This is turning into quite a saga. Having contacted Stiga about the blade falling apart they told me to go back to Dandoy where I'd bought it from. I replied saying I wasn't very confident in Dandoy as I'd had a lot of issues after they supplying the wrong rubbers with the blade originally and they had just ignored all my emails and I'd had to get paypal involved. The marketing guy at Stiga simply forwarded my email to Romain Dandoy the MD and told him to sort it out. I did get an email from him asking for photographic evidence which I supplied but then I heard absolutely nothing. More than a week went by without a word so on Monday I emailed Dandoy and the Stiga marketing guy and copied Mats Bandstigen the Stiga CEO in. I just asked would someone please respond to me. Within a few minutes the Stiga CEO replied apologising for the issues and instructing the other two to get it sorted. That was on Monday. By lucnhtime today I had still heard nothing from anybody else (I'd tagged the emails so I knew they'd been read) so I sent an email back to Mats B copying the other two in. Almost instantly I get an email from Romain Dandoy saying he had emailed me this morning. I replied to say I hadn't received it and please would he send it again but once again he's vanished and I've heard no more. Mats B the Stiga CEO did send another very pleasant email saying that now Romain has got back in contact he hoped my issue would be quickly resolved. It's turning into a bit of a farce. I had read reviews before I ordered from Dandoy that said their prices were good but the customer service was awful. I wish I'd listened! Hopefully though Dandoy will pull their finger out and sort it soon. My son has the national schhols tournament coming up in just over a week and he could really do with an intact bat to use there.
