Quick update. after today's game was called off I decided to go down to fordhams and sort this out, I think they thought I would let it go after the few calls I made.
I went there prepared to swap for something comparable and they literally had nothing, I was offered ambi pads and questioned as to why they weren't suitable. After about and hour and half of attitude and muttering under the managers breath she finally gave me a full refund (through gritted teeth) this was presented by having my credit card and refund receipt thrown back at me and with a grunt.
I must stress I was not rude at any stage and was perfectly reasonable when offered alternatives, I refused a credit note as it was no use to me considering they had no stock of anything suitable. I understand that they did not have to refund me but having agreed to it and considering how much I have spent there over the past few years I would expect a degree of manners.
Anyway, sorted now as went straight down the road to romida and got a pair of impulse 950. In complete contradiction they could not have been friendlier and were full of advice as to which models were available dispute the shop being rammed when I got there. I know I was spending money rather than asking for some back but I have found the service good when returning faulty kit bought from them as we'll.
Rant over, dealt with now and never using fordham again
