surplus and adventure

[ex-member Raikey]

a FULL days work....

making the link between "him" and Sporticus,....

i had a terrible day,...sat at my desk "getting phoned at" and "doing some meetings"

then my mate Dave decided to make my day worse by sending me that, compounding the fact he was "faffing" while i was being all stressed and that..

Epic facepalm...

Cheers chap. When I first saw it I forgot to note where it was and I didn't find it again until recently. The frame and legend were easy - getting it to a decent size is proving to be both taxing and vexing :viking:

Ever since I joined BCUK waaaay back in 2003, The problems with "said company" seem to have been constant, and I guess they'll continue.
It does make me wonder how they are still operating after such bad press and the recession combined?

The only company I truly trust is Amazon for prompt delivery, I ordered an item three weeks ago from some company on Ebay which cost me 95p but £4:80p P+P it arrived yesterday but nobody was in. The company must be on the Moon.

The Royal Mail left a note saying give it 24 hrs, I did, travelled a few miles today and guess what? it hadn't arrived there. God! I hate the Royal Mail, not the first time this has happened.

There is no doubt just how bad S&A actually are,but why do so many people still order from them?, it's getting to the point where if you have a bad experience with them it's your own fault as there are so many people on here who could tell you to shop elsewhere..I still think the best service I have ever gotten was from Endicotts, won't ever go near S&A simply because of the bad reports I have read here and elsewhere.

It's the temptation of a bargain

I've never *not* gotten my order from them, but sometimes one bit comes literally months later and sometimes I reckon that their sizing methods might well belong in a lucky bag pick and mix.

I think they get swamped.

cheers,
Toddy

I read this at the time of posting, then I went on to order something from them without making the connection that it was this store. Anyway, the order was cancelled because they wanted me to provide them with ID for buying a knife (no scanner or fax machine), so I cancelled the order. I noticed the other day that they charged me for this order, so I sent them an email 4 days ago asking for a refund, still haven't heard anything.

Avoid this store...

I think I've cracked their business model. It's truly marvelous in its simplicity. Get lots of people to place orders that you never intend to fill, but string them along for a couple of months. Hold their money until they kick up enough fuss to refund them and live off the interest.

Only problem is the interest rates are rock bottom, even with £500,000.00 worth of orders you couldn't live off the interest.

after a second chaser email, I was given a response saying that I would get a refund. Hopefully it will be sorted...
