Yeah I used Recorded Delivery and still nothing. I'll wait until Wednesday then I'll take it to the next step.

I'm not going to panic just yet, looking at the business address it wouldn't surprise me if its just one or maybe two people running the place. I say always give everyone a chance
 
Well neither myself or Jimmy have received anything!! Shocking company as I've had no replies to my emails or Facebook post! I'm gonna wait until next monday then I'll be doing a chargeback on my CC
 
Just been told mine will be despatched next Tuesday! Seems as if its on an order and supply basis rather than having any in stock.

Well I've found my first stumbling block for when it eventually arrives...... you have to format the USB stick and can only do it on a Windows PC...... I have a Mac!! :(

Do let us know how this works out. Im really interested to hear your thoughts. I think this is something I want to do as well.
 
Still nothing..... still no replies to emails (Jimmy is in the same boat as me)

I will be going ahead with a chargeback. If it was for a little bit more money I'd go and pay them a personal visit, but for the sake of £30 it's not worth it
