Does anyone actually buy from rimmers rip off
I was just in the process of purchasing 2 front lower pinch bolts and nuts from Rimmer Bros, very reasonably priced at £2.95 I was just about to confirm order when I realised they wanted a further £12.95 for postage. Needless to say I quickly aborted.

I buy from there if no one else has what I want - like a full set of Serpent centres for £34 and so on. Basically, I shop around for the best deal or simply who has what I want in stock. Sometimes you do have to pay, sadly.

£12.95 does seem a lot for pinch bolts being delivered. I had one or two small bits when I got the wheel caps, and even with postage it was only about £55 for the lot.

The weight information that Rimmer's use can be wrong (they get it from xpart). If something is obviously the wrong weight, and obviously the wrong postage, the give them a shout

The p&p that they charge is most definitely a rip off. Why advertise something for what seems a reasonable price and then when you go to pay it costs you an arm and a leg
