I ordered a big scratch pole from the net, it was an extra £10 for delivery which I didn't mind...Got a phonecall this morning, as we live in the Highlands of Scotland delivery is £30....We don't live in the Highlands! but they say we do!!! Now the firm I bought the pole from is looking for a cheaper carrier....

Re: Angry...


They have no right to charge you extra as it wasn't stated in their delivery terms Moli.....

Re: Angry...


Moli - you've every right to be annoyed. However it's the supplier's responsibility to stick to their terms and conditions and if necessary to take a hit on their profit and supply for the price arranged.

I know if we mis-quote to a client who subsequently places the project with us, and then we discover WE'VE got the estimate wrong - we have to swallow the difference - the client will jsut say 'tough' . . . and I would too!!!!!
