Good quick mail order service in my experience ๐Ÿ™‚

I would email them as well as trying to call them as the phone is often quite busy esp on Tues morning after a bank holiday!!

BTW - Customer services I have experience with has been great ๐Ÿ™„

Yes BH here in the UK. That said there customer service is poor so perhaps they just could not be bothered answering

The hoses were 800f/1300r on mine. So plenty long enough.

Ribble were fine with me - took about a week/week and a half to get to me.
