    I ordered 2 double sided printed drop banners from a well known Banner company (S43 postcode). Detailed drawing & measurements were supplied but on fitting they came up short requiring new stainless mountings to be made up and a return visit to site.

    Does this company care? It seems not. Not a comment. Not a sorry. Nothing, after 2 emails and a phone call.
    So much for customer service.

    Miffed to say the least. (:)

    We had a delivery of a trough light last week only to find the tube smashed.

    Phoned supplier and response was:

    "oh we get this all the time and sorry we can’t send new one out or reimburse you as it’s the couriers fault"

    So I have to go and buy new one and clean out the mess at my own cost?

    "Yes"

    aaahh !

    John, is it not down to them to chase the courier for damaged goods? if this happens a lot I would have thought they would supply the lights without tubes fitted, or maybe they supply them all with smashed tubes to make some extra money & just blame the courier :lol1: :lol1:

    RE trough lights
    yes we get this all the time, they never get it when I say please can you pack the tubes on their own next time please ! which turn up NEVER BROKEN its only when the long length of lighting get dropped the tubes go, so why not pack them as you do when I call to say the tubes inside the fitting are broken ahhhhhhhhhhhh, its the dust and glass that take ages to clean out !!!!!!!!!!!
