Advice Re : Taylors Garden Buildings

I ordered a 10' x 7' garden shed from Taylors Garden Buildings on 24th August. The expected delivery on their web site says 10-20 working days.
I needed the shed to use as a workshop as I have been renting a unit but cannot afford to keep it anymore. I have to pay 6 months upfront for the rental on the unit.
My original 6 months contract is up on the 30th Sept. On the 30th August I gave the compulsory 1 months notice as I should have received the shed by the 30th Sept.
Despite many on-line chats, phone calls and e-mails I have still not received the shed. They keep telling me that they are having manafacturing problems and that the manafacturer has not yet got a date for delivery and they can't say when it will be.
From the 24th August until today excluding weekends and a bank holiday it is now 24 days. Today I was told again that they could not give me a date for delivery but I would be contacted in plenty of time before delivery. This could mean another week or two waiting maybe more.
The worst thing is that on their web site they have customer comments saying how they had their shed delivered in 5 days.
My problem now is that I have a unit full of equipment, that needs to be out by 30th Sept and nowhere to put it.
It may mean that I have to rent the unit for an extra month or maybe even have to pay the 6 months up front again.
Does anyone have any suggestions what to do regarding Taylors.

re your equipment,surely self storage unit will be cheaper than 6 months rent.

I have today had to pay another one months rent, which is not as bad as having to pay the 6 months, but I am just really annoyed that I have had to do this.
As far as I was concerned I had ordered the shed in plenty of time and was never made aware of any problems by Taylors until after the expected delivery date and then only because I contacted them.
