To be fair to both retailers in the OP, it sounds like the main comparison here is DPD delivery time, which is out of the retailers hands assuming they handed goods over to the courier on time (which they clearly did).
I even thought they might turn up in the same DPD van, but I guess they started in different places so the routes were completely different.
He runs the business in what I assume is a lawful and correct manner and makes money. What a deviant, lock him up.
I just thought the moral compass comment was in bad taste. That was before you demonstrated to me what bad taste really is by using that, patently utterly ridiculous, comparison.
I had to do a return with GAK and they were great.
I've not ordered from GAK yet, but I've got my eye on a guitar there, so maybe I will soon.
Most of the staff are great, friendly, helpful. There have been a couple of abrasives over the 2 decades I've been going there but they've moved on pretty quickly. And on the occasions when I haven't been able to go there, their shipping service has been exemplary.

I was trying to convey that generous acts for charity aren't always made by good men. History is literally littered with 100s if not 1000s of cases of these actions. You can even look at the people that operate within these charities and see how good their moral compasses are (say hello Oxfam).
You made a point that my opinion was harsh because Lee has raised money for a charity. Hence my follow up with Jimmy Saville. I wasn't implying he was as bad as Jimmy, just giving you an example that charity work/money does not vindicate shitty behaviour. Me, or google can provide you with lots more examples of people with bad morals giving money/performing charitable acts for charity.
When you look into his fundraising, he is getting common folk to pledge money to a just giving page or via a raffle. The money is not from his own pocket.
Yes kudos for him for using his public profile for increasing awareness that is a good deed.
However did you know that charitable donations are tax deductible for a limited company? Realistically the action is of no cost to the business but it does generate more PR (quite arguably a good incentive right?). Hence my second comment
Not sure what relevance to his tax payments are to the conversation or your retort about locking him up. These are completely irrelevant to my response. You have made an assumption or taken something out of context.
Happy to pick it up on PM if you feel the need to go back and fourth any more and save this thread from going off on a bigger tangent.
