Poor service. Inexperienced staff whom don't speak fluent English. Poor English skills. Low prices and Poor metal classification. Would definitely go elsewhere.

What I have found time and time again is that these guys have always given us the best actual amount of actual money in our hands, particularly for mixed copper cable. Their quoted price may sometimes appear to be lower than others, but they always grade the cable better than everyone else so we always end up walking out with more cash. That plus I reckon there is some dodgy scale stuff going on elsewhere and these guys are honest and fair. We will continue to use ARE and thank them for helping out Indicommms over the years. Cheers guys, keep up the good work
