Pick guards

Has anyone ever bought a pick guard from buzzards bass guitars? They have a wide range of guards, but I bought one recently and it doesn't fit. I'm an international buyer and they don't like returns. Has anyone else had the same problem?
 
I sent a P Special pickguard to Terrapin (I'm sure other companies do this as well) and they used that to make a template. I then had 2 guards made, one an actual copy of the original (which had been painted black) in single ply white, and a second with a traditional P layout in white pearloid. They sent me the old guard back with the new ones and now have a template for the old P Special. I'd rather spend extra money and time dealing with a company I trust, than hope a company with bad feedback doesn't do a hack job and then get snippy if I don't like it.
