    Angry Don't patronize the kilt store!!

    I bought an Argyll jacket and waistcoat from them. They held up sending out the order waiting for the waistcoat to be delivered. Well, three weeks later they sent them but a waistcoat that was 8 sizes too small! Someone took a size 44 and wrote size 52 on the other side of the size tag. I sent them pictures of this. Months have gone by, and I was promised but no one has contacted me from their "management" about sending me out another vest. No savings through X-Marks, as I have to find another vest somewhere else, and had to pay duties on the abomination to boot. Absolutely disgusting...

    That's horrible! I hope that doesn't happen to me since I'm waiting for an order from them which includes a coat and vest!

    Have you tried calling them directly? I know that they have an 800 number for North American customers.

    Part of the problem may be...a UK size 44 is a Euro size 52.

    Still not good (to say the least...) they didn't solve it properly

    I am absolutely amazed to read this, Binx. I've had several dealings with KiltStore, both before and since their connection with X Marks, and have had nothing but exemplary service from them. You should definitely use the toll-free number and call them - but don't forget the time difference!

    Speaking of time difference,

    Do you ever sleep Hamish?

    It's almost 10 PM (East Coast USA). I believe that is, what, 3 AM There?

    Anyone else have discount issues with this vendor?
    (I haven't tried)

    My experience too - excellent customer service.

    Nope, cause the jacket fit fine.

    Got a replacement in the right size!

    Don't know if someone here talked to them, but awhile after this thread started I got a message, then a call from Stewart, telling me that he's going to set it right. Got the waistcoat, tag printed as the correct size, and it fits. Thanks to all.
