Ar$e

I've just arranged delivery for my Ben Nevis but accidentally told the courier company when we'd be away on holiday. Doh!

SoupDragon · 02/08/2005 09:16

Misdee, have you thought about laying it on thick about your situation?

misdee · 02/08/2005 09:26

i did SD. if anything comes in stock then they will call me.

and pigs might fly.

SoupDragon · 02/08/2005 09:27

Write to their MD, and everyone else you can think of. Or maybe a MN campaign to hassle them?

misdee · 02/08/2005 09:31

watchdog.

geogteach · 02/08/2005 09:33

Just spoken to them again, seems i'm not getting one either (so glad I hadn't told the kids about it) I was advised to phone head office to complain!

misdee · 02/08/2005 09:34

whats head office number? i have also told them they are useless.

geogteach · 02/08/2005 09:43

0845 6096688

katierocket · 02/08/2005 09:57

we're not getting one either

misdee · 02/08/2005 09:58

have put a complaint in.

charliecat · 02/08/2005 10:14

Thats not right, as it was online they should have had a quanitity and as they were sold you know, tick one off...to sell more than they had is ridiculus. Get complaining.

OP posts:
misdee · 02/08/2005 11:04

thats what i said. apparently their system doesnt work like that.

charliecat · 02/08/2005 11:06

can you not get something similar at the same price? How many other people has this affected? Is there anyway to find out on the net or whatever?

OP posts:
misdee · 02/08/2005 11:11

i am looking now stuff, but its all over twice the price.

charliecat · 02/08/2005 11:11

On ebay the 85 quid castle going for 350 and the ben nevis at 400.

OP posts:
misdee · 02/08/2005 11:15

charliecat · 02/08/2005 11:15

OP posts:
misdee · 02/08/2005 11:18

sparklymieow · 02/08/2005 13:44
