I appreciate there is a fan club for Global barrow conversions but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with BCUK? I know that they had a long wait time but is that still the case?
Yes still a longer wait time than Global but i think there more transparent now about it on Facebook with regular updates.
I've also seen you can pay Klarna so split it over 3 months.

I've had in order since may. I'm just in the process of cancelling it and it's due within a week or so. Welcome to take over my order.
Drop me a pm if interested in. Skipping months of wait time haha

I waited ages for mine. I brought it at the big One carp show beginning of march. i finally got it in august. The main problem was you couldnt get hold of anyone. I was told a 6-8 week lead time at the time of purchasing.
I think many have been through this. Although they now give regular updates on facebook.
I was really pleased with mine and im glad i waited.

Well apparently they are pretty much the same barrows
I hear they both use the same motorised wheel
BUT the connectors on the BCUK are more heavy duty metal ones
its not on Global`s website but when you order you just request the metal heavy duty ones I have the standard slimline plastic ones and happy with them

The only thing putting me off the Global kit is the bling wheel?

I'll see if I can find out, the Global one in the pictures/video's seems to be like a chrome finished alloy wheel where are the BCUK is a solid black wheel ?
Don't you work for Global? Or have some association?

My BCUK wheel was all black.When I bought my Barrow which was a while ago
Aesthetically it looked different to the global at the time. I don't no if the motors etc are the same,I was told the motors were assembled in house,I'm assuming the components were from China.
If I bought another kit in the future personally I'd go global but that's just from my experience.

Experience, but not on purchase yet.
In August I e-mailed after hours and a lady got back to me almost instantly. She replied quickly over the next couple of days to all but the last e-mail where I asked if someone had had a chance to look at the previous e-mail. In one of the e-mails she asked for my number so someone could call me, they never did.
I called 3 times over the next week, no answer.
This Monday I called again, number invalid, try this number. Called and got straight through. The chap was very helpful, explained the items were available for immediate dispatch, but weren't on the site yet. That's where I'm up to, probably give you some idea re comms

no of course not as well you know you sarcastic nob
I just believe in being fair and honest with anything I recommend I have always said all THREE company's make good barrows and not a lot of difference between them except aftersales and delivery times and yes I always prefer Global as they have been making the kits for well over 10 years and have no need to advertise here there and everywhere and take orders they cant meet in a decent time frame
