Big thanks to Rob for helping with an urgent request we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we needed was in Europe, and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and delivered to us by the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. The requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the part we needed at the best price. I spoke with Rob to make sure it was actually in stock, as many companies don’t really have it available to ship. It was ready, checked, and shipped, and we received it within a few days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
