The supplier review board is for members to tell others of the service that they have received from a retailer. You need 50 posts in other sections to be able to post a supplier review. To protect SGL from legal action a supplier review MUST be factual about what happened. Please do not tell us how you felt, why you think that a supplier did what they did or make any comment on the ethics/morals of the retailer. I.e. Keep to the facts only! We reserve the right to reject a post or remove a post after approving it.
