M&P What service
 
I ordered a new Takachi Helmet off Ebay yesterday through M&P accessories.
It was ordered at 4.30 last night & it turned up on the doorstep at 9.20 this morning. :) Now that is what i call service.
I am so impressed with the price as well. Paid £50 for the last one, need a new visor which would have cost £20 odd quid. The helmet has cost me £36.94 inc postage :cool:

Thats odd, i've had bad experiances with mis-advertising on M&P

What made you mail-order a helmet? I wouldnt trust that

:confused:

Why wouldn't you? Do they get better qulity helmets it the shops? If it is corectly boxed and packed than there is no reason to doubt it IMO. Prices on the net are extremely competitive so I do not understand anyone who buys from the shops these days. Why pay over the odds?

Im a bit worried as to how stuff is cared for in transit by curior companies who dont neccaserily know whats in the box...i guess its because its a life saving peice of equipment that I'm a bit worried about buying helmets off the net or mail order. Wasnt as bothered when i brought my TV or laptop. Guess it is a bit irrational

What about the couriers who delivered it to the shop?

This was why I put the thread up. I had read a few on here that people had bad experiences with M&P, so thought would give credit where it was due.

Matt, the helmet & boxes came through without any blemishes at all. There was the helmet in it's box in another box fairly well packed, so no issues there. I also knew that the helmet would fit as I have 2 Takachi helmets at the mo and the price couldn't be sniffed at £29.99 + insured postage.

It is predominantly my race helmet and I will take the visor off my old one and fit this to the new helmet because I wont be using it in the dark, so wont have car headlight issues like I have now.

I would return it if the box looked damaged. But mine, same as mister's was well packed and I fully trust it. No issues there and £150 saved.
