I have just received through the post, a pack of Silkies tights and an invoice for £11.58 to be paid by 15th November to protect my credit status....unrequested/unordered/unwanted.
Being male with no stocking fettish that I'm aware of, I do take exception to this tactic of depriving people of hard earned cash.
There is no phone number anywhere in the documentation to get the stuff returned, but a web search on (sic...!) gives the organisation as Hosery Corporation International with a base in Liverpool, again with no phone number. I haven't searched elsewhere for a phone number yet.
Should I will keep the products safe until I am given a return label from the company, to return the unwanted goods?
Has anyone else received unwanted goods like these?
