Has anyone ordered more than 6??
Just curious as the limit for MCOL is £5k??
For this amount or more surely a "no-win-no-fee" solicitor would be an option??

Lynsey

You must have a big house to want more than 6. Lynsey you have a message

Just going through this again, it is unbelievable.

Apparently B&Q were aware of an error with the rain harvesting tanks on the 21st June and took immediate action!!! I actually believe mine were purchased before the time of the first post on this website and didn't customers purchase these a day or two later? And then there is this website - apparently "individuals engaged in these forums have automatic alerts set up and monitor the Forums to ascertain when retailers experience problems...... ..... with the intention of taking advantage of such problems". - Sounds very clever how is this done??

It then goes on to mention, as an example "Zanussi Integrated dishwasher - £94 delivered @ B&Q Possible misprice".

Surely that title is suggesting a bargain as the poster has absolutely no certainty if this is a misprice or bargain. Turns out this was a bargain. Why bother having an advertising budget to attract customers? Shame they didn't have enough stocks to fulfill their orders. Was this caused by:
1 Act of God
2 War and other hostilities
3 Civil commotion
4 Accident
5 Strikes
6 Lock outs
7 Trade disputes
8 Acts or restraints of Government
9 Imposition or restrictions of imports or exports
or any other cause not within the reasonable control of B&Q

Who is to blame for poor stock control or computer systems if it isn't B&Q?

Come on B&Q - don't alienate your customers, supply them with the goods or equivalent which you formed the contract with. You made the rules, we played by your terms and conditions. Contract is formed upon payment as per your wording. It is that simple, where is your arguement?

They have stocks now to supply otherwise they wouldn't be offering them??
