Ron Hale Marine
Deserve a mention for general excellence. I've just had them deliver a SIB to me in Northern Ireland.
Good website, good deal, good communications, good bloke, good postage charges and speedy dispatch.

Yep they repaired a tube for me. No problems with their work at all.

Blimey, Ron Hale to me are the expensive little local outboard shop in Southsea that I gave up on a few years ago as they never usually had what I wanted, and when they did it was very expensive.
Perhaps I'll have to give them a try again and have a look at their website.

Feck off! There's enough whingin' and general misery on here about crap service. I thought it would be good to counterpoint the Dan Cooper thread with some better news.
FWIW, I have many product/service suppliers at work, and I'm not slow about telling them who's naughty or nice. I think that it's very important to mention the nice ones - we tend not to notice them 'cos they're so painless.
Anyone else had good/very good/excellent experiences with ribby suppliers?

'I paid money and I received a bit of an outboard' would be refreshing.

Sorry to get yer hopes up mate - they're still not actually GIVING stuff away 
In my case, they had it in stock, it was 20% below RRP and the postage was a bargain. Maybe I got lucky. Sometimes I do...

yeah, bad example - you know what I mean though 
Cleaning pads at Ribshop perhaps? 
Speaking of Ribshop, there's another top bloke, that Kieron. His online checkout wanted £15 to post a 300g envelope to NI. A quick PM and he sorted the madness out forthwith...

Contrary to popular belief, and despite trying very hard not to, I do sometimes pay for stuff rather than blag, swap or barter them.

Hugh Jardon (remember him? ) bought his 200 Opti from Ron Hale, so it must have been a bargain.
