apologies - slightly off topic but has anyone used or would recommend barrow buddies as my MK6 needs some attention!

Website still up and running with no mention of Korda that I can see.
Still able to add stuff to basket
So no one should be really getting the fob off from them

I'm just wondering has the quality of the frame deteriorated on the more recent models?
I'm still using my Mk6 PP bought in 2017. Its only fault in all the time since has been the need for a new set of batteries. I have had none of these structural failures that are being talked about here.
I've had no issues with the controller shorting out either, I just cover the whole barrow with the prestige cover and that keeps everything dry.
My biggest worry with it, is the front wheel and the nightmare that would be a flat tyre, but I raised that point on here some time back and a can of tyre foam seemed to be the answer if that happened.

Took mine to a local welder this morning £30 to have the cross bar welded back on. Looks far stronger now.
Just painting it up.
My mate sent his back to carp porter to be fixed when his broke... 2 months old. Took 4 weeks to get back..
That 8 nights fishing to me so done it myself.
I did wonder if the older models may be stronger, the new ones welds are crap.

The latest models are nowhere near as well made as the older models.I hope Korda get this sorted out and the supply issues,im going to wait to get a powerporter for a good few months now.I will wait to see what the new Korda Karriages are like once they have had a bit of time in charge

I think you will find that simply because the business has changed hands it cannot simply walk away from its existing obligations, not unless the company is wound up and restarts as something else.
If you are being dick*d around say on a 12 month warranty I would be threatening legal action.

As has been said if purchased from a shop and still in warranty its down to the shop to get it soughted to the customers satisfaction be it a replacement or refund. If you bought a TV, washing machine, fridge freezer ect from your local retailer you wouldn't be dealing with the manufacturer you would take it back for replacement or refund and tackle items are no different.

Bought it direct from prestige so to get fixed would have to send off. Pain in the backside.
Bottom line is the welds on the frames are really poorly done in china.
I wouldnt be surprised if another area breaks in the future,

That must be the difference, I still have the blurb that came with my 24v Mk6 and plastered all over it is "made in the UK".
But how poor is that? Charge people more for these later model PP barrows and slash your own costs and quality by outsourcing the frames (and god knows what else) to a far inferior supplier.
That's changed my whole mindset about this company

My understanding is (i maybe wrong) the electronics are still made in the Uk, the frames are outsourced

I am really dissapointed with the quality of my SH mk6, if the newer ones are worse they must be really crap.

Prestige is a UK based company, sorry if that had happened to me I'd of payed them a visit with the barrow for them to see and got a refund.

Guess it depends on the warranty as this barrow was purchased nearly 2 years ago now
EDIT: I'm sure they only offer 12 month warranty as I had an issue with my charger killing my batteries and only just got a replacement as I said I'd only had the barrow about a year

Even if its out of warranty I'm sure if it's not fit for purpose , the customer still has rights, oh how things have changed I've got a 12 year old mk2, hammered to death, still fine
