252 forum posts 68 photos	Right, now I’m getting aggravated Three weeks back I spend £55 on a TR10x2 lead screw, and TR10x2 tap. It turns out the company I ordered them from are scammers. They have an internet yesterday going back maybe a decade of unhappy people never receiving their goods. It was my own stupid fault for paying someone who was bank transfer only. You live and learn. Luckily, I also ordered a Tr10X2 tap from an ebay Chinese retailer. Much to my amazement it only took three weeks to get here. Sadly I was out, the post office left a calling card, and now the post office have lost the parcel. After the failure of my first lead screw purchase I ordered one from someone else. It arrived today – bent like a banana! Do you ever get the feeling fate is telling you not to do something ? Grrrrrrrr
