kobblers Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 harrumph!!!! i had a boot in yesterday where the stiletto heel was hanging off, the customer had taken it to another local repairer and been told it would cost 36 quid as they would have to literally strip the whole boot down to do it, which was an absolute pile of balls and in my opinion an excuse to relieve the customer of her money. we repaired the heel in the normal way for 8 quid! the customer thus went back down and remonstrated with the chap down there and he told her it wouldn't hold and would probably fall off, despite the fact she never showed him the repair if i could have got that in writing i would be suing!!! today, (yes, i was trading on a sunday) another customer brought a mackenzie boot in that she'd yesterday taken to the same repairer where she'd been told that as it was a moulded thru unit they couldn't replace just the heel area and it would cost her 47 quid for the work. again, they said if it was done any other way then the job wouldn't be done right either they truly don't have the ability there to repair properly or they're just out for ripping people off at that particular shop, regardless, if i find they've been slandering either myself or the other repairer in the market then i will be taking steps to have it stopped, even if it means sending a test customer in with a dictaphone. rick.

ironplanet uk900 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Danny I don't think you were "shot down". I think there was a bit of confusion as to the story, If I remember correctly Everybody's entitled to an opinion, yourself included Rick, I don't know why your chaffing, seems like they're playing into your hands You stilleto repair will do the talking. !!!!!!!!!

Auto Key Wizard Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 They've been shamed & the company did no need to be named Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Lets be honest here, they are the most successfull multi service centre in the uk. They have some dodgy staff and they will know that, but who wouldn't have a few dodgy staff with so many outlets. We don't need to pure scorn,, keep doing what your doing and don't worry about anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 i'm more than happy to take the work they let go folks but i'm not happy if they're slandering other repairers, including myself into the bargain just to try and justify themselves or their practices to the customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 You are getting into dangerous territory folks and going off topic. The Topic was about the doom and gloom predictions and the article in the Newspapers. Dont get carried away. Please discuss the topic by all means but be wary of using names or initials that have a link to a defamatory remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hugh's right here, off topic is easily done and everyone of us has done it at some stage, it ain't the end of the world as it can be rectified by the moderators. But naming individuals and companies so as to critisise,mock or pure scorn is not ecceptable:period. If anyone on this forum named my company in a derogatory way, I would sue.. And so would you. We wouldn't want it done to us, so don't do it to others. It causes tension and ill feeling, and that ain't what this forum is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
