"Hellfrauds" - I see what you mean!

Went into Halfords the other day to get a wiring block for my Blaupunkt CD31, to fit in my 940gle. That was the 27th July. They didn't have the part I needed, so they ordered it in, to be ready for collection on 1st August. So I went up to Merry Hill on Monday, wasn't in. Called Friday, wasn't in. Called today, it might, maybe, perhaps be in next Wednesday, if not the week after!

Here was me thinking 'Oh, I'll pay the extra and get it faster!'

Hi,

I'd ask for a refund of the extra for getting it faster. They obviously haven't...

Went into the Slough branch a few weeks ago to try and find a tamper proof tax disc holder for the TR6 as I often park it with the roof down and it's a bit vulnerable.

"Have you got any tamper proof-tax-disc holders? " I asked the "assistant".

He proceeded to take me to the tax-disc holder display. "There's the tax-disc holders" he said.

"Yes, but do you have any TAMPER PROOF holders?"

He took me to another rack with all the Max Power add-ons.

"These are the only other ones we got", he said.

"Are they TAMPER PROOF?" I asked

"No", came the reply.

I left.

Thanks all - found the secur-i-disc website so will order a few from them! (postage the same however many you order!)

Any car left with it's roof open and parked up deserves an old mattress stuffed in it!

ok... I'm envious... ;-) I know if I did that, all the flocks of seagulls would find me, even though I'm as far inland as you can be!

I'd go and pick the part up when it eventually arrives. Ask for say 20% discount because of the delay, if they don't honor it walk out.

Depends how much you want the lead though - make a point and wait a little longer to get it from somewhere else or just grumble and out up with it!
