with them and they give me quite a good discount on their bits as well though one of my clubs.

huddersfield mini spares are pretty good. I use them for everything so far. But there down side is there return policy they wouldnt except the headlight back because it was cracked during transit.

Well if it was in transit to you because you bought it online or by any
medium that meant you weren't there in person, they are in breach
of the distance selling regulations so go through small claims.

Have to say ive used Mini Spares loads and loads of time and never had an issue. They are always helpful at the shop too. In fairness to Huddersfield I got my alloys and pro-tech shocks from them and didnt have a single issue. I have a small issue with Mini Sport at the mo. I ordered a bottom hose (which for my model is bloody rare and expensive it seems) and after waiting a week I contacted them to be told it was out of stock. So not a great experience at the mo.

Have to say though, working with customers for a living as I do - people only remember the bad times. Dont forget companies like Mini Spares are dealing with thousands of orders a week and they have humans working there! Mistakes happen!

We have 50+ of this particular hose in stock.
