It wouldn't matter so much but it seems to be the best out there at the mo.

Have you confronted them about the increase? Seems unfair that you have to pass their extra cost onto your customers.

Hi Guys,

That does all sound rather strange...

We were told one thing and it does not seem to be the case. I will try and chase them up on Monday, to see what's going on.

Who did you contact (ie. what number) so that i can go and ask them to give me the correct information.
