Cricket, Rugby and Hockey. Three sports that were compulsory at school and therefore three sports I want nothing more to do with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 No doubt. I'm just pointing out that there were plenty of other options. Quite useful if a UK stockist doesn't have stock or carry a particular line. And the last 3 things I bought from Bestbassgear sailed through without getting pinged.

paul_c2 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Pragmatically, if you order something online from USA (or anywhere outside of EU) and you don't like it, or it has a fault, and you send it back..........you're never getting that import duty back are you? I am not even sure if the Distance Selling Regulations thing (the one which means if you order online and change your mind in I think 7 days, you can just send it back for a refund minus postage costs) applies. Obviously if its faulty or not as described etc then you would have more legal rights but do they match the typical service level you might expect from a UK retailer? And I bet there's a massive amount of hassle if it has a rosewood neck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like watching paint dry. Sorry Dave Cricket was intentionally designed to be overly long and intricate and difficult for outsiders to understand, in order to deter the rest of world from wanting to beat us at it. That plan didn't quite work out. Edited February 17, 2018 by Cato 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
