Whilst that's true I would rather go and pick it up, especially if they give me a good deal. I don't want to mess people around who are realistically doing me a favor

Id rather go and pick it up if it was fairly close, and by that I mean within Scotland. :D Driving 12 hours in a day for parts is something I do when I have to but Id rather not. 

 

And they are not doing you a favour, they're making a sale. Regardless, if packed correctly the shipping is insured and the seller is not on the hook anyway, thats what the insurance is for. Saying that, I cant think of an item Ive had delivered or shipped myself that was damaged if boxed correctly. The only think I did have delivered damaged was the Logosol Mill and I took pictures of that before it even left the truck. Davies where not fussed as they claimed it back off of the insurance, they where just glad it was documented before unloading as it made the claim much easier.

I agree they are making a sale but if they sell it to me for less than other companies then it's doing me a favour in my opinion. They could sell it for the same that others are selling it for and no-one would bat an eye. Maybe I am too easy on companies 🤷‍♂️

They are not selling it to for less out of the goodness of their heart, to a man they've never met before. :D They are selling it to you for less to secure the sale. After I assume they know what the competitor is charging. Ask @Johnsond what the cost price is on these. They're still making a decent profit. 

 

Buying from the company thats willing to undercut the competitor is not your buddy but it could be the start of a good business relationship.

My Logosol was replaced within a week. Guess it depends on who you shop with?
