Horrible man, do not go!…read more This business's owner is extremely rude and fails to deliver. I ordered a watch strap (as he did not have the right size in) and it only arrived 10 days after I placed the order, when he said it would take a couple of days. More importantly, this man is very impolite and refuses to acknowledge his wrongdoing, let alone apologise and compensate me. He did not follow up on an item which should have arrived within 2-3 days (this is not a fault of the post but of his relatinoship with the manufacturer sending it out), and he did not even call me out of courtesy to let me know of the delay, NOR when the watch finally arrived even though he had promised he would call. When I called to complain he refused to acknowlegde his wrongdoing and conciliate. This is very unfortunate as I have pre-paid but otherwise I certainly will not, ever, be going back. He was also closed on Saturday when he claims he is "normally" open and replied, rudely, to me "well I have a life outside of this business so keep your nose out" when I asked politely why he claims he is open when he is not on Saturdays. I really would advise you NOT to give this man a penny.
