Great experience there, Makka.

Sounds like some human error with incorrect part numbers, yeah?

SuperCr@p had a 20% off EVERYTHING sale recently. I went and bought about 6 things. Was in a queue for the register for about 20 minutes....finally paid and walked out....

:shock: Pr!cks didn't give me 20% off on 3 of the 6 items.....

There was no way I was going to stand in that queue again for 20 minutes....

They are hopeless...... :evil:

the local Supercheap to my parent's place (where i do most of my Mini work) is actually not stocking the range they used to, and no longer have the majority of the bits you need to do the mini. so it was off to repco we went, and that was a slightly better experience.

anyone else had that problem with supercheap? finding they are only stocking more generic stuff these days?
