Has anyone else used Carparts4Less for parts?

ECP and CP4L, apparently competing as to who can supply the wrong parts most often (its the same ICT) while still convincing joe public they are getting good deals and "trade prices"!

ECP also sell on Amazon.
I bought some oil recently,2 x 4ltr packs and saved £16 compared to the price at ECP's trade counters...... I'm in the trade and even with my trade discount they couldn't get near the amazon price.
Strange way of doing business if you ask me

Would that be Castrol then Daz, because they seem to only sell in 4 litrecontainers now - a real rip off IMO.
I bought some Shell Helix ultra extra over in France last week, and it was a tenner cheaper than we can get it over here - and it was a 5 litre jobby.

Used carparts4less only last week: ordered a £3.96 H7 light bulb, and selected free delivery. The light bulb was delivered the next morning. Courier delivery. Packaged in a Euro Car Parts box.

Yes Castrol Edge,my car takes 6.5 ltrs so I needed 2 anyway.
I just don't get why ECP sell it cheaper thru Amazon than they do thru their trade counters :mad:

Less overheads - they don't need as many staff to run an Amazon store and no need to rent a full shop etc. Makes sense to me?

I've just used them right now after reading this thread, a pair of wiper blades for £7.68 delivered. I can't buy one cheaper than that at Halfords.

I got a set delivered from an eBay seller for £6.08 couple of months ago. They are better than the ones Wilkinsons used to sell.

But of course that depends on which seller you find and that can be hit and miss sometimes.

Just had a text to say goods delivered today and are with neighbour awaiting my collection.

I used em a while ago - made an account and put something in my basket, but then got distracted and didn't finish the order. They emailed me a discount code :money:

They used Yodel, who are crap, and although I paid extra for the next day delivery it didn't arrive on the stated day. The next day I had to go to work and came home to find the parcel sitting on my doorstep.
