Axminster vouchers

[Rob_H]

I've been given a few Axminster vouchers for my birthday, and I rang up to place and order thinking I could give the voucher number and order - because I have all of the details who purchased each one and the unique serial number of each voucher, but they won't redeem them over the phone. I was told to post them in and even if they are recorded delivery, if they are lost they wouldn't accept the copies and proof of posting. I have had a couple of recorded delivery items go missing lately so I don't trust Royal Mail. Surely Axminster can tell if the voucher number has been used to avoid fraud and cancel the number as used when I give it over the phone. It seems a very archaic system. Be warned if asking for Axminster vouchers fro christmas.

Thanks for the advice. Sorry to hear about your troubles though, and hope you get it sorted out and buy some gadgets! :roll:

Just to echo robs point on recorded deliveries, i recently went to pick up a parcel from the despatch office as i`d missed the original delivery.
When i got there the parcel had quite obviously been open, i questioned this, as i was not best pleased, i was told quite bluntly, " what ever was in the package obviously wasn`t worth much as if it had been, whoever had opened it would have pinched it".
If the staff know it`s going on surely it`s about time Royal mail did something about it, i for one try now to avoid using Royal mail if at all possible.

Dragon Saws Ltd send there bandsaw blades by normal royal mail delivery. However, the blades are in a carboard box doubled up at least twice, and then they are brown taped up over and over again, you struggle to get into them. Now I think this is because of the nature of the product, but certainly makes it hard for anybody who wants to steal a bandsaw blade! IF they did steal my bandsaw blade, good luck to them finding a bandsaw to fit it! Custom made baldes! HaHa! :lol:
