seems the first time the girl in the office pressed the number 2 instead of the number 1 when totaling postage costs which was settled amicably
second time they sent the wrong item a snider case instead of a martini henry sent them a nice email they said send it back and they will refund postage which they did not sent them 2 emails to remind them eventually refunded credit card ,,know they will not accept orders from me. what a firm

I purchased from them what they called a Martini Henry sight ladder. When I got it it turned out to be a Martini Enfield ladder. After an e-mail they changed the wording on their ad and asked that I return the Enfield ladder to them.They don't carry Martini Henry ladders. They refunded only the cost of the sight. Not what it cost me to return it from New Zealand. Not a vast ammount of money but bad P.R. on thier behalf.
They made and admitted a mistake but I am the one out of pocket.
You’ve got every right to be fuming … banning you when you are in the right is just plain stupid!! – he even got his wife to do it for him!! – what a whimp!

That seems a harsh way to treat you.
Just to balance things Mr Dyson spent a enormous amount of time on the phone with beloved recently when she was trying to order a complete set of checkering equipment as a surprise gift.
He really did go out of his way to explain it all and put together the exact package I needed at a very fair price, I think she knows more about checkering now than I do.
Just speaking as I find

Who TF is Dyson?????
I sold him a Snider once and found him honourable and straight to deal with. Dunno what's happened in this case, but it doesn't look good getting his missus to pass his bad news - such matters are better dealt with directly.
