Batteries - speedy delivery or not....

Post by skyerae »

I ordered a battery from M & P Direct last Friday and it will (allegedly) only be deliverd on Monday - over a week lated after I ordered it. So if you need a battery pronto - like I did - avoid M & P Direct. They took long enough delivering fairing bolts so I should have learned my lesson, but I was assured when I ordered the battery that they were in stock. That is possibly correct but the warehouse must be outer Mongolia, or Siberia- somewhere really accessible!!

I thought M&P and Busters were now the one company.
Both of their websites look remarkably the same.

Yeah it does seem that way but but some reason Busters give you better service but they dont sell as much stuff.

Maybe busters just use M+P as their warehouse and stock. Ive seen that before.

Yep, Busters and M&P are linked. My mate went there once and was chatting with them, think as Joeboy said they use them same stock but I think my mate said something about it being ran by two different brothers or something.

Anyhow... I don't use M&P anymore either as I find Busters very fast, dilivery time for M&P to Northern Ireland was sometimes 3 weeks and it was 3 days from Busters.

I phoned up M&P once years ago chasing an order and they said that there lorries kept getting robbed as the packaging they were using were DVD and video recorded boxes and stuff like that.

I guess highway men still exist.... :D
