Would most likely stay away, a lot of these pages are scams!

Ditto, if I'm after parts I will always try Chris Harris the parts guy at FRF Volvo in Swansea, they do club member discount, varies from 5% - 30% depending on parts, and they can get in from Sweden.

If they return the dreaded No Longer Available, then, and only then, do I try the various aftermarket suppliers, Autodoc etc

If you would like their details, let me know and I will add contact details on here.

Cheers
Steve

In answer to the OP’s question: no, I have never bought parts via that Facebook page.

If you scroll down the posts there are wheels allegedly refurbished in Milton Keynes and XC90 lamps shipping throughout the Russian Federation.

The “Page Transparency” information is quite interesting too. You will see that the page changed name to its current one less than a month ago and most of its updates originate from Cameroon. The recent name change may mean that many of its followers and likes date from a time when it appeared as something different to now.

By the way, a page or website connected with a UK business must, by law (Companies Act, 2006), include the company’s address and contact details.

As to the level of satisfaction one might derive by sending money in response to something listed on the page; IMHO that may depend more on the side one’s planning to support in WW3 rather than from the timely delivery of rare Volvo parts.

Caveat emptor!
