I've used them plenty of times and can't fault their delivery service(CityLink) takes a couple days as understandable but never had a problem with them.

hi darol i was a customer of them before and i didn't find them very good at all :x . i made the order and paid for it on the sunday night the item was not sent for post till that next Friday :evil: . and it took another week for it to get to Ireland so very slow on that area. i was sending them emails to ask them why it took so long to get sent and they did not reply. i wont deal with them again. the least they could do is reply to an e mail. :evil: .

I've had no problems with them either, usually have my orders within a few days but as Brian says I also prefer Veals, their customer service is second to none.

i ordered rig bits and pieces about a year ago from them and half of it turned up and was told me the rest was out of stock, when i emailed them they said the rest would be sent on when it came in, about another 4 weeks later i noticed a charge on my credit card and got the rest of the stuff the folowing day(about 6 weeks after i ordered it).
to be fair, they origionally only charged me for what was sent but if id known that id have cancelled the rest of the order as 6 weeks is taking the mick a bit.

never had hassle like that from veals as it usually wont allow you buy if its not in stock.
also worth noting that unless your buying a lot of stuff its not much more to buy it local

veals ....far better option,G.A.C can be very hit and miss,some of the "specials" can be of dubious quality,but to be fair,they have never quibbled
over returns.slightly off topic.....Dave in Southside can be very competitive,price wise,plenty of help and advice for those who seek it . 8)
