As my daughter has just achieved the age right for credit card, I presented her the additional one.

Their business is based on hand-crafted quality. Their "about us" page closes... "If quality matters, sticky has no substitute." If that's truly their philosophy, I'm betting this will all be okay in the end. This has nothing to do with globalization or not buying US or the Aussies. This could just as well have happened with a local vendor. My guess is that Sticky is filled more with skilled candy artists than business owners... This is part of Sticky's growing pain. Hopefully Sticky is learning a lesson too on how to package properly. If Sticky wants to stay in business, they’ll do the right thing and re-do the order for you - free of any additional charge.

You are nice to offer to help -- if they don't respond to my letter, I might well take you up on it. These people seemed nice enough up front that I can't help but think there may still be a reasonable explanation for the inaction -- i.e., the wrong person left in the middle of the communications and dropped the ball. We'll see. I sent out a more formal-ish letter to them, so we’ll see if anything happens. You are nice to offer to help — if they don’t respond to my letter, I might well take you up on it.

Me being in Sydney, my workplace is only a suburb away from Sticky's head office and I'd hate to see Aussie business in general get a bad rap. Send me more details of your transaction and I'll have a chat with them ... Regards, Andrew Dan,
