...customers how bad my experience was.) Eventually I would not be beaten I just stayed on the phone till this was resolved, this did not happen after spending literally hours trying to fix things. I have sent numerous emails including my last which I addressed to the managing director to organise a refund and got no reply. I would say that they failed on every point of a retailer! My experience is one of the worst experiences of buying anything ...
