Dealing with Andrew Elliot Ltd

[Benning Boy]

I just got off the phone with Robin Elliot of Andrew Elliot Ltd, weavers of tartan and tweeds etc. I called to pay for a length of the 1790 McDuff Orionson has had replicated. Robin was very pleasant to deal with and the payment process went smoothly. He is trusting enough that he actually put the tartan in the mail yesterday, with no guarantee on my part that he would ever get paid (of course I don't do business that way, and would probably be black balled here if I did) but the whole process has been a lot like doing things the old fashioned way, with nothing but a hand shake to seal the deal. Robin sent the tartan by regualar mail with delivery estimated to be five days. That's pretty fast. Coming by mail, rather than through UPS, I shouldn't have to pay any brokerage fees. Tartan sent through UPS incurs a stiff brokerage fee.
