Jessops turning down a sale!
My brother has an old Centon PV27 tripod that's lasted since 1990 'ish sort of time, but recently the little removable plastic base for the camera has got a little perished and bits have cracked away so he went in to Jessops in Exeter (his local store) to see if he could get a replacement. The assistant was helpful and although the tripod is old and now discontinued he managed to find a replacement for sale for just 45p. Great, except that the replacement part was in their Portsmouth store. The sales assistant rang the Portsmouth store but was unable to get the part because apparently Jessops wont send individual items between their stores where the value is less than £5. My brother then offered to pay the £5 himself, there and then, to Jessops so they could transfer it but unbelievably Jessops still refused to sell him the part! They couldn't allow him to pay the costs of sending the part!
Sometimes I dispair.
