Seems strange to me. I have ordered some 8-10 items over the last 2 years
from Gambit-SOFT. Only one has been broken. I then returned the bad disk
and received a new one without any problem.

If Gambit-SOFT states that they take the risk they will (or must in your case)
do so. But apart from their statement I'm a little bit curious about what
happens if every customer states that their shipment have never arrived
(don't get me wrong -  I'm _not_ saying that you do this!)? What does the
law say? Probably that the dealer takes the risk until the item have arrived!?

For your personal problem with Bert: I suppose that he will answer you
by e-mail and not in this forum.

Personally I think Gambit-SOFT is the greatest [Sorry Steven, I haven't
bought anything from ICD yet...]!
