Digital Speedos website is a bit crap, there's no phone number but they do have a messaging service. I've gone backwards and forwards trying to get them to answer my question about speedo cables for a cb550 but not getting a direct answer.  I'm not sure how you can operate a business with no phone number.

I've noticed quite a few Websites where phone numbers, actual postal address are missing as well as a lack of e-mail address.
Some that have them keep them well hidden it seems with lots of navigation needed.

It's so frustrating Ted, I've asked yet again today if they can confirm which speedo cable type I need for a cb550, the reply avoided answering the question.  I'm fairly certain I know having taken mine off but confirmation would be great so it's over to Roo to answer it for me.

That address is often one of a row of brass plaques at an office full of letter boxes!

Thank Roo mate!

We've got an address in the High Street in my home town of Kington that has hundreds of businesses registered at it.

Just catching up on this thread and without high jacking it the name Digital Speedos came up. Is anyone else on here been waiting for an order from them for a considerable time? I have been waiting 7 weeks now and they are proving very difficult to contact was beginning to think that I’ve just chucked £200 odd quid away. Then on the 15th April this email came through. And by the way I am still waiting. There was no mention of any delays when I ordered but yet the money came off the account pretty quickly!😡

That sounds promising a change of ownership might explain the delay.

There’s nothing yet to convince me that I’m going to receive anything Dom!😳

Have you been using their online messaging service? I've been getting some joy speaking to a chap called Jamie but as I've said before he doesn't answer some of my questions but avoids them.  I hate that, if I ask 5 questions I want 5 answers not 4!

Are you boys emailing or calling, I’ve never had an issue with them?
