Have DemonPlates tricked me into paying additional postage?

Registration of Registration Plate Suppliers 2008 - Schedule: verification ducunents. Makes no reference of copies, scans, faxs or even certified copies being accepted.

But then I stand to be corrected with you show me the legislation.

Why do you need me to show you the legislation that you have clearly already seen?

I am glad you agree that there is nothing in there to say that "copies, scans, faxs (sic) or even certified copies" are not able to be used. However again you seem to think that original documents need to be physicality handled and inspected and I can't see where it refers to that in the said legislation. Perhaps you could either clarify or stop repeating the same waffle without anything to back it up.

Finally as the OP has said repeatedly, none of this makes a jot of difference to their original query - which I believe has now been answered in that the seller doesn't understand the difference between 'delivery' and 'despatch'.

It's on the .gov website the op used.

The OP hasn’t posted any links to .gov sites here, or to any other sites for that matter

In fact the only link to any website in this entire thread was posted by you, and it was to demon plates which is not a .gov site

.gov sites are sites owned and administered by the US Government by the way, perhaps you could expand on the relevance once you let us know which .gov site you are referring to?

Back on topic... there are at least 5 posts on this thread asking you to clarify why you believe there is a requirement for the seller to physically handle the original paper document. The. OP has already confirmed they provided the required documents electronically, which as far as I can see meets the requirements of the legislation.

If I am mistaken I would be happy to concede that what you’re saying is correct but you have repeatedly been asked why you think this is the case and provided absolutely nothing to support what you are saying.

In response to the first question:
No, you haven't been duped. If they were busy, and didn't post it out within, say, 4 days, you could ask for a refund of the £3.99.

The timescales given in the two options mean that they will dispatch within those times. It's great if it's earlier, but it's probably there so that people can't whinge about it if they choose free delivery and it takes 5 days to dispatch.

You can by all means ask for a refund but they don't need to give you one and they can show you that they did stick to their timescales.

The FAQ shows that they try to dispatch next day, but doesn't guarantee they will. The delivery method choices give the times in which they will dispatch.

Can you see the difference?

Actually, my £3.99 postage charge is the topic! It was AndyMc's insistence on accusing me of breaking the law that hijacked the thread.

The plates I've bought were a waste of money because they're "show plates". No police officer will ever pull me over because Demon Plates only saw a photo of my V5. The plate adheres to the rules, my V5 is genuine, Demon Plates are listed as a supplier by the DVLA - I'm sure there's nothing wrong here.

And by the sheer number of illegal plates I see every day, I don't think the DVLA, the police or anyone else actually gives a damn anyway.

No, I can't see the difference. Explain that to me again.

Do the plates have the name of the company on them and their postcode at the bottom ?

If he did report your post then he wasn't the only one because I did too. There's no need to resort to childish name calling - if you don't like the responses from a particular member then put them on your ignore list, something you should be aware of if you're now on your third user name.

What does that have to do with my £3.99?

I've told you, the plates are legal. There's no need to ask further questions to check that they're legal.

You said they were "show plates" so i'm just seeing if they are road legal or not.

If you provided them with your V5C document over email as you said and they sent you plates without their Company name and Postcode on them then you would have a good reason to get a refund.

This would included a refund of your £3.99 postage as they have would have supplied incorrect goods. So it would solve your original problem!
