Marine-Super-Store

anyone have any previous dealings with them ? whats their response time and attitude when solving a problem.

Story in brief : 1 month ago bought a midland neptune fixed set, opened box when arrived to measure template for position in console, put back in box, tonight came to last few jobs on the SR refurb, Radio last but one, plugged it in and it lights up, NO squelch, hissing anything, double checked all feeds / aerial etc all spot on,

have emailed them and need a very quick fix / exchange, whatever, as back end of next week its in the water for a week playing round Torbay.

well, spoke with the manager Elaine, who passed me onto the firm that supplies them, he confirmed my "diagnosis" that the unit is faulty, he passed me back to MSS, who are sending another unit, which hopefully arrives Friday, and then i can test and send the original one back, Lets hope it works out like that. Will update this thread if things do work out.

i have bought things from them in the past and have been first rate! hopefully the OP can come back to confirm they sorted him out...
