Do nothing for a repair call them and tell them to pick it up and you want your money back. Tis the law ask @HMH he is a pro on this subject

And @Thor1950 try and get the hang of this @ business

Don't put a space after the @ and type the member name. Wait for a pop up box to appear with name choices and click the one you want.

Abbreviations won't work
