the delivery co actually refunded me £2.62 more than I asked for
then I noticed that the paypal fees were £2.62, so that explained that
then paypal refunded the £2.62 as well - so yay, £2.62 up :)
he says he isn't well and just asked the guy to 'shove it in the garage', didn't get round to looking at it for a couple of days
tbh, I don't care if he did get a lathe and a refund, I don't think he was on the fiddle, but it didn't cost me anything in the end so I couldn't care less.
Glad it worked out for you! Makes sense the delivery company would waive their industry-standard-since-forever policy on compassionate grounds (and don't need publicity about smashing and pilfering).

I broke a pair of sunglasses on the weekend, so I'm selling the lenses (linky in case anyone's interested - Oakley half jacket lens kit). I've decided to stick them on ebay for no other reason than I want to get rid of them and it's convenient. Anywho, they've changed the selling procedure since I last used it, and found this suggestion thingy.
The lenses are going for the £20 to £30 mark new, so why it thinks a second hand set would be ripe for the picking at £37.85 is a tad confusing.
