I was getting worried that the order i placed on the 8th for delivery to Norwich stote was not going to happen as I had heard nothing. Had an email today to say he is on his way to store for tomorrow - fingers crossed he's there when I get there .....0

Ordered 2 arrived today. many thanks0

Mine was despatched on the 9th, to be delivered by today. Still at Sheffield, apparently.

I don't know how all the other companies manage to deliver things to Scotland this week, but not M&S! :mad:0 -
Recieved today! Fun!0

Yay! Dave finally arrived today (big thanks to my friend for sitting in for me to take delivery) and he works, phew!0

Dave is back in stock at M&S. The 50% banner is still there but is not on offer anymore. As i had my order cancelled I rang them up and complained. I now have Dave on the way at the original sale price of £12.50. So if you had your order cancelled or still want one give them a ring.Mortgage Free as of 31/5/11 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j0

i rang up last night and they honoured it at the same price, with free delivery, i couldn't put my hand on the 10% voucher at the time but they said they would honour that as well...
he's despatching soon

Had an email last night saying he would be despatched that day at the very latest and then got an email this morning saying I wouldn't get delivery until the 20th and he's STILL not despatched! GRR! How blooming annoying. Am having an email war now...sigh0
