Of all the stupid trusting people........

I am talking about myself here, by the way.

I have a load of orders for cheap and simple cz and silver earrings. I was running out of the butterfly claw fittings I use, so last Thursday as I was in Birmingham, I called into Cooksons and bought them, along with a load of other stuff and the scroll backs.

I was called back to the counter and told the order was ready, and as it was already bagged, I didn't check it.

Silly mistake.

I got half way home and stopped for a break. While I was stopped, I opened the bag to inspect my goodies. There were 2 items missing, my saw blades and *groans* the scroll backs for the earrings.

I rang them straight away, and was told they would send them out by post. Nearly a week now and the missing items have not arrived.

I now have to start letting people down.

I made 2 mistakes. one, I should have insisted on checking the order and two, never take orders if you do not physically have the stock in your mucky little mitt.

Now I pay the price. Just hope the replacements arrive soon.
