  • It looks like they are trying to make some money back from the cheaper orders they sent out. That is such a shame :(

    my orders still show as order created & they have taken the money out of my bank? i wouldn't have thought they would have taken the money until order was being despatched!

  • They probably know that it's going out in the newsletter so have increased the price.
    Make £11,000 in 2011 challenge - £120/£11,000
  • Yes, the money will show as taken from your account but the money is being held. It is so that the company know the funds are reserved so when the items are despatched they get paid, if the order gets cancelled the money will be released back into your account. Your bank is like the middleman.

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I got a cancellation email today as items out of stock. Email says they will refund my money so must have already been taken. It was for the halloween chocolate balls x2 and the Tiramisu hot choc ordered on 24th. Still not had despatch email for the guilty pleasure ordered on 23rd.
