That’s the opposite of what we do I need to inspect things before postage. These bits were ordered from our supplier in the midst of the heatwave we had in June / July.
Quality, quality, quality!

Well that’s cleared that up and in my opinion anyone who strips their car on the back of a pre-order needs their bumps felt, my humble opinion only

I'm always happy to offer discount for pre-orders - usually somewhere in the order of 20-35% less than the usual price - but sadly when you're moving things around the world, delays happen.

The oldest pre order from this batch is for a large business customer in Holland - back from July! They're excited to be (literally) swimming in backplates next week...

Just for the record, my own ZT-T is off the road waiting for this delivery too - so even I'm not immune from pre order delays

Often true that misinformation is spread by people with keyboards but lacking in facts too.

The proof that I don't drop ship is currently on my drive - driver was here nice and early, so all orders are to be packed shortly.
Over 200 to go out - UK Mail and DHL are going to love me today...

Right, where's my tape...

Remember someone (not a member here or anything) getting hold of Brian's number and phoning him in the middle of the night with a query about his Rover 25. I suspect the advice Brian gave him had little to do with his car

No problem at all - thank you for your order

For all pre orders, they're being packed now (mostly done) and dropped at the local depot shortly.
