Hi,
As a new member firstly I must say "what a great service this is."
For mobile phone accesssories I use an Internet outfit called L8 Shop or Cover Shop in Formby Liverpool. The provide a first class service for good quality goods at reasonable prices. Delivery is also very competitive. However, their numbers are 0870 242 0256 and 08707 607 706. I have tried Directory Enquiries to get their geographical number but without success.
Any ideas.

Do you have a website name for this outfit,and  a post code.Do they have a geographical fax number if so what is it.

Hi Big John,

Thanks for replying.
They have a web site http://l8shop.net
Also I have tracked down a sister company whose web site is www.mpa3000.co.uk
Both are at the same address whose post code is L37 8EG
Neither show a fax number.

Hope this is helpful

Havent had any luck i am afraid.They appear to be part of the Coral Telecom Group. Only number i could find was on 01704 510 but didnt work.They have an E- Mail Facility, why not mail them and ask them to ring you.When they do see if 1471 reveals there number.

Big John,

Thanks...I'll keep researching and if I come up with anything will post it on this sight.

A pity because they provide a first class service. But any questions to a human being you have to dial this 0870 number.

I will still continue to recommend them. ;)

hello unlike your previous correspondent i have had terrible service from mpa3000/l8shop/coralphones i ordered parts for my phone on 4th june .money was taken from my credit card 6th june delivery 2 to 6 days shipped that day by my account but here we are on 1st july still not received. i sent several emails which they didnt bother to answer at mpa3000 before i worked out they were different companies and managed to get a reply only to be told the part was out of stock and they have no idea when they will arrive the addresses are      info@mpa3000.co.uk    info@l8shop.co.uk

Sorry to hear of your problems with the L8 phone shop. I have used them a number of times and found their service to be helpful, reasonably quick and price competitive. I have never bought anything very complicated only simple items like covers and cases. Another branch of the same outfit (I think) is http://www.i1010.co.uk/.
Hope all your problems are solved soon. BTW you have not got a geographical number for them, have you?

I contacted them on 01704 510057 in April 2004, but I don't know whether this number still works.

hello 4th july i have sent 2more emails to mpa3000 then one to l8 shop none of them answered .it was nothing complicated i wanted to buy only a keypad which according to their website is in stock,ill let you know if i ever receive my goods/a reply.ps how many more names does this outfit have. i know of covershop/l8shop/coral phones/mpa3000

got a message back from kate @l8shop apologising for my lack of service from mpa3000 , but still no information  or response from mpa sent yet another email today .you've guessed it, no  reply.

Margaret,
If you want to speak to human and not use an 0870 number then try 01704 825 812. I think this is the geographical number for the L8 Shop. They may put you through to other shops in the group.
Hops this helps resolve your problem.

i had a phone call from kate @ l8shop this morning apologising for mpas poor service and telling me the item is still not in stock even though their website says it is ,and no idea of a delivery date. the number she phoned me from was 01704876565.does anyone know a site that is not part of their company that i can order it from.as she told me another name which i cant remember at the moment,but it had blue in the title,thats the 5th one i have heard of.

Margaret,
Here are some other mobile phone accessory shops.
www.foneshop.com
www.mobileshop.com
www.mobilefun.co.uk
All have web sites you can order from or they have an 0845 type number.
I cannot vouch for any as I have always used L8 Shop.

thank you i have phoned mobilefun and they have told me it will be in stock on 8th july.the other name was blue unplugged. heres hoping .

I recommend Expansys. They are based in Manchester and yes, they do use an 0161 number!

mobilefun told me the part hasnt came into stock today,but they gave me a number for sony ericsson and i have ordered the part from them. i will let you know when i receive it as for mpa ???

today i finally received keypad as promised by sony ericsson in 3 days and no thanks to l8 shop

Indeed.  Shame I didn't read this before I ordered from them.  From what I can tell they do simply lie about stock levels.  I was messed about for 3 weeks and still didn't get my ordered item.

In the end I cancelled it, and wrote a quick report of my experience here.
