Ditched Helicopter Award - Toilet Seats!

We re-modelled our bathrooms and WCs at home last year - at great expense- and used Ripples in Oxford to do the job. They were excellent no real complaints and we were very happy with the result but then we come to toilet seats!

On their recommendation we had "soft closer" hinges for the toilet seats - all very nice - but then after a very short time they gave up soft closing, firstly on one toilet and then the second.

We have now waited over six months for replacement hinges - which, apparently, need to come from Keramag in Germany. I have constantly chased Ripples who, of course, blame Keramag and I have been in contact with Keramag who pretend to be helpful but insist I go through Ripples......

When will companies learn that it's the small things that people remember where and lack of service is involved?

So a DITCHED HELICOPTER AWARD goes to RIPPLES BATHROOMS and to KERAMAG
