it may be that to take a cheaper option on postage for you they have to drive somewhere else and stand in a queue to get postage and they don't have an account with that outfit so have to pay another way then log their receipts into their company book work, all for you saving a couple of quid.
did you offer to pick up?

It may be a tad difficult to attach stamps to "four small exhaust nuts" ...

Packaging costs ... and time spent packaging them for postage costs.

Not happy ... shop elsewhere.

...i drove 148k's return recently to do a small job for someone...i suggested they get someone closer to their job...'you have been recommended by a friend, we would like you to do it'...four hour job, i added an hour for travel...(was really over two hours) and they moaned about it...they wont be recommending me to any of their friends, i bet...they were from mother england also...

Fuck its only 4 nuts.
He should have given them to you for free.
And dropped them in your mailbox.

Being in business is easy bro. You shoud try it some time.

Genius! Who would want a whinging cunt like you as a customer.

[Katman]

Sympathy fail.

Some people are just arses. (It may have been other customers who made him mad, but by your description you didn't deserve the agro). Just get 'em elsewhere next time.

P.S. I vote "penis". A small one, probably.

How much would it have cost you to buy them from a bike shop - including your own time and travel costs?

Unfortunately a cheap deal isn't good enough for some people. What a moaner.

Whinging Pom:

A person of British origin who will consistently complain about any situation that they may face. They are emotionally unable to deal with any sort of adverse condition without commenting negatively about it.

The typical ‘whinging pom’ can be often located in such global locations such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada. Though also found in multiple other locations in high concentrations (such as the USA), they tend to countries that at least pay some lip service to their beloved monarchy.

That's just nuts, innit?

You knew the conditions AND the price ... but you paid anyway.

Your words ..

so I pay but put on message could he do postage a bit cheaper.

In writing ... it's hard to read feeling/mood. Perhaps he thought you were a Pom.

Did you get a refund .. ???

Really?...well that puts things in a different light.
He does sound like a coozer with an attitude that needs adjustment....or loosening.
Whats wrong with...''no worries mate, just come and get them''?

Hold on, you paid for the parts but not the advertised postage? Or you paid the full amount and expected a refund for cheaper postage?
