p0930 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I spent most of the day on Tuesday trying to get a dealer to send me a set of Milenco Quattros. On each occasion I was told they either did not deliver to the Scottish Highlands or it would cost a premium, all this despite their adverts on some sites telling me there was free delivery to the UK mainland. How refreshing that on the same day I ordered Gasit cylinders and fitting kit at 4 pm it was delivered by 3pm the following day. Well done Gasit, if you can do it so can others.

Well that serves you right for staying in such a beautiful part of the UK. :-D Past your door at the weekend on our way to Little Ferry kart track and had a super weekend. Cruise liner in at Invergordon so hopefully that would have put a few $ in the locals pocket. Do not see the extra cost added to deliver to your area as all the big supermarkets are further up so they do not see it a problem. Installed Gas low several years ago and they have paid for themselves both in the cost of gas and the ease of filling. You will not regret.

p0930 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 It is interesting that if I call a local courier to pick up something in the south there is no extra charge but something despatched from there costs anything up to £20. It is discriminatory as far as I am concerned at best and sheer greed at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the sheer enormity of the quantity of emails that can overload businesses. We typically receive close to 500 emails a day. The vast majority are Spam. Some days just about every factory in China has something to show us. Then there are all the telephone, company van deals and SEO offers. Hopefully, we do not miss the actual customer emails but it would be very easy. So don't be tooooo critical if you do always get a response from a company.

Are you certain that you need the Quattro ramps? The design is questionable when it comes to motorhome wheels as the aggressively prominent lateral edges of the 'pockets' on these ramps dig into the tyres. If you REALLY MUST have a set of very high-lift ramps, you might be better opting for the 3-stage "MGI Maxi" design shown here: http://www.justmilenco.co.uk/epages/es134997.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es134997/Categories/Levelling/Levelling_Ramps Both the Quattro and MGI Maxi ramps are BIG - almost 3 feet long for Quattro - and heavy, taking up a lot of storage space and eating into payload. I carry a set of Quattros and a set of much smaller, conventional wedge-shaped ramps. I use the former very occasionally and the latter a lot. With the benefit of hindsight I should have bought a single set of ramps somewhere in size/lift between the two (eg. Milenco's MGI Midi design).
