Very ****** with Eurospares! Looks like their shipping is now ridiculous! I'm being charged £8.00 for shipping a maserati c pillar emblem!

Does anyone know if buying these direct from a MD would be cheaper?

And they quote ex VAT!

Funny thing is I have a VAT number inputted on their checkout and the VAT isn't deducted!

There is absolutely no need for an emblem to be posted by Fedex or signed for Royal Mail. I contacted to see if they can post 1st class but I'm not happy given the plastic badge is £30 ex VAT.

They profit on the shipping , I pay £5.39 for up to a 5kg parcel with ups, £60 cover .

The parts I bought from the MD were cheaper than eurospares

Are there any on ebay , business sellers usually offer free post as it gets them a discount on the fees

But you wouldn't get it deducted, just you can claim against VAT on sales. Unless ur in another EU state, and and on HMRC EC Sales List...

Main dealers can usually price match Eurospares if more expensive, and if you have a local main dealer you can collect, for free!

That's annoying, I have two C pillar badges collecting dust.

Have to say - have found Eurspares to be fair....I Maine’s about having to pay to return an item, they asked if I had checked it was the right item, sent them an email chain of a conversation and boom - they repaid the fees

I've also pulled Eurospares up on this.
I ordered a screw and spire nut, shipping cost them £2.50 but they charged me £5
I totally understand they have to buy packing materials etc. but they do take the p!ss sometimes.

i have used Eurospares a lot over the years and I dont think my car woudl still be running without them. Their prices are often the best. The postage they charge has always been outragous, and I dont know why they do it it cant make them that much money. I would have been much happier if i could have chosen the postage option rather than being forced to pay the ridiculous money they charge.
