Hi,

Boring post but wanted to say it anyway.

I ordered some oil, filter and drain tub at the weekend from the Busters website, on a next delivery thinking I'd get it on Tuesday.

Phone call on Monday saying the oil was out of stock, and he didn't know when it would be in again Shocked

Credit where it's due, in that they did call to inform me of this. I've used Busters over tha last few years for stuff and always had a great service.

Kind of feel mislead on this one - I ordered on the pretense that the stuff was in stock, but it wasn't, and the website did not state this. I usually always just ring them and order, but thought I'd use the website this time.

If I had rung them up they would've lost the sale and I'd have got off my lazy arse and gone to Halfrauds to buy the oil, but that would mean needing to travel 40 miles, paying fuel costs and paying more for the oil in the first place. And Halfrauds don't sell the oil filter anyway Mad

However, they refunded me the postage costs and are going to send it FOC when it comes in. That's a saving of £7.50 Dance!

Hope it turns up in time to service the bike before the Scottish bike show on the 12th March!!!

Thumbs Up for phoning me informing it was out of stock
Thumbs Up for always providing a good service

Thumbs Down for not stating that the product was out of stock on the website
Thumbs Down for still taking my money and not giving me the option to cancel the order

It seems pretty much standard mail order service now, take the money, worry about stock supplies later. At least they did phone you.

I know what you mean. Ordered a scorpion can for my bike from M&P only to get and email saying 'sorry we are currently out of stock -10-14 days for delivery' Mad Why cant they update the website to say no stock. Rolling Eyes Suppose i'll just have to wait now since they were the only ones who catered for my bike that i could find. Crying or Very sad

I've always avoided the busters site for order; obviously they've skimped and saved there and not got a great system.

Never had a problem with talking to people on the phone.

I still get problems ordering stuff when I'm there in person. Laughing Went to Mickey Oats in Glasgow and picked out a Powerbronze screen from their catalogue, paid my money and left. Turned up the next week to collect it and the guy handed me a Zero Gravity screen Eh? What the hell is that I asked. He said that the Powerbronze screens took too long to get so he's only ordering these ones now. Cheeky git! He could have told me at the time, or even called me. Told him to jam it. Thumbs Down

Nb,

Try www.cansrus.co.uk as they list your bike (I assume the Suzuki in your avatar) and usually carry good stock. They seem pretty cheap too. Thumbs Up

M&P and Busters are the same company. One bought the other last year.
