I have just checked my bank account - you appear to have charged me twice for my last purchase. I would be pleased if you could check your account to see if it's my bank at fault

Although it took a while to come, which may have been beyond your control the Turrel dear hair was superb. It was very well dyed, long and straight, perfect for detached bodies.
