Is now the right time to have a growl about boiler makers? OK then I'll do so anyway. I ordered a boiler last year from a company also well known for cheese. I paid a 20% deposit with 2 further payments due; one at the start of production and one on completion which was quoted for mid Dec 2006. A couple of days ago ie in mid April I got an invoice dated 1 March for the first stage payment. The letter was postmarked the night before I got it. Oddly enough they got a sharp letter back. I don't mind delays. I prefer delays I'm warned about but I can understand sometimes things don't go right. I do get very annoyed about people sending me back dated invoices and trying to pass the blame off on me. I rather doubt I'll be using the services of this particular company again and on balance I'd rather have my deposit refunded than have them make the boiler. I can't encourage you to use them. _________________________________________________________________ Solve the Conspiracy and win fantastic prizes. http://www.theconspiracygame.co.uk/ MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
