I have bought stuff off them in the past and had no problems although I always ask if what I ordered is in stock as it can hold up the order if they have to wait for it to come in.

ive had nothing but problems with mini sport

firstly....they dont update to site to let you know if an item is in stock or not...usually it isnt!

then had an order never arrive..and because it was by regular post i had n comeback

wont be using them again

i find minispare and somerford infinitely better customer service

Have to agree with Buddy, I've placed a few orders with Minisport and all have been incomplete. One is still incomplete a year later - (owed no more than a fiver) which shows you what their service is like. They also take so long to process an order.

And like Al, can't fault Somerford or Minispares. I've placed a good few orders with both and have never been let down.

Hope you have better luck Aaron

I agree with Buddy too.....

I had lots of problems with them. I am still waiting on parts I ordered two months ago and I am getting the run around. They will also try and charge you shipping for out of stock items when they finally do send them.

I have to say I recently had a problem with them. Placed an order and it got delayed due to out of stock parts. BUT!!!!!!

After getting in touch with the manager a full and sincere appology was delivered along with an explanation and a £30 voucher and free delivery on what ever I orderd. I then placed another order in excess of £900 and had how problems what so ever. All parts arrived and in a timely fashion.

I would order from them again....but I always check MiniSpares first as their service is second to none.

I always send an email first enquiring on price and if in stock, then only order items in stock . Sommerford would always be my first choise though.

I never order on line as regards parts,ring up with the part number and always ask if the complete order is in stock.
