Silvers having a laugh.

So there you have it guys and girls, David has taken the time to explain the issues with postage and couriers ( which was basically what I was saying yesterday) Now, how about we stop all the grumbling about carraige charges and think about the good things he and his company have done for us, examples being brake calipers for 750 F1/K7/A, tanks for 400 fours, exhausts for the same, chainguards, and many other parts unobtainable from Honda. I know replica parts aren't good enough to satisfy the concours few among us, but these parts are well made and keep our bikes on the road, which is what more than 99% of us want!

Hi David and thanks for the explination. I'd like to just echo the thanks for all that you do in providing us with those hard to get parts for our beloved Hondas, as I've said before, without your services many of our bikes would no longer be viable.

+1 from me . This is why I asked him to join us on here. Welcome from me too David
Now lets have a proper discussion with him about sourcing repro parts etc. Interesting on his Facebook pages that they find rechroming in the UK for their 400/4 resto business economically not viable in the UK. Just like we are finding!
Cheers .... AshD

Yes, hairy. But it still is an unfair system. It will cost Lester £11.75 for a package over the value of £20. I could order a package to my house in Greece cheaper. Orders under 2 kg and under the value of £60 will only cost £6.00 p&p. That is half the price and ten times the distance. Dave why do you use a courier in the UK for package over the value of £20 but, still use the Royal Mail for goods upto the value of £60 to europe?.
hairygit:
I agree Trigger, but Lester does not live on the mainland, and royal mail sets the rules on that. Maybe if people phone an order through, and make it clear that they understand compensation to a maximum of £20 is all that's available, his staff may send it at the cheaper rate, entirely at the buyers risk. Or as I suggested earlier, maybe there is a member here who lives close to Silvers that would be willing to collect the items and arrange to post them on?
