Stuart, 1. I went to your website and got excited when I found SB2 wired listed. I clicked on it and got "NO LONGER AVAILABLE - NOW REPLACED BY NEW SQUEEZEBOX". If its no longer available why bloody list it??? Not a good start. 2. How on earth can you charge £35 to send it less than 150 miles south of the Northern Ireland UK Border? 3. I would prefer to deal with the "faceless Amazon" as you put it because I can go to their website, order it, have it turn up within 48 hours without any fuss. I mean, I've been looking to buy (Credit card waiting) for the best part of a month now. How bloody difficult should it be to buy the product? I'm not having a personal dig at you Stu and forgive me if my tone comes across that way. I am just very VERY frustrated. -- Orb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18469 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
