Fireplace installation

Only complaint, start date delayed twice.
Customer in Camberley, 8 May 2013  
Response from Fireplaces Direct:
One of our limestone suppliers had a problem with their Italian machinery and it took two attempts to repair. Hence the delays. The customer was very understanding and we felt it appropriate to compensate her for her inconvenience with which she was happy.
