People who have dealt with these before...are they any good? Ordered some lights off the last thursday and still nothing turned up, just wondering if this is normal or they are taking the piss.

Ihaven't delt with these as yet but id probably prefer them to www.essexracing.com as i sent these an e-mail before i purchased lights from them, and they would fit a 5dr (as these were for a 3dr) and they never, also they only paid just under half on what i paid for them   i strongly reccomend NOT to use these people. Just check your mail see what stage its at?

dealt with them on ebay, he sold me a pair of rear clusters that didnt say they werent E marked on the Advert but the box had it stamped all over that they werent legal.  I disputed this and got a £20 partial refund by paypal.  The guy phoned me about 3 times threatening me if i didnt give him the money back.  If i lived closer i would have went to see him and had it out with him. Bunch of TWATS i say.

Cant you read?  I bought some lights off GBK Performance on ebay.  They werent E marked but the advert never stated this.  I complained (item not as described) through PayPal and got a partial £20 refund. 
 
The owner\shop manager or whatever he was, phoned me up 3 times with threats if i didnt give him the money back.  He also phoned me after i left negative feedback.  Therefore i think they are a bunch of TWATS still   ???

Did the ad say that they WERE E-Marked? If not - you should have asked

  no they didnt say they were.  But thats my point.  If you bought them off the shelf in Halfrauds, you assume they're fine to fit, (why else would you buy them) got them home and they had "NOT ROAD LEGAL" stamped all over them you would feel a lil ripped off wouldnt you? I did but with the £20 refund i forgot about it all and the lights look gr8

I've ordered from GBK before, including a debadge grill and Depo headlights, which I ordered separately, quite some time apart. 
 
The grill arrived via Royal Mail no problems and the lights via Initial City Link. I ordered the lights on a Sunday and they arrived on a Thursday. 
 
Ordered Wednesday some new lights and grill all in one go (because of crash) and they said 5 to 7 working days. 
 
But they seem to be a pretty good company and are probably just overwhelmed with orders. 
 
Once they have been despatched, they will arrive within 24hours, as this is the service they used with City Link. So they are just slow their end!

Both my grill and lights have been despatched today via City Link   so depending on City Link service, I should get them tomorrow   
 
Would be worth giving them a call Tim!

I keep depos in stock now. £53 delivered.  
 
I actually stock them as well, rather than order them from Depo when an order comes in.
