Bearmach

I just thought I would add some comments.
I was trying to order parts OS from a Large online only LR parts supplier, who I had used before.
Had problems making payment, with this order, using several different cards, all of which had enough funds to pay with.
In the end, I was in no hurry for parts, but was into the third week of trying to pay.
I entered the Bearmach site, to look up , some part numbers. I had not relized I could order direct from them.
It ended up cheaper than the other supplier, constant update emails, payment went straight through.
I ordered on the Sat, shortly after, email, saying being processed. Sunday order ready to send.
Sent early Monday morning, arrived yesterday (mon) morning.
Very happy with the service.
Sure some comments may follow regarding product quality.

Hi Mate,
I myself prefer Bearmarch over Britpart - due to my own experiences.

I've always found Bearmach quality good overall, some parts not great and some parts better than genuine, e.g. Tdi vacuum pumps

Always found Bearmach to be very good quality and quick delivery. I have used 99% of their parts in the rebuild of my Series IIA. If you enter code 'DOBBO' at check out you will get 10% off your order.

In my experience with parts quality...

Britpart >>> Bearmach >>>>>>>>>>>> Allmakes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Genuine.

Pricing structure is similar.

Cheers

RIP Bearmach [emoji20]. One of the best companies I have dealt with for communication, overall customer service, and speed of shipment.

With BritPart now owning AllMakes, I wonder if the Quality will go down ?

Do you think the quality could go down ? More likely the price will rise.

There will be a load of overseas suppliers that will have lost access to the market with Bearmach going, I wonder what will happen with them. Will they supply Britpart ?

Probably more than we would like to think. European parts manufacturers will have to navigate their looming energy shortage and the ensuing economic challenges. No doubt that will lead to more M&A. China has its own difficulties with lock downs, factory closures and supply chain disruptions. Might have to start looking to Mexico but they prob don’t do metric.

I might buy some shares in blue plastic bag manufacturers.

No metric on Series vehicles.... (wheel studs & Nuts on Series III excepted)

Better get an order in to Paddocks before the prices rise !

I thought they might use the three brands as three “tiers of quality”. So if your happy to pay a bit more you can get a better quality product. I’d follow the same rule I’ve always followed for brakes, seals and bearings though, and buy Genuine, known brands or OEM (Timken, Corteco etc). But even these are drying up - for my last build I was unable to secure a TRW or Delphi brake CV M/c, so I brought a genuine seal kit and refurbished the Girling one…
