Maybe now stock is floating around they will honor those on back order when they get their stock. Fingers crossed.

If Wilkinsons had stock on line tonight, it may be that they will have them in the store in the morning?

I would expect the major retailers who took backorders to have stock coming in over the next few days.

I suspect that Character are helping out other retailers who got their fingers burned by over-selling by pushing their own stock into the distribution chain. (just my guess)

But we do know that a new consignment of Hamsters was due into the UK this week and next (unless anything changed).

Lizdav - thanks! Just wondered if you know if this order includes wheels, which seem to have replaced the ball as the hamster holy grail...?

I ordered 2 hammys and they are now showing on 'backorder' I need to call them really to cancel them & ask them to refund my money as they took it out when I ordered.

This is the exact reaso I am bringing it up; Asda aren't like Play etc, they have actually take money at the time of ordering. Worth reminding people in case the orders never materialise and Asda need a kick up the backside to organise refunds. I would hate or someone to lose out if they have backordered and pid for one of each hamster and a house that never materialise and forget to request the refund.

Cheers,

i could be totally wrong but I would say, They will go out to the stores tonight for delivery tomorrow and then to be out on the shop floors on Wednesday.. This was how I was told by staff there on how it works, Some stores have a night replenishing team.. But then again I was also told it rarely makes it onto the shop floor! It certainly didn't in Walsall store & in Coventry store they did the silly 1 hammy per person trick last week, Great if you only need 1 but if you need 2 you'd have to take someone with you.

I work at Wilkinson putting the delivery out in the evenings. I finished at 10pm tonight and we had no Go Go pets stuff at all on the delivery. I don't know if this will be the same for all stores though as I know different parts of the country are served by two different Wilkinson distribution centres.

I agree! Wouldn't be too bad if they took the money on dispatch instead. Would also be good to have some sort of easier cancellation policy rather then just telephoning, It's just a added distraction when your still hunting for other things & your guaranteed stock will appear while your on the phone! :rolleyes:

Anyone seen any skateboards in and around Edinburgh area? I posted earlier that Toys Galore in Morningside had some surfboard/sleep domes left.

I have been told a different story every time I contact the store. They told me this morning that it was unlikley they would have any more stock before Christmas but I refuse to believe them! I have got to get that ball!
