Tyre protector shields (Rimmers)

Caskin · 25th April 2018, 15:03

I noticed recently a post reference the good old front wheel protector kits,apparently sale price had stopped and items were back to full price,well just to pass my bit of knowledge on,the part number is RSC000131
Sales code for GB purchase MG18.Price in sale as of April 2018 £12.
They attempted to charge me £10 postage,stating Royal Mail would not accept, as to bulky and heavy!!!So initially wanted £21.90.
After a short exchange of words as I explained just how big these protectors "were not"!! The price came down with postage to £17.94.

So if you still want them at sale price they are available but stand by your ground on postage,in fact quote my purchase today at 1600.

The postage cost is the bit that always lets Rimmers down for me.

It's a shame , I'm sure the postage charges must put people off .

Precisely so, I never buy anything from Rimmers unless no other choice, because their postal charges are prohibitive ( being kind here!)

The same with me.
Several times I filled my basket there, but P&P charges every time make me refuse to order

Rimmers are always a last resort for me, firstly because their prices are by and large astronomical and secondly thier post and packing charges,are a joke.
