    Just tried to contact TEC and there is no phone number on their website which is a bit weird
    I want a
    Full front fork kit
    K+N Filter
    Headlight Brackets
    Front indicator re-location bracket
    and maybe a couple of other bits
    Ive tried to email them asking if I could get next day delivery and pay the extra but no reply as yet, what I dont want to do is pay over £300 and not have any idea when these bits will be delivered as ive got the bike stripped doing some other bits to it
    ??

    I've bought several bits from them and there's never been a problem. They deliver promptly and you can return or exchange stuff without issue.
    They were closed briefly for a day or two this week (as stated on their website) in preparation for Black Friday. They're open for business now, with a blanket 10% off everything.
    You could wait until next week and email again when the rush has died down but I'd order now in case they sell out and you get the discount of course.

    I've not actually purchased anything from them BUT i'm sure that if they weren’t right, i'd be on here in a flash.
    I've not seen any bad words at all about them.
    If needed, pay with a credit card so you’ll be protected anyway if something went wrong.

    I've bought from them and had no problem with delivery or the service received.
    As mentioned above there is a 10% discount at the moment on all TEC branded products and is valid until next Friday 3rd. December

    Nothing again today !! waited in all day emailled TEC at 09:03 this morning no reply, checked the tracking number again that now says, DPD has collected my delivery and will deliver it tomorrow and ill get a delivery time before 11am !! funny DPD say they collected it today, TEC say they sent it Friday !!
    Maybe this is why they do not have a telephone number !! well £260 parts ordered another £370 in my basket that I wont be ordering from them, first time amd the last, if they could not send the stuff, at least send a text or email save someone waiting in for 3 days !!
    If you cant get a phone call txt or email when your spending your money what will happen if something is wrong and you need advice or to send something back ?

    Totally agree, if I was told the delivery will be there sometime Tuesday, Iwould have waited patiently, but to be told it would be here Saturday or Sunday and it not be picked up till Monday is dishonest and not to have a contact number is rather silly, furthermore to ignore emails is a crazy way of running a business !! I doubt my business would be around long if I ran it like that !!

    If you had a dpd tracking number then it’s out of tec’s control as to when they (dpd) collect the item.

    I have never had an issue with TEC or DPD personally but I just Googled TEC and found the phone number below (also used by them on eBay).

    tel:01661823370

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers Geoff

    No the point im making is that I was told by TEC that the parts were sent Friday when obviously they were not if DPD collected them today !! Someone's telling little white ones LOL its just anoying to be honest I wouldnt be using the Bonnie anyway If I needed to go out on a bike in this weather Id have taken the 1250GS, much safer in crap weather

    Ahh, I see what you mean but there does often seem to be a discrepancy between the sender and courier sometimes. I have had many bad experiences with Hermes over the years.
