Default Burton Power Are A Joke

Right 2 weeks ago i ordered,

MAGNECOR IGNITION LEAD SET CVH 8mm
SPEREX VHT SPRAY PAINT 500ml, SILVER
CHAMPION FAST ROAD SPARK PLUG: COSWORTH YB & RS TURBO
IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP, ESCORT COSWORTH UPRATED
MAGNECOR COIL LEAD 24" 8mm 2.8/CVH TURBO S2 6.77 0 1 6.77 6.60 7.76

After numerous attempts to contact them etc, i finally got my goods 8 days after ordering them....8 days i thought fook me shouldnt take that long...

So i decided to give them another chance, and on tuesday of last week i ordered a fuel filter, i got the email etc sayin they would be shipped out asap. Its now monday and im still waiting on them. Never will I use burton power again... I rang Graham Goode the other day, ordered a fuel pressure regulator andit was on my doorstep about 11am the following day... Pull your finger out BURTON!!!

Only ever had one problem with burton where they sent me the worng part. I got the correct part the next day by 11am without them recieving the incorrect part in return and they didn't debit my card either.

Just don't order anything by E-mail
I find it best to do it over the phone, never had any problems with them.

ive had a few probs with burtons before.. either i had given the wrong card number on an order.. partly my fault but they never rang me to say this.. i contacted them 3 or 4 days later and finally got the order sorted..
it also took fucking TIME to get my adjustable TCA's from them

The online service is a bit slow but when you ring up its normally there faster cant fault them really, dont think 8 days is that long to wait either unless you asked for next day
