Most of the people involved in the swing, rockabilly &
rock 'n' roll dance scenes are absolutely fabulous

We're very delighted to say that the majority of people are
fantastic to deal with & are completely trustworthy

Unfortunately, there's also a very small proportion
who do not deserve your trust or ours

As many of our visitors are aware, we include numerous
testimonials on our site, & quite a number of them are
from people thanking us for sending their shoes &
clothes without any "up front" payment

It's just a shame that a very small number of people have
"abused" our trust & have reneged on paying
for items sent to them in good faith

We believe that we have an obligation to warn you about
these people, so we strongly suggest that you treat the
following people with EXTREME CAUTION should
you ever consider doing business with them

gorgeous have been in business for over 6 years
now, so we guess that we're fortunate to have
such a small number of "dud" customers

By the way & on a much brighter note - if you'd like to
read some of the testimonials we've mentioned above,
 then follow the various links from our page at:
gorgeous  customers

Here's a quite typical example - most of our gorgeous
customers return "trust" with "trust"
"I would like to thank you both so very much for everything you have done in providing the shoes for both Ashleigh & myself.    Not only did you not know us, but in sending them up to us with the trust in us that you did.    I cannot thank you enough for this.    The look on Ashleigh's face when she realized what they were was just sheer pleasure, knowing how much she wanted them.    I have no hesitation in recommending both yourself & product to anyone who has asked where I got them from as has been the case so far, so I hope they get in contact with you.    Once again many thanks for everything you have done.    I hope you have a Merry Christmas & New Year, and maybe I will see you at Wintersun in June."

We've been experiencing quite a few email
problems lately - both sending & receiving...

FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
It's available to download at:  www.skype.com
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
  US 62 cents
New Zealand:
  NZ 98 cents
Canada:  
  CA 72 cents
South Africa:
  Rand 3.8
United Kingdom:
  UK 35 pence
Japan:  
  Yen 73
Europe:  
  Euro 51 cents
Singapore:  
  SG 98 cents
Switzerland:  
  Franc 0.80
China:  
  Yuan 5


Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling  - & this is also completely FREE

"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"

“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over.    The world will change now inevitably.”
