I ordered a couple of items via the Halfrauds web site today. Went through all the procedure of checking where my local store was and up it came with a reference number and an assurance that my items would be ready for collection in an hour.
I'm not keen on going to Halfrauds at the best of times but at the weekends it is even worse, trying to thread your way through the hoards of wannabe boy racers to a place where you can keep an eye on the car in case they put their grubby mitts on it.
Must admit though it was amusing to hear how their blinged up roller skates would walk all over the S Type
In fact, one particularly learned kiddy came out with "stands to reason dunnit? my exhaust is bigger than both of those on that thing" He was partially correct, of course. His exhaust was so big, the only thing bigger was his ego and his gob
Anyway, I digress. I handed the assistant the printout with my reference number on it and she disappeared for 5 minutes, returning and stating that they had none of the items apparently set aside for me. I questioned this, reminding her of the online procedure where they confirm stock at the desired location.
She had the answer though:- "Oh they always say that. They never actually do a stock check. It's just a way of getting customers into the store in the hope they'll buy more than they intended."
I have applied to Halfrauds for compensation for my complete and utter waste of time, effort and fuel.
