I emailed Hobbycraft and they emailed me the telephone number of their Gloucester store which posts items to shoppers. I telephoned the number and spoke to Henry and he said that the 3" gold buckets I wanted were not available but 4" ones were. He stated the 4" ones were 79p each and measured 8cm. I said 8cm was closer to 3" rather than 4" but he was sure they were 4" so maybe he is correct because the 3" were advertised as 62p each. He had fifteen in stock and had to contact another store, Newport, and they are sending him the other three I require tomorrow. He said he would telephone me tomorrow to arrange p&p and payment. :j

Thank you for the offer but if he doesn't get back to me I still might need you! THANKS! :A

All this to make the pots of gold I seen on here! I hope those who receive them appreciate them!

Henry never got back to me on Friday so on Friday evening after 4pm I telephoned and asked to speak to him but I was told he was not in today. I spoke to Doreen as she had answered the telephone, who spoke to Mike, regarding the matter. She said the three buckets had not been transferred from the other site but they should be over the weekend and someone would get back to me over the weekend or on Monday. Surprisingly no one has telephoned me yet!

Is there any chance they will get back to me regarding the 18 gold buckets I require or is this typical of their customer service?

I telephoned this evening after 5pm and this time I spoke to Henry who said he would telephone me tomorrow as the three buckets hadn't came in yet. He also said that if they didn't come in tomorrow he would telephone and let me know. Either way he said I would have them by the weekend.

What are my chances of receiving these gold buckets?

This is the start of my patchwork quilt. Have run out of material just now so have only got one strip done so far. Picture of it on my homepage. Think I was a bit naive on how much fabric that its going to take.
