Does anyone actually buy from rimmers rip off - Page 2

Rimmer Bros are one of the best suppliers in my opinion. Never had bad service from them. Postage can be expensive but as mentioned, give them a call and see if they can help. I usually buy a batch of bits to offset the postage costs.

I've bought off them plenty of times - they're one of the few suppliers who don't surcharge for Northern Ireland and who reply to emails quickly.

Sounds like a mistake to me - communicate with them.

Thank you to all. I have now purchased genuine MG Rover nuts and bolts, thanks again to everyone.

Ditto.

In my opinion Rimmers provide a service to the marque that is uneqalled by any other supplier.

People who consider them to be a rip-off should simply stop going to their site and looking at all the free information as a matter of principle.

I've found its just best to get a few bits at once from Rimmers and you get a better shipping price. My set of centres felt like a bargain tbh.

If it wasn't for Rimmers, a lot more of these cars would have already gone to the breakers.

Rimmer's seem good for some things, but for others they seem to be very expensive on postage.
I one bought some aircon cleaner in an aerosol, I think it was something like £2/tin, which I thought was really good - then the quoted postage was something silly like £12.
Just wish they would give an estimate of postage before going through all the sign in & enter card details etc page....

Freepost and genuine...

Good source if you can get what you need when you want it but 'Out of stock' so free postage is not much use

I have bought numerous items from Rimmers over the years, for a few makes and models.
I live at the other end of the planet too, so if you think your postage costs are bad, wait till you see mine!
They are a great business and I for one, will support them for a while yet!

I have bought a few items from them, mainly because I have felt that they would be fit for purpose kind of thinking.
I have unsubscribed from emails though, I cannot recall ever having anything to do with a Rover 75, they are usually Landrover type of news.
