I've never had to wait more that 3 days for a delivery from them to here in Central France.

We visited your neck of the woods early last summer. Oradour-sur-Glane. What an incredible and moving place! You are about 6 hours north of us..

I have always had good service from Axy and been a customer for nearly 20 years now! When I started buying from them they had just the shop in the middle of Axminster and it was a true Aladins Cave!

Bought a belt sander from them the other day. Most French suppliers of the same item were around the same price, but wanting anything up to 25€ for delivery. Chez Axy, international shipping was free and surprised me by being delivered just 2 days later.

Be careful of delivery notifications purporting to come from 'axminster.co.uk'. I got one the other day - it looked legit, and was sent to a real email address I use regularly. The giveaways were a) that I don't have any outstanding orders atm, b) that it was sent to an email alias I use only for my virtual world activities and c) it had a '.docm'. attachment, and the only attachments I've received from Axminster in the past were '.pdf'. Further checking of the message headers showed that it came from some anonymous address on a Japanese ISP network. I assume the attachment was either a key-logger or a ransom trojan, but I didn't open it to find out...

Now, if you had opened it you could have told us exactly what it was WM :roll: :roll: It may well have been a new Axminster shop in Tokyo ?? :?

I always hover the cursor over any clickables like that to see where they would send me. We are using Macs but we are still super careful when it comes to opening things.

OS is irrelevant with phishing scams.

In my case it wasn't phishing, it was an attempt to get me to open a trojan payload of some kind. In that case the OS is relevant, as something that can infect Windows can't necessarily infect Mac or Mint (and vice-versa).
