Post by: Rory on January 20, 2022, 10:28:40 AM
Which of the ‘addocks is the best in relation to stock and delivery?

C or P?

"C" can have hard to find parts and best to call them to buy or go to the shop, delivery has been an issue for a while.
"P" are on the whole much quicker for delivery, but do not have hard to find parts.

I've always had great service from Paddocks. You also get a 10% discount if you are a club member.

I haven't used Craddocks for a long time but will be soon as they seem to list some of the series one parts I need.

as said above, craddocks is good for hard to find parts
paddocks good for general items

ive had good delivery times from both personally

once bought a rear station wagon handle from craddocks, said it was out of stock but i asked, a month later it arrives on my door step, guess someone in the warehouse found one :RHD

A while back Craddock's were awful.

Recently they seem to have bucked their ideas up  :cheers

... and don't forget, Blanchards are still major players.

Unfortunately both will take your order and your money, even though they have no stock. You only find this out when you phone for delivery info. Both have done that to me.

Used both and found Paddocks the best.  Tried to buy a small piece from Blanchard's and well the postage and packing to the Highlands was more than the part itself, so didn't bother.

As per another recent thread, Paddocks delivery times have been sketchy for some.

I am still awaiting my delivery 10 days after ordering. However, they only emailed after 7 days to say they had just ordered one part from another supplier that is on 2 day lead time. Why not do that 5 days earlier, not after 7 days?
If they had contacted me to say it was on backorder I would have removed it from the order, as it was only a clevis pin for the tailgate chain holder! yet it was delaying the rest of my large order. Looks like I won't now get my order until next Wednesday.....another 5 days.  :thud

+1 for the fish and chips from the haddock paddock in Sedburgh.  Very good last September when I went out of curiosity when in the area.
It used to be called the Odana, and was run by my uncle in the late 70x and 80s !!  It hasn't changed much.  Still had the outhouse at the back where I would make up 3 bath fuils of chips for lunch on market days !!
