    Spindrifter

    Bit of a strange question here but is Spindrifter a brand in it's own right or a brand supplied by a specific company?

    The reason I wanted to know was I ordered a Spindrifter air diffuser from one company and when it turned up it was branded Spindrifter but with another company's branding and name on the box

    Annoyingly when I checked the other company's website they were a few quid cheaper than where I brought it from!!!

    If it was a new delivery try sending it back as a mis order or mistake. Then reorder from the cheaper company/maker, If its a large amount or if only a couple of quid i would chalk it up to experience.
    When I’m dead I hope my Mrs doesn’t sell my fishing gear for what I told her they cost!

    Only a few quid I think so as you say not worth sending it back now.

    The price difference wasn't the issue it was the question about the brand Spindrifter that I was more interested in.

    I paid P&P on mine so you got your 2 cheaper than buying 2 from the other place that were slightly cheaper as they charge P&P on everything.

    That's what was branded on the box and Alternative Aquatics are a supplier like Coastal Koi

    https://www.altaquatics.co.uk/index.html

    £67 + P&P which I think is £5.95? so more expensive than what you paid Sim for each of your ones

    They should say when you order exactly what the cost will be.
    I didn't see anything about postal cost when ordering mine, even though they didn't charge.

    I know they should but they don't which I think is wrong as all they do is charge your credit card for the goods plus the P&P once they have worked it out but you don't get to see the P&P costs until you get your credit card statement and even then you have to work it out.
