We are very lucky in the UK in this regard. Our contract would be with the retailer to provide shipping, as we pay them, not the shipper. If you pay for X-day delivery, it arrives in X days or you get your money back from the retailer. I've done this more than once. Any decent retailer would notice a trend and do something about it. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
