My reply said:

"We're sorry to hear your new LEGO set 'Escape From Privet Drive' was
incomplete.  Although we do our utmost to avoid this, it can sometimes
occur that a pieces may be missing, especially in larger sets.  I have
today ordered the requested parts and these should arrive with you
within the next 7 to 10 days."

This was in response to the Service form on the website.  The server
e-mailed me back within the hour, but it took over a week for this
handwritten response.  I don't have a problem with that since I only bought
the Privets for parts (and I had the gall to ask for an extra bit or two as
well as my missing parts.  I'll wait and see if I get them), but I'd
recommend using the telephone if someone you know is upset about a missing
piece.
