The worst one I had from here was red alert and the add on disk.
Ordered, waited my 21 days and..... only got the add on disk. Rang them up and SR were out of stock. 3 weeks later it arrived.
It's so much better now.
Plus play aren't that bad. there returns policy is (only send DVD's by recorded mail)
1. Recorded Mail doesn't exist anymore according to my local post office and 2. The box set i had was worth over £60. I'm not sending that back uninsured!

I ordered Lemmings and Oh no More Lemmings from Special Reserve for the Atari ST back in the days before intranet. It took 21 days to get here and they somehow managed to send me 2 copies.

Mail order r0><0r...ed
It was so exciting, but so very crap at the same time.
How could it possibly take 28 days to put something in the post?

Ah, the phone calls to software sellers like SR. I remember it well...
