I have absolutely no problem at all with them. 

I'm done, I could sit here until the tanker arrives debating this but I'm  going to read a book instead.

This in nuffin.

 

You should check out the running- from-the-chipper and codwood threads, and read the bangtidy debacles.

Skyland are the best arb company I have ever dealt with.

 

Mark, Barry and Chris are pretty approachable guys, they’re just not salesmen. 

 

Mark and Barry worked at the hard end of arb climbing for years, they aren’t some ponces who set up a successful arb shop with Daddy’s money.

 

Thank Mark,  it backs up my limited experience.

 

Turns out this was all very useful.

The law is that; "The retailer is responsible for goods until they are in your physical possession, in the possession of someone appointed by you to accept them or delivered to your nominated safe place."

 

John, regardless of whether the above is the ‘law’ (is it a quote from legislation, of a quote from some random website?)….

… the law of the land makes it their responsibility to see that the courier does in fact make sure the goods are physically recieved by me or someone appointed by me [the stores staff]

 

…. it does not mean this.  Possibly, this is just your interpretation of what you wish it should mean.

Everything is beginning to make sense now - you are posting from inside a mental hospital.

(I didn’t know Skylands sold files in cakes though. I’ll be honest that I’m kind of glad delivery to inmates is tricky…)

Secondly; why would i care if a load of individuals on an internet forum do not agree with me

  when everyone,  to a man disagrees with you,  most people tend to take the hint.

No, that is the law now.. Here is a quote from the act itself. By the way, this act is the basis that enables paypal to AUTOMATICALLY refund a buyer, [and take the money back off the seller] UNLESS, the seller has signed PROOF of delivery.. Not really fair to sellers, but that is the law now, for better or worse..

 

Anyway, the act..

Delivery of goods

 

(1)This section applies to any sales contract.

 

(2)Unless the trader and the consumer have agreed otherwise, the contract is to be treated as including a term that the trader must deliver the goods to the consumer.

 

(3)Unless there is an agreed time or period, the contract is to be treated as including a term that the trader must deliver the goods—

 

(a)without undue delay, and

 

(b)in any event, not more than 30 days after the day on which the contract is entered into.

 

(4)In this section—

 

(a)an “agreed” time or period means a time or period agreed by the trader and the consumer for delivery of the goods;

 

(b)if there is an obligation to deliver the goods at the time the contract is entered into, that time counts as the “agreed” time.

 

 

(5)Subsections (6) and (7) apply if the trader does not deliver the goods in accordance with subsection (3) or at the agreed time or within the agreed period.

 

(6)If the circumstances are that—

 

(a)the trader has refused to deliver the goods,

 

(b)delivery of the goods at the agreed time or within the agreed period is essential taking into account all the relevant circumstances at the time the contract was entered into, or

 

(c)the consumer told the trader before the contract was entered into that delivery in accordance with subsection (3), or at the agreed time or within the agreed period, was essential,

 

then the consumer may treat the contract as at an end.

And, THAT, is the law.. Great if you are a buyer, totally crap if you are a seller..

john..

Why are we paying NHS staff to take delivery of your personal items?

Not so sure a file would help.. A set of spikes would be the thing to have, but it might be a bit tricky getting them in. Patients can and do send off for stuff all the time, mainly off amazon for some reason, but all packages and parcels are opened by ward staff and the contents examined.. I am kind of glad about that too!
