Irish Mini Owners Club

Anyone bought parts from either Huddersfield mini or plmini parts from the uk if so any problems

Have use minispares on many occasions with no problems at all and minisport but that's a lot slower.

Sorry read it wrong, have use Huddersfield with no problem

The main problem people have with online orders is longer than expected delivery times. They will usually take your order and then you have to wait while they get an out of stock item in.
Personally before I order I send an email asking which items they have in stock first.
I did use Huddersfield by mail years ago no problem, have called to there store since nice guys.

ordered from p&l before, fast delivery and no issues there but the wheels they sent me were all dented from the wheel nuts that came un-taped from the rim and started rattling around and they didnt want to know me when i rang up and complained
unfortunately i wasnt at home to tell the courier i wasnt happy and wasnt signing for em and my sister didnt notice the damage!
good delivery and they even hav parts some other shops dont have but their after sales service is nonexistent!
huddersfield are quite good with service and delivery but dont seem to have the variety that the like of minispares or somerford have
hope this helps

I've visited their premises twice and they're great for shiny bits, wheels, and seats. After that, they don't hold much stock of anything. Minimine on Ebay a lot lately as they offer free UK postage (including Northern Ireland) which means I get delivery through ParcelMotel for just €3.50. FYI, Zak and Woody, Minimine are the suppliers we badgered in Italy for the brothers discount. They're sound to deal with and my last order was delivered in 3 days and that's including the extra day with ParcelMotel.

Billy have you ever used parcel hotel for minispares or minisport or do they accept it. Their delivery charges are ridiculous

Cheers lads delivery shouldn't be any hassle just need to get delivered to walsall and can get them brought here free of charge

Jp, ParcelMotel works by givng you an NI address to send to i.e. part of the UK. Check their website.

Very handy service to use, but they have size and weight limitations so you may want to take that into consideration.

Yeah, and MiniSpares tend to overbox everything when they're posting so I have nearly always had to go to the depot in Finglas to collect. It's still far quicker and cheaper than direct delivery.
