The website is http://www.cashmerecompany.com/default.asp

Having searched this forum, I found DaveM mentions geographical numbers in this thread.

Orders: 01525 383808; Customer service: 01525 853399; Fax: 01252 391494

Let us know how you get on with these numbers and I'll add them to the database (they're not currently listed)!

I think you will find that DaveM's post is 18 months old and it isn't up to date.

A search on the Royal Mail website reveals that the company at P O Box 9340, Dunoon PA23 8WQ is in fact DDL Mail Order Services.

The Cashmere Company website gives the following contact details apart from the 0870 phone number:

Fax: 0136 970 1187
customerservices@cashmerecompany.com

Good luck and let us know how you get on.   :)

Thanks I have tried 01369 706789, this got me to the building reception/switchboard for DDL. Who when asked point blank refused to transfer me to The Cashmere Co who they said were on the second floor of the building, instead they gave me the 0870 number. Aparently this is the only number to get to them, any further help would be most welcome.

They have a geographical fax number of 0136 970 1187 according to their website so you could try some nearby numbers like 0136 970 1180 or in a similar format (0136 970 1xxx).

At the risk of asking a very foolish question: have you asked them for a non-revenue sharing number? After all they presumably want to sell cashmere to you.
Their reply may :-? be illuminating and may offer ammunition to training them not to abuse their customers.

A Google of the fax number brings up one hit on Genuis 2000 which also gives a phone number 01369 708029.

As for trying other 01369 701xxx numbers, I'm not so sure. It doesn't look like there will be a block of numbers as Google reveals:

• 01369 701000 is the local office of the Scottish Tourist Board
  
• 01369 701100 is Scottish Foods and Hampers
  
• 01369 701170 is Riverside Leisure Centre
  
• 01369 701180 is a group of financial advisors
  
• 01369 701190 is Klothing Closet

Other than these details, there appears to be no contact number for Milton Keynes.

This page says that Database Direct is one of Dunoon's largest employers. 192.com says that the company employed 100 people in February. DD's own website says that the call centre is based in Dunoon. So it must have some 01369 numbers for each 08xx number for every company it provides services for.

The Genius 200 number 01369 708029 now answers with a recording (not an automatic network announcement) saying that the number is no longer in service. I thought perhaps they have similar numbers 01369 708xxx.

I've found that 01369 708010 is the Ticket line for Wembley Exhibition Centre. Obviously Wembley is no where near Scotland, so I can only assume that it the ticket bookings is (or were at some time) contracted out to Database Direct. Another ticket line is on 01369 708007, see here.

01369 708200 belongs to TSC, so Database Direct numbers may go up to 01369 708199.

It was just a thought.  Obviously the bigger companies use an existing number for any fax machines they have. However, the smaller ones, which may never have had a fax to start with obviously could have got another number for the fax.  This number may not have been in their bulk of numbers they got for their call centre.

Thanks for all the advice and help so far, for some reason the company are very very insistent on using 0870 numbers. So much so that reception on regular number refused to forward my call to the approprate section, or could not (find that hard to understand). Have sent several emails with very poor response, so the earlier comment on customer focus was interesting, as I think that is seriously lacking not at all like the approach normally demonstrated by American companies unfortunately.

I'm looking for a geographical number for the Cashmere Company. instead of 0870 606 1012.  They are a distance-sales ladies and gents woolen clothing company based at P0 Box 9, in Dunoon, Argyll, Scotland PA23 8QQ.  Fax 01369 701187 and website www.cashmerecompany.com.

Drawn a blank everywhere else so far.  Grateful for any info - Peter Ward

I've joined your post onto the existing thread for The Cashmere Company. Have a read of the above and see if anything works/doesn't work and post feedback.

Dave, thanks for moving my post.  As you see I'm a newbie at this - I should obviously have searched this site more thoroughly for the Cashmere Company and will do so in future - apologies!http://www.saynoto0870.com/forum/Templates/Forum/default/embarassed.gif

Read the thread with interest.  Will persevere and report back if any success.
