Counter sales unreliable. Good online delivery
I wanted to get a relay over the counter so I could see it and ask advice if I needed to. The website listed one on the shelf in Blackpool so I went there but they did not have it.
Ordered online and it arrived the same evening. Fitted ok so nothing to ask.
