Hi, are Neil Brothers a legit company? the prices look good but I'm a bit put off with the £300 minimum order and them requesting payment via bank transfer and not knowing postage cost till I've ordered so I'm just after a bit of reassurance.

Also wondered about trying their AAA Orca mugs instead of my usual Xpres ones, will I be disappointed?

Thanks

Yes they are a legit business. I assume they set the order minimums so they don't have to deal with the small 'home run' business set ups.

Only way to check the mug quality is to buy and test. Xpres mugs we find generally are the best but recently some buyers have been having issues and price has gone silly.

I purchase from them all the time and yes they are a perfectly legit company.

Their mugs are Orca coated so you could try a supplier like MDP supplies and purchase just one box to see what the coating is like. I personally use Neil Brothers for quite a few jobs and never have any issues.

The will only send items out via pallet and have two prices. This is for the Mainland but the prices are £48 for a two to three day and £53 for a next day (both plus VAT and approx).

Proper company, just 'oldschool' wholesalers that set a minimum order and carton lots.

Ha Ha - most of the other UK suppliers buy from them at the same price as you can and then add a bit more on :-)

I've only just heard of them after being on here for years and it wasn't even from here! When you google the address it shows a solicitors not a warehouse so just checking they exist before parting with my £300+ So thanks everyone :)

Good luck parting with just £300. It's a pallet service only so that adds on another £40-£50 :-(

That is just the registered address of the limited company.

I thought it might be but it was just another reason for me to double check with you guys, always better safe than sorry.
