Been in Ireland since Wednesday 21st

BlakeS94 wrote: » My order arrived today, not too bad 7 working days, Wednesday to the following Friday, from order placed to delivery. Only got anti roll bar links and a top up of blue loctite and the difference in price between that (including delivery) and the other sites in Ireland and UK was €35, madness. Will definitely be giving winparts my custom for anything else I need UPDATE: unfortunately one of the parts I ordered was defective. One drop link was fine, the other is knackered straight out of the box, ball joint on one end is very loose and feels like there's no grease inside when you move it by hand(finger really) you can feel the metal on metal inside the joint knocking

The other irritation is that if the business here in Ireland is VAT registered, they should ship as export (0%) VAT, but for reasons unknown, that's not working correctly at the moment, so we've had to chase them up to get the VAT refunded, and then get a revised invoice for the paperwork here, which is a PAIN. Parts quality is good, and the range they carry is also good, and for quite a few things, cheaper than most. Brexit has made UK suppliers non competitive, so this is a good alternative.

Blueprint are under the umbrella of Febi Bilstein, along with Febi and Swag. They're a quality brand. The links i received, while one being bad, have a much thicker rubber boot on them and feel more solid to me than the oem ones that came off the car

BavarianCare wrote: » Febi are yet another brand that have become just that - a 'brand' with most of their stuff. Look at their boxes, they generally say "Febi Germany" NOT Made In Germany. An exception can be made for their timing chains which are OE for BMW as an example. But they're not Febi - they're reboxed. The only 2 quality suspension brands that you can be reasonably sure of anymore are Lemforder & TRW although with some applications they can be hit and miss too. Globalization, profits and IN MY OPINION the main reason for this is the fact that retail customers WILL NOT pay for quality. It's 99% cheap price. As a result I've often had customers turn up with their own parts to fit and I turn them away... Before I get slated for that - what happens when they fail prematurely? I get the blame because it's always "So & So fitted them" NOT "I gave so & so sh1te to fit. My motto: If the only complaint you have is that you're expensive then you don't have any complaints at all...
BlakeS94 wrote: » I respect your opinion but in my experience they seem fine, haven't had any issues, that being said I've only used their filters for oil, air etc, and drop links so maybe other stuff isn't so good.

Customer service were available to chat online so they cancelled and refunded the order.
