We get what we deserve!
mss, re read what you posted and then consider how what you have posted reflects on said company.
You seem to be inferring that because said company received a negative comment or information from their web site was used to source parts elsewhere for less, they have removed useful information from their web site. Have you evidence to support that?

I view your post as negative about the said company, in fact I consider it more negative then a negative post about P&P, lol

I'll also add that many companies web sites are checked for price and perhaps a customer may go else where because its cheaper.

we go off topic so I will post not more on this path

This will be my last post on the topic also.

Businesses have to balance costs and revenues in order to survive. This means managing costs.

When people draw on a business' services without any intention of contributing to their revenue, the business will ultimately have to reduce its cost base.

The only people on whom it reflects badly are those who keep drawing benefits without contributing to the revenues. Worse still, those who then complain about the reduced levels of free service.

Personally, I would really like some company to offer for my Vauxhalls, the sort of information service that Rimmers provide for our cars. Such a business would get my every order for Vauxhall parts.
