Has anyone used US Automotive recently? Their pricing and reasoning behind it is a farce in the 21st Century. Heres my example: a coil for my Camaro on their webpage £30 ish. Not far from where I live, needed it quickly so i thought i ring them to check stock. I was told in stock £40ish !! :shock: I asked why and the answer was labour for a member of staff to get it off the shelf!! Hold on if you order on line doesnt someone have pick it off the shelf wrap it then post it??? What a way to lose custom !!! Ridiculous !!!!!

£10 for picking an item off a shelf? Where can you apply for a job?? I used to work at Woolworths part time in their warehouse. If they paid me £10 for every item i took off the warehouse shelf i would have been able to completely bail out GM from my personal bank account. I would be inclined to call trading standards about that as the retail price is final and they can't be adding additional costs. That's literally false advertising. That's really disappointing. And people wonder why shops are closing down. Is there not an option on the ebay page to choose 'collect' instead of deliver? That way you can buy at the advertised price. Though, i doubt you want to buy it from them anymore.

How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

It wasnt their Ebay site, it was there own website which, makes it even more annoying !! Ill stick to Stateside Atherstone and Ebay from now on. If i see a US Automotive stand at any of the shows i go all Watch dog on them with a quick round of foxtrot oscars to boot :thumbup:
