Posting this under the Duckworths Parts thread, though this has absolutely nothing to do with the excellent services received by Dan and the parts department.

However it's an ideal platform to vent my anger.
Like everything nowadays, you buy something from a company and understanably you're automatically put on their list for mailshots, emails, texts etc.
Well on Saturday at 7.43am, yes I was still in bed [as it's the only day I have a longer lie in], I could hear a text notification from my phone in my office next door.
Thinking it may be urgent I got up to check .... and yes it was Duckworths inviting me to buy LR products for Christmas !!!
I DO NOT NEED THIS INFORMATION - ESPECIALLY AT 7.45AM ON A SATURDAY

The text advises though that you can text STOP to 8122 to stop future texts.
However I've just found out that even though my phone contract gives me free texts, this 8122 is a 'premium' text number and therefore I am charged accordingly.
Now it's only .083p, but still .... WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO STOP BEING HASSLED.

Again to reiterate, this has nothing to do with Dan's excellent service but this does distract form it.
I trust Dan will take this to the authorities concerned.

rant over  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I got this as well - early on Saturday morning, asking if I was interested in buying LR Bikes from Duckworths. Wasn't impressed with the timing, given that I had a heavy Friday night, so understand where you're coming from.

If you have an iPhone you can put it on to "do not disturb" manually or automaticly . Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Why would anybody want their phone left on whilst in bed - this fear of missing a call verges on paranoia  MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I set my phone to 'do not disturb' if a family member rings they will get through, anyone else can wait

Also with IPhone you can block any number you have had a call or text from.

Firstly, apologies for those that the texts disturbed.

If anyone wants their number removing from the database to avoid future text offers, please PM me with the following information.

What is a Premium Rate SMS
A premium rate SMS or PSMS is a message that is charged to the mobile user. There are strict regulations covering PSMS, including the advertising, subscriptions, legal wording and structure of the message. Premium SMS can only be sent to a user if a request was received by SMS to a shortcode from that user. PSMS is regulated by PhonePayPlus. For more information on PSMS please see their website: phonepayplus.org.uk.

I certainly never requested it.

I've bought from Dan and didn't get the offending text. I don't feel left out as I habitually make sure that I decline marketing texts and the passing on of my details for just about everything. As for the timing Samsungs version of jellybean or kitkat or whatever they're calling it today has a blocking mode as part of the OS.

If you change your mind BossBob, I still have it on my phone, happy to forward it to you.

My order was given over the phone and this never happens with Yeovil LR.

its really not a big issue, someone with prior dealing sent a text message, it takes less time to delete than to complain about it

i could understand if they was coming through, morning, noon and night each day  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Never suffered texts from Dan just excellent service.
The way I get around unwanted calls and texts is by using a second phone
(pay as you go with a couple of pounds on it )

Use it as a number for delivery of items. Databases etc ect soon as item delivered switch phone off
Plus as well spare phone for emergencies ..  Wales
