Land of Leather-Immediate Delivery=7weeks

Don't order a patio table set from Land of Leather unless you want to wait until the summer is over before you get it!

I ordered a 'Paris Garden Set' (patio table, chairs, brolly & cushions) from land of Leather on-line last week. £399+£29 delivery. The ad in the national press stated immediate delivery. I phoned them to check the delivery time and I was told (rather rudely) that delivery would be in approx 7 weeks! When I complained I was told that the ad was probably correct at the time, but now (two days later) delivery is 7 weeks. I cancelled the order and am awaiting refund of my deposit.

One week later, L of L are again advertising the table with 'immediate delivery'.. They know that they do not have any in stock, so why are they doing this?

I have since bought the exact same patio elsewhere for the same price.

    Send a e-mail to the Advertising Standards Authority these fools have been getting away with stuff like this for too long

    That seems a lot of money for garden chairs.

    Have now recieved refund of deposit from L of L.

    My delivery from other supplier is expected this afternoon.
    With regards to it being a lot of money, I thought it was quite a good deal. The set comprises of extending hardwood table, 6 reclining chairs with arms. 6 full cushions (seat and back), matching brolly.

    Just hope we get some sun so that we can use it!!
