Hi Eivind
I knew "Sunbeam Supreme" played you this dirty trick even before you
mentioned it in your second mail. Unfortunately, they are quite used to that
sort of thing : few guys there have also been fooled and reason why I
haven't is just because they warned me meaning it's really worth spreading
that sort of news throughout Sunbeam community !!
Only solutions they found to solve the problem have been either to take
advantage of a trip in UK (very convenient indeed !) to meet the guy and get
the missing stuff or to claim Visa and go for sort of prosecution. You
should manage getting your money back using this second method since - in
case of dispute - Visa payment is only considered as valid if you signed or
entered your PIN which is never the case in a computerized transaction: at
least, this is the way it works in France. But don't give up, you would do
nothing but tell them they are right proceeding that way !
Get your parts from Rick Mc Leod at Sunbeam Specialties (www.rootes.com) in
USA or Sunbeam Spares Company (www.thesunbeamsparescompany.co.uk) in UK Both
of them always provided me very good service and advices.
Hope this helps

Objet : UK parts suppliers
Hi
Sorry to bother all of you with this but I'm desperate for some advice.
About 10 months ago I ordered some parts from a supplier in the UK. (they
list a watts linkage on their web site by the way )
3 months later some of the parts arrived, but they still owe me #120 worth
which I haven't seen.
Faxes and e-mails are totally ignored, and when I call them, I'm just the
annoying foreign bloke with the funny accent.
Any ideas on what to do next?
I've considered letting them "win" and forget all about it, but that would
be total defeat wouldn't it.
