The item I need is available(on the website) from these folks potentially saving £60.00 on a £320.00 item. Lots of negative comments about them in the past so, should I take the chance??

No

By the reports on here - only if you don't want to see the item ...

In our experience, very unwise

I did a few years back, ordered a large anchor which appeared to be about half the price of anywhere else. It was delivered quickly but most certainly was not brand new, suspect it was bought from a closing down sale as it had a lot number stuck to it. However it was just an anchor, even if not shiny and new, although unused, so did the job just the same. BUT I would certainly not trust them again.

They will probably have to get it in if you order it, hence the long delivery times and non answering of 'phone calls. Reminds me of a conversation my salesman had with a punter for a Yamaha TZ125 motorcycle once "How much is a TZ125 mate" " £1295.00 sir" "What- they are only £1195.00 at Faulkners" Well sir, I suggest you go to Faulkners and buy one" "I would but he has'nt got any" Oh, thats all right then- ours are only £995.00 when we havent got any!"

Only if you don;t need it in a hurry. Be prepared for them to cancel your order too.

only if you go there to buy it and pay cash when you see the item!

Contrary to most reports on here I have used them six times over five years and have had no major problems. A couple of late arrivals but always resolved by them. If you require something tomorrow probably not your best bet but if you have time to wait not a problem. I continue to use them (despite warnings on here) because they are competitive paticularly with the 15% discount through the CA. If they are as bad as some say would they still be in business? Having said that some people have obviously had problems. Its your money - but I am happy to use them.

I bought from them when I first started boating because they were cheap but after 4 weeks of waiting I cancelled my order.

I then had to wait and chase for the subsequent refund. Not a pleasant experience.

 

[Plevier]

No no no no no no never!!!!!

 

[Tintin]

It's rare to find so many consistently negative comments, and even the most positive had a wait.

 

[the_branflake]

Rubbish... i've got some paint on order with them. Guess i'm in for a bit of a wait.

Hi Nick, do you work for Marine Mega Store? I only ask because more than 5% of your posts to the site have been in praise of them where every other person on the site has nothing but bad things to say. Now you may just be the luckiest person alive, in which case could you please post some lottery numbers?

 

[nimrod1230]

Oh dear. I guess I already knew the reply so based on the advice here will try someone else and spend the money. Thanks all for the heads up.

 

[neale]

I have used them twice. Both times the items ordered turned up in an average amount of time, not super quick but didn't have to chase either.

No - just a fairly satisfied customer. As far as I am aware I have posted only four times re MMS (2 of them in reply to a query about the link on RYA site) in five and a half years.
I have always tried to give a balnced response and some might even think I had damned them with faint praise in my latest post - but obviously not you!

Well to be fair to them my order came today, within the 3-10 economy delivery they said (7 working days it took).
