Default Autodoc is runing a blackfriday sale

As the title says. Autodoc is running a black friday sale.
The discounts are real, but of course not as much as they advertise. I know because unfortunately I had just bought 150€ worth of brake parts without realising this sale was beginning a few days later.
They claim 35% discounts but comparing the prices on the parts I bought, the real discount is 15-20%.

EDIT: As far as I can gather online and on the countdown on the website it's only today until midnight!?!? Who makes a random blackfriday sale on a thursday? Words mean nothing it seems.

They do discounts randomly a lot of the time. I was going to buy a reconditioned rack from them but typically none in stock…ever

Maybe that's more of a uk related problem?! I've never had problems with autodoc or other autodoc affiliated dropshipping websites. Most of these EU parts websites are just dropship companies and if you dig a little it's autodoc that ships the stuff.
Anyways, I've used both one of these other companies and autodoc and while the shipping does take around 6-8 work days to arrive (normally 2 days to send and 4 to arrive to spain), it did arrive every time. One time I think something was missing and they sent it right away when I complained. Don't even remember very well, so it must not have been a big issue. Mistakes happen. They answer the emails all the time on the same day.

Ebay on the other hand... Bought the spares for injector refurbish, its already 7 days after supposed arrival and ebay doesn't give a crap about my complaint. So I lost 32€ there.

I've used them several times (shipping to UK) and not had an issue yet...
