I know this may sound stupid Karl, but try sending them a good old fashioned written letter and register the postage so that you know that they have to sign for its receipt and you can also track the letter on your PC...It seems to me that some companies, no matter how good, tend to ignore some e.mail...Its worth a try mate...keep us posted

Hi Karl! Glare

It's a problem isn't it! first when you send it, did you get proof of post, second did you get the parcel insured. most post is only covered for around £30 you have to tell them at the post office if it costs more, so you get the right service and cover.

So Karl you should have contacted them first to get your return number. I would phone them to see what has happened to the parcel you sent them.

karl,

the longer you leave it the moor upset you are going to get. ring them first thing politly and calmy explane the problem and what you have done in returning the package. if they claim not to have had it you can ask the post office to trace the package. If you paid on your credit card you have insurance and can get your money back.

good luck

Hi Karl,

I've had a few problems with them myself recently. Ordered a couple of kits & was told they would both leave on Friday the 22/10. 1 kit arrived on Monday the 25th, phoned and eventually got through & was told the outstanding kit was going to leave Tuesday 26/10. Never recevied it and have never had ant replies to emails either, Eventually got through on phone after it seemed to be continually engaged, they did re-credit card without quibble but gave no reason concerning kit. It was a Jokita/Caldercraft so shouldn't have been supply issues.

Hope you manage to get it sorted soon.

Wilfy
