big mix of feelings
i used aswo while qualtex was out but luckily they got back in touch
i find Connect expensive but useful for hard to get parts
Maddocks is good but range is not as broad
there are smaller ones like LF group and homespares

Exactly 🙂
We mainly use Connect , if we get an issue with pricing and they don’t help we just simply use Ebay etc.

I have given up on trade suppliers and use ebay/amazon. Once I find the manufacturer’s part numbers and alternative numbers I scan the market for the best price,pay with paypal and I have more consumer rights than a trade customer.
I am semi retired now and have time on my hands so if I spend an hour on ‘tinternet and save £30 I consider it to be time well spent.Steve.
ASWO is my No 1 supplier now. Maddocks prices have crept up quite a bit. Connect I haven’t used for a while, though I’ve bought a few bits and pieces from their Wow ebay outlet. Homespares seem to have vanished since their warehouse fire. AWS sadly closed last year. Despite their 5 day delivery threat, I have used Qualtex a couple of times recently and the service has been flawless – goods have arrived next day. I don’t use ebay sellers that don’t offer a tracked delivery service – I’ve bought stuff from too many that don’t have the stock they claim, mark it as dispatched, then blame Royal Mail when it arrives a week lor more late.
Thanks, I do use connect but find them fairly expensive and Qualtex used to do a fair few bits I had trouble sorting elsewhere
Connect seems to be my main supplier But qualtex has got their act together and my last 3 orders were all delivered the next day. For some reason maddocks have knocked me off their list even though I had things on back order their prices were good but if they were out of stock you never new when they were getting it back in.
