Late Tuesday night/Wednesday morning i ordered 25kg pale malt and some yeast from HBC and DPD just dropped it off. I have never got an order that fast from anyone before so well done HBC. ;D Feck it now i have to brew at the weekend :(
agreed - my last order from them was insanely fast
Yeah they've become my go-to supplier over the last while if they have what I need in stock. Turnaround on orders is always just so effecient.
Same here, ordered Tuesday evening, got them yesterday morning.
They've 10% off all orders today for Black Friday too.

Where did you see the 10% discount? I can't see it on the site. Or do you know the code??

It's across the site just, if you check the prices you can see everything has (at least) 10% off.
Ah I see! Thanks! :D
Oh! Well, I guess I know where I'm buying today now >:)
just ordered! ;D
And ordered. Dropped about €300 even with the discount, but oh so much grain, not to mention a mill that I keep promising myself! Don't think I'll need to put in another order for about a year now. :D
An interesting point for the suppliers here though is I was comparing prices, but others showed a lot of items out of stock, so they lose out on orders. Instead of splitting my order, I just got everything in the one place as a result.
If you have an online presence, you have to keep your store front updated or you'll lose a lot of potential customers. That, coupled with an offer like this and fast shipping means a lot.
Many thanks for the Black Friday deal!
Have just ordered next year's wine kits and a few extra goodies

Yup, also I had a problem with my order and sent in an email. Response within 5 minutes and problem sorted within 10. I have a hard time bringing myself to order from anywhere else if the standard of service stays at that level.
