At least they didnt give you the run around and keep you waiting for calls/emails.
Or worse still, waiting for 3 months for the product.

Although not ideal for them turning work away, still good service.

Did they offer to refund your wasted phonecall too, they seem awesome!

might be they were being lazy. Ive heard of a lot of companys in the credit crunch turning down work that doesnt have a reasonable profit margin in it as theyd rather be lazy than work for little pay out.
