Angry SWK - Pay Heid

Glad that the end is in site for you Barry. I posted on this site about SWK and their lack of communication with me to resolve a querry I had, guess what, still no response. One person tells TEN others of their experience and those ten tell....

Got my order today, I was so excited!!

Unfortunately, they made my sporran with the wrong cantle. So, after making my sporran with the wrong skin several times, I now have one with bovine skin (not seal, which is good), but with a cantle that doesn't match my belt buckle. They also sent me a sporran chain, instead of the sporran belt that I was promised.

I was so close!

One doesn't know whether to laugh or cry!

As I said above, this is a wearily familiar pattern... As long as orders stay within the normal processes, everything tends to work smoothly. But once something goes wrong, it seems inevitable that one thing after another will follow. May I just say...... aaaaaaargh!

Please PM or email me (nick AT scotweb DOT co DOT uk ) directly with the exact spec of the item you've been expecting Barry. I should probably have said this the first time. I'm going to make sure you get the sporran you want, even if I have to make it myself. (Okay, this latter suggestion is probably unwise polemic, given my limited craft skills - but you'll get my drift...)

And please keep this other one with our compliments.

I just wanted to update all concerning this saga:

My sporran arrived today (again)!

And.....

It looks great! Even better than I imagined! Nick really took care of me. He has had some serious difficulties with getting his sporrans made, etc, due to some website design issues (if I remember correctly); but I finally have the perfect sporran!

I couldn't be happier. Thank you Nick for taking care of me. This sporran is special, as it is the last item to complete my black-tie outfit that I'll be wearing when I marry my fiance'! It looks so amazing! Thank you again!

I'll be posting some pics, as well as reviewing this and some other items in the near future.
