If they charge what they said they were going to charge for postage and sent
what one ordered then there can be little complaint. When they don't send
what was ordered (assuming one checked first that it was in stock) then
complaint about the cost is entirely justified - always IMHO of course.

Bent pins are inexcusable and suggest a general lack of concern which could
suggest other bad practice such as lack of proper antistatic handling. Maybe
they are trying to discourage his future business :-)
