NEW PRODUCT ALERT

We now have higher quality ABEC 5 bearings in 6902 and 6903 sizes (actually called 61902 and 61903)

An upgrade over our standard 6902/6903 at little extra cost. Probably our best value/quality 6902/6903 wheel bearing offerings.

Note, 6902 and 61902 are fundamentally same bearing - quite often factories add the '1' to differentiate higher quality. In this case it indicates ABEC 5.

ABEC 5 Precision (instead of the standard ABEC 3)

Note, RSR seals is an alternative way of saying 2 rubber seals (2RS)

Postage Update!... on the last Bank Hol we were inundated with customers emailing about orders not being received. We just wanted to remind customers on a few things....

The basic RM24 free post service we offer has 100% deteriorated in quality of service as alot of you know. When you checkout and select this service, please be aware that:

- We state a warning on checkout that RM24 (the free option) can and does often take 5 working days. It's basically sent the same as a letter in the post with a stamp on. We also seeing it take a little longer than 5 days in rare circumstances too. There will be orders placed Thursday last week, that were sent Friday where today (Tuesday) is the first working day after bank holiday. Please be aware of this.

- Tracked service we charge £3/parcel. The real cost is a lot higher, but we absorb a portion. If you need within 5 working days, then please please select and pay for the tracked service

- If your order hasn't arrived on basic service (RM24) we have no option with Royal Mail to find it, trace it, expedite it or even claim for a lost parcel. Basically it either arrvies or it doesn't and we will have to resend if it hasn't arrived after 5 working days. Almost always the original turns up eventually and whilst many return the duplication, there are a few that don't.

- We will in the future be applying a new postage matrix, which will offer a free Tracked option when over a minimum spend has been reached. Whether we will still offer the free RM24 I'm not sure. Lots of people have no issue with RM24 and it works for them, but it's getting more and more difficult over recent years to manage peoples expectations and deal with the extra customer service costs associated with delayed packages.

Many thanks

ROYAL MAIL POSTAGE HEADS-UP!

There is a pop-up message on our home page which says:

** ROYAL MAIL WARNING!! if you select our basic UK free post option be prepared to wait upto 5 working days as Royal Mail are particularly bad at present. All 'Tracked' parcels have been delivered next day recently**

So, some background on our free post option. So, for many years our free post service (RM24) was reliable and we very rarely had an issue. However, a few years ago the quality of service started deteriorating, and we gave a heads-up (on Facebook) that we might have to charge for postage with the basic service being tracked and a cost involved.

It seemed for some areas of the country the basic RM24 service was frequently taking up to a week (5 working days). We added this warning at checkout when selecting the postage for an order. We relented removing the RM24 free option as many customers were still getting their post swiftly.

However, it's reached a new low lately and orders are frequently taking longer then 5 working days and we are having to resend many orders.

It's difficult to get an official line, but quizzing some posties off the record, and reading between the lines, some conclusions we have come to are:

- Posties do not receive as many letters these days, sacks aren't as full so the justification for a daily delivery isn't there.

- There are frequently staffing issues at Royal Mail

- RM are prioritising parcels now, and this is getting busier. Most of our small orders are sent as a large letter (post box size) so basic services like RM24 are way down the priority list when things are busy in parcels.

For now, we will leave our postage matrix in place and closely monitor things, but we cannot stress enough, if your order is required within the week, please please select the 'Tracked' option

Likely scenario if this situation continues is we will remove free post RM24, with most packages being sent Tracked with a nominal charge. However, free 'Tracked' post will still be achieved over a set order value (to be determined).

Note: we don't currently pass on the full cost of a Tracked order – we charge £3, but it cost us nearer £5
