I ordered (and paid for) two General Navigation papers from shortfinals.co.uk over a week ago.

The papers have not been sent by either email or snail mail and emails to the support address have gone unanswered.

Has anyone else had similar experiences ? There is no, 'contact us' section on the site and no other way of contacting them.

Has INS/IRS drift and incorrect wind velocity calculations sent them completely off course or am I being impatient ?

Regards..............TJ

I too am waiting for my info from shortfinals.

I've sent them numerous emails asking for hard copies to be sent and have not had a reply yet.

My initial order was on 10/04/03 - so I dont think I'm been picky! Strange as I'd read good things about them.

Is there anyone out there? Even a PM to the previous poster has gone unanswered.

Got some papers from short finals a few months back, they were e-mailed within 24 hrs, didn't notice any incorrect answers. Passed all the exams.

I'm sure its just a glitch.

(PS Shortfinals.com have nothing to do with me whatsoever, just posting as I found).

Agree with Spurs007, I found a lot of errors in the ones I got. I did demand my money back, and got it. My advise 'Stick with the schools'
