Default quick rant about uk businesses!

i am looking to buy some different suspension for my m3 track car-coilovers.kw ones to be exact.

i found somewhere local that is a main supplier apparently on the net last night with a form to ask questions about parts etc-so i ask the question about wether its in stock or how quick it could be sourced with an email address and my contact number.at 3 pm today i decided to speak to them on the phone-the guy took my details and said he would ring me straight back.

im still waiting.........................................

the kit is over £1000-do they not want my money?

maybe rainbird,martin or jc could do better for me.........i have a track day on tuesday so it would be ideal to have it before then.

Take your business to someone that will RESPECT you.........

I have my own Plumbing business and the one thing that i said i would do from day 1 was be respectful....

If i tell someone that i will be there at 2pm........i will be there.

OR

If something hapens that prevents me from getting there i will ALWAYS ring the client and let them know AS SOON as i know.

The amount of people i have done work for and they have said to me....."We had another Plumber come round and give us a price. We said yes and he said he would be back on monday.......he never turned up"....

I dont know WHY people are like it in this country.....do they not want the business!!!!!
