I am very sorry to hear of this incident but I have to speak as I find (found!). My Saltire tartan kilt came from The Scottish Store in Edinburgh and it was fine. The delivery schedule was spot on. At the same time, I ordered a fancy, decorative chain for my dress sporran which came, as expected, with the kilt. The quality is excellent.
By the way, your links to www.scottishstore.com are not working for me. The Scottish Store I am talking about is now to be found at www.scottishgroom.com although I do not remember that being the address I used previously!
Are we all talking of the same The Scottish Store?

the websites show them being the same physical store and contact info, although the sites are a little different.

Yeah, I would have been interested (well in the future though) in the Saltire 'tartan' kilt and won't be now.

Hi Andy, Ogenki des ka?
The Saltire Tartan kilt is certainly not exclusive to The Scottish Store - many Highland Outfitters retail it, but I believe it is tailored by only one kiltmaker/weaver! I went to The Scottish Store for it only because of their price which was considerably better than any other I had seen in my searches!

a lesson is also tae bae learnt by a' us Xmarkers...
the less expensive kilt is NO always the best way tae gae....
ai hae paid full price fur a' my tanks- an every yin has been a perfect experience....
ya shuid expect tae pay for things tae bae well made, on time, an guid customer service...
these things dae NO come free...

While I agree with you, perhaps for some folks the lesser price makes a full 'tank' fall into their price range, that must be a huge temptation.
I didn't really notice a big price difference because of it though but I did find my maker quite quickly.
