    they're giving the toys to charity and yet you say they have no principles :confused: Sorry that one's gone well over my head
    no principles because they take an order in good faith and then screw you over or in my case my niece who is 10 and was very excited about getting Aleksandr for christmas. And as for giving them to charity I'm sure Al Fyedd is enjoying all this free publicity

    I'm not going to shop there NOT because I didn't get a meerkat but because I don't like the way the store does business you can't rely on them

    They didn't take an order, they registered your interest in purchasing in the future.

    calm down calm down, it's a commercial.

    Look, we are all entitled to our opinions. Just maybe I wanted to give my little one something that may be rare when she gets older, something that has a story and something unique and rare about it.

    Of course I am disappointed. Yes it is a !!!!!!!g stuffed toy, but it was unfair of Harrods to keep us all waiting then give the stock we have all been waiting for (and put our names down for away).

    The excuse, they were popular so we gave them away is leading to to another website in my mindset called confused.com. If every company who had a success gave it all away, we would all be driving round in free BMWs.

    Some will take a view that their item has gone to a better place, some will take the view it shouildnt have gone on ebay and some people will want to rant at Harrods. We are all unique and whilst I do like to make my point and test things to the limit, I am still entitied to make a t i t of myself.

    Anyway, enough on this. Merry Christmas as I hope that Harrods does run off another 5000 of these for you all.
