    Hura!!! I've managed to order it for my Brother DCP-130C. Customer service is very helpfull. According to them they did not expect such volume of customers and at the time of my order it was about 5000 customers on site ( no wonder - for such bargain. well done guys:)) and thats what caused problems, but now i'm sorted.:rotfl:Thank you for this info - just what I needed.:j

    When I was paying I got this message as well in the process of verification of my card, but after I re-entered site again I had the message that payment gone through and order number. So I would suggest to try again and again ( unfortunatly ) or if youve registered there go through your account and look under your recent orders. Good Luck.;)

    :TJust ordered for my Epson DX4000, 5 blacks and one whole set £7...fantastic, site was very slow but payment went through very quickly. Ordered about 10 mins ago but not received confirmation e-mail yet. Not worried though as details appear once you log in and I did get an order no.
    Thank for this OP, great deal.

    Oh dear, it is possible to bankrupt a company by sending too many orders.
    The accountants call it "Over Trading." as the jump in turnover requires more "working capital" financing so forces the company over its borrowing limits; however with retail, which is what this is, it is one of the few trading opportunities where the customers pay "cash on the nail" in advance. Lots of people have got into business, via retail, with very little capital of their own, ie they borrowed their customers' (& suppliers') money . (and many retailers seem to go into liquidation in spite of a having a queue of customers outside)
    At least we are paying the bank via the credit card company - let us hope the bank will extend the credit to the company and the company gets to keep enough of us new customers to finance this subsidised initial offer?
    (Or the directors manage to raise more capital on the strength of their order book)

    Sorry, I am now retired so cannot do a credit check on the company for free any more;)
