Does this sound right?

I am aware that Giveaway are going through some tough times at the moment but I received this strange reply to my request for a bank transfer of 20 refs on their HDTV site;

We only allow custome order requests for 4 refs or less.

Does that sound right to everyone as I am sure others have had bank transfers and custom orders from Giveaway for more than 4 refs?

I have never used GA, but that sounds wrong!

I'm sure in the past plenty of people have had a custom order with more than 4 refs.
Maybe they've lowered it because of the problems they've been having at the minute.

not sure if this will help with an answer...

Still waiting?

Thanks for that Arctic

Surely though, if that is a recent change to their terms, then it must have happened after I had 4 refs so I had no chance of complying with it

Do you think they will show any leniency on that point?

I remember another exceem user having the same issue just after the new T&C's appeared, and I don't remember there being any good news for you I am afraid but I can't find which thread it was in.

Giveaway would not allow me to change my obsolete LCD customer order to the new model which was a few more greens, they seem inflexible around custom orders now. I think your only option might be to pick the nearest standard item on the site and requesting a Bank Transfer for 90% of its value.
