Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the service. We've checked the notes on your order and see there was a delay in the paperwork and can only apologise for this and we have looked to address this issue going forward. However, from our records, we can see that we received your request in March, not January as stated. With regard to your other points raised, we have standard operating policies in place for any order that is an EU or export sale. As you have no trade account in place with us and are within the EU we asked for payment to made in advance. Items will not be ordered or shipped until payment is received. We apologise if this is inconvenient but have had to implement this due to previous overseas trading experiences and it is now a company-wide policy. We understand this causes delays but have to balance this with protecting ourselves from financial risk. Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Tim
