Euro Car Parts 30% off online orders this weekend

[smn159]

Heads up on a 30% discount until midnight on Sunday - just prompted me to order some rear brake disks and pads for the Volvo

Or just use carparts4less.co.uk which is owned by ECP but is practically half the price anyway ;-)

Simples!

Hmmm, interesting.

I just checked a battery on both sites:

£295 on Eurocarparts, -30%, gives £205.
On carparts4less - £215 -10% battery discount, gives £194.

So cheaper on carparts4less but no click and collect (local Eurocarparts to me is 2 miles away, great for saturday pick ups), and no indication what the postage would be without signing up. I'm guessing about a tenner for a battery!

So about even. I prefer the carparts4less website, it's the old Eurocarparts one which was easier to find stuff on, just with the colours changed. But I would use Eurocarparts mainly as it's so easy for me to go and pick up when I need something.

ECP have a sale on every fking week, if I was one of those sorts who reported unscrupulous retailers for misleading promotions I'd have no time left in the day... They're fking terrible for it, to the point where if I'm not getting 30% off at ECP I feel I've been ripped off.

Although I have ordered stuff from them myself before (though not regular at all), they do have very regular sales on.
Another thing is that (although I can't prove it), I have heard rumours that you don't always get the 'quality' components that you're supposed to (inotherwords, if correct, some re-boxing goes on)?
Not to mention a lot of complaints about getting the wrong parts etc, but what the cause of that is, I'm not sure.

I just put stuff in my basket and wait for the sale.

Sometimes I use CP4L, but more often than not ECP, easier for returns.
