: saruman May 19, 2004, 04:41:56 AM
hi everyone

i have a chocolate frog prop card to trade as i got it yesterday and would prefer a daily phrophet one and maybe something as there are only 86 frogs and 200 daily phrophets

thanks
Saruman

Yes, I am one of the ones still waiting for the chocolate frog card, its been 17 days now.  I am starting to lose hope.  I have received other cards from both Ireland and the UK since that card was shipped.

: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: samwise16 June 15, 2004, 11:56:58 PM
thats great  :)


: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: saruman June 16, 2004, 12:08:28 AM
ya thankfully its kinda sorted but i did loose one frog which is annoying and they actually offered me a boox of stams as an opologie  >:( that is not good enough in my opinion .


: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: Roz June 16, 2004, 12:56:13 AM
This is weird that Ben and you have been offered stamps as compensation - I have never had stamps - always cheques when things go missing  ???


: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: samwise16 June 16, 2004, 01:04:36 AM
i got £36 in cash when they lost money in post and when gimli was damaged i wanted compo but they sent me a leter confirming its delivery, stupid git faces i already know its delivered because it is damaged. i left that one there and when the messed up ou re-direction they gave me stamps  :o  :-\


: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: saruman June 16, 2004, 03:51:48 AM
ya the stamps were as an apologie and i have put in a clam for the full amount it was insured to €500 but i will be lucky to get €200 as they didn't seem to get what a trding card was and kinda scoffed when i tryed to discribe it. which annoyed me no end


: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: ztaylork July 11, 2004, 02:18:37 AM
Just wanted to make sure that everyone here knew that I did recieve my original cards back from Saruman this past week.  So hats off to Saruman for fighting the apperently terrible post system in Ireland to get my cards back.  Thanks

ztaylork


: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: samwise16 July 11, 2004, 07:07:02 AM

: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: soccerfanatic July 11, 2004, 06:32:16 PM

: Re:chocolate frog for trade
: Roz July 12, 2004, 01:36:50 AM
