Excuse me? Apart from the board rules not allowing vendors to try and damage eachother, it is against Japanese fair trading law to try and damage a rival Derek. I am assuming you are a trader, but I don't see your company number nor used goods trading license number displayed on your website - you should update that asap as it is illegal not to display them if you have them.
I think you hit the nail on the head though saying it sounds strange to just not send the BL - it sounds strange because we actually did send the BL at the first opportunity. No reason for us not to. And having read what happened and now having some knowledge of the details that you previously professed to not knowing, maybe you have a different view regarding us paying for the storage now?
