This is just the kind of web page our Northampton Trading
Standards office would make mince meat of.
They do NOT make it totally clear on the check out that
charge is for carriage. It also includes VAT which they do
not show separately.
Also, if you opt to make a 10 Pound donation to "Sick Kids",
you will find that they add VAT to your donation.
Moreover, I do not see any sign of a VAT number.
And additionally, what is the postal location and address of
the company, never mind a telephone number?
If I sound rather bitter and twisted, it is because the web
sites of both ourselves and another well known Northampton
company have been lambasted by Northampton Trading Standards
on a variety of points - and we don't even come close to
what's wrong with the SWREG web site.
