Still waiting for one from Dick (stupendously expensive German
toolshop) in September 2009 8-(

Probably my last order with them. Fantastic catalogue and range, but
poor order processing and utterly inept at sorting out any problems
afterwards.

Are they the supplier of King Dick spanners?

Can't tell if you're joking, but no. King Dick was a British brand.

Nope. http://dick.biz

In German it means "fat", which is a pretty odd name for a business
anyway.

My record is one year, two months and four days. The supplier was
Philips' service organisation.

This was a long time ago, in the era of dual-standard TV sets, and the
item was a slow motion drive for a UHF tuner. The original had snapped
off after some domestic accident - we never found out what - so we fix-
tuned the set to BBC2 as a temporary measure, blanked off the exit hole
for safety, and left the tuning knob inside the cabinet so that it
didn't get lost.

When the original order was received, that item was marked out of stock.

When I 'phoned to query it, some time later, I was told that it didn't
exist "because that set wasn't designed for 625 lines!"

The customer stopped pestering us and we just forgot about it.

Imagine my surprise when an unexpected little package turned up a year
later and I opened it ...

.... and then, when we attempted to contact the customer, we found that
he had moved ...

My record is a Eurocode 1 book from Thomas Telford which was ordered
and paid for around 2003 and turned up earlier this year!
