    Why do some posters post questions on forums when all they want is a nodding dog to sit in front of them, maybe Bits & Pieces have one you can order.

    I looked to see if they sold one.

    They don't, but if I need help they give me a number to call - area code is for Ohio :rotfl:

    I have just re-checked and it isn't pre-set for the USA and it doesn't have any reference to USA$ it does have a drop down box but the default is UK. You must be on the USA site or an employee of Bits & Pieces

    No I'm on the UK site look:

    And I'm not an employee. Did you know people always get accused for working for a company? Bit of a silly assumption really.

    I think you mean your on the UK site...:)
  • I have just re-checked again and their is no mention of EST on homepage or USD when ordering. It suggests instead that its a UK website which provides UK goods within a 28 day standard caveat timescale. It suggest a UK address with a UK phone no. My original discussion was about them pretending to be UK based but goods instead brought in from the USA hence unreasonable timescales involved without clear information explaining this process. However the reality of the situation is that you don't get your goods (I haven't) and the Mirror has investigated providing evidence that many people are left without their goods. They take you money but they don't deliver. From my perspective, its a warning to other users, something that is lacking in our society these days. Instead Poppie69 suggests that this discussion is asking others for agreement hence the nodding-dog analogy. Again the poor love is one crumb short of a biscuit.

    Again trying to insult when in fact he makes no impact on myself, it just says a lot about you!.

    And the page before that you have to select your country to calculate the delivery cost - from an alphabetical list of just about every country on the planet, but with United States placed at the top.

    Both pages reference free shipping if the order exceeds $25

    Still not seeing the references to zip code, or are you just choosing not to.

    Just spotted that they use the American calendar format too :T

    My screenshot has a reference to dollars & EST. That would be enough for me to figure this is coming from the States.
