Well I had to return two items with totally different type of customer service. One was a Thomas sabo sterling silver necklace which I had bought for dd's 17th birthday. When she opened the box she discovered the chain was broken. The asst manager of the shop insisted that  these things don't break and my daughter must have been drunk and some could have pulled it off her neck! He nearly said " or drugged" when i jumped on him verbally. He was rude obnoxious and vile. I was shaking by the time I left the  chatswood shop...he has to send it HO to determine how it was broken,...brand new! Never worn! Unbelievable. 

In contrast, I took back my soehle weighing scale to victoia's Basement alexandria since  it did not work and they allowed me to buy something else from the shop since I did not have the receipt. What a contrast in customer service. Guess I am going to tell everyone to stay away from Thomas sabo products.



That is outrageous. Put it  writing  in the nicest possible way.  I find telling it truthfully without the angst often results in a win win.  Call first to find whom to direct the  letter is a good start. Good luck.

Pox on him.

Got my brothers unused and unopened pasta machine yesterday and a pasta cookbook. Going to have some fun making pasta when I have time.

I just bought, well for my shop a whole range of seeds, all organic.  ( just delivered today)

Now we can clean up the vege garden and plant some at home....

There nothing like fresh veges from the garden,

The ice molds are good for those people who drink scotch or other whiskey. They keep your spirits cold but melt slowly so they don't get watered down.
