Why do main dealers take the p@&s

In the scale of things you own a supercar and moan about £40 ?! WTF
You could have always collected it if you didn't like the delivery charge. I'm sure the dealer only passed on the cost FFS
A bit harsh and completely missing the point......You could have always collected it if you didn't like the delivery charge. I'm sure the dealer only passed on the cost FFS
I've ordered dozens of bits from my Ferrari main dealer, many came from Italy and I've never paid a penny postage. I'd like a McLaren one day. I want them to do well as a UK based company but I hear time and time again the service support is not where it needs to be, so at the moment they're not an option.

Truth is you can buy next day delivery for a couple of quid easily, esp for a small item. £21.00 is taking the mickey. It’s not the money necessarily, it is the principle of being ripped off...and then failing to delivery next day when you have swallowed the pill just adds insult to injury.You could have always collected it if you didn't like the delivery charge.

Agreed......I would not have paid £21 for delivery of a reflector......it simply does not cost that much......most couriers would do that for less than £5......mike01606 said:

Silly comment.
OP - if you paid next day and it hasn't come, ask for a postage refund!

Wrong Rambo...You could have always collected it if you didn't like the delivery charge. I'm sure the dealer only passed on the cost FFS
Supercar owner or not, nobody should be ripped off. The delivery charge for a small item is £5 max!
Would you pay £21 for a latte in Costa? I mean in the grand scale of things...............

Yes I own a super car am I stupid with money errrm no, £20 delivery is still a rip off for something Royal mail,special would have been £7 and here as promised next day , ps my closest dealer is 140 miles away so collecting is out the question You could have always collected it if you didn't like the delivery charge. I'm sure the dealer only passed on the cost FFS
So I believe that reply is not really warranted

Rest assured, you will be paying for the postage for the Ferrari part somewhere. Either as part of the RRP for the part, as part of your service costs, or from the purchase cost of every Ferrari sold.I've ordered dozens of bits from my Ferrari main dealer, many came from Italy and I've never paid a penny postage.

£21 postage is ridiculous for such a small part, however the OP could have tried another dealer, or picked one up next time he or a friend was near a dealer or had the car in for a service if he wasn't happy paying £40 for a replacement reflector.

tnt have been ........guess what still no part so ill be ringing ascot and seeing whats happening and ill try another dealer so far no other has one in stock ready to go
Any comments from McAscot yet?Seriously, get onto the McLaren Owners group on Facebook and see if anybody is due there in the next day or two, ask them to pick it up and post it out first class for the price of a coffee. It'll be more reliable and they're a helpful bunch.
phoned again and they tracked teh parcel it seems to have been sent to the wrong hub , there hoping it might be delivered tomorrow , mclaren ascot have refunded the postage , its a cock up from the tnt side more than anything else , still im hoping its on readyf or the comming long weekend
