    I had a dispatch confirmation this morning, showing sundress and beach towel, no tracking so will wait and see if they turn up.

    I've just had this email...

    Due to an overwhelming response on the free beach towel offer, we are very sorry but we have unfortunately run out! It's not all bad news though, as a replacement, we are offering a free Petroleum Free Jelly tube, a canvas Green Baby shopper and a £5.00 gift voucher to spend on full price items. Total retail value £16.95.

    Enjoy your free gifts! You will receive your order over the next 2-3 days.

    So - guess I am one of the lucky ones, but I really wanted the towel! Still, nice looking bits and just have to wait and see which of my two orders arrives...

    I got this email too so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones too! I'm really happy with the replacements actually as I didn't need anymore beach towels really.

    I wonder if they are doing this for people who spent a certain amount or who ordered several items. (I ordered 3 sales items with totalled about £13), and then just cancelled those who ordered one cheap item.

    OK apparently my 2 orders were merged into one, and the entire thing was cancelled as they have run out of every single thing I ordered including the free beach towels:( Don't think I'll be bothering with them again, which is a great shame as I did like some of their stuff and their sale prices were attractive. But what is the point in doing orders when you have no idea of what is in stock? Think they've lost a potential customer here, and its a bit shabby that despite having messed me around, cancelled 2 orders and cancelled the 2 free gifts that they haven't sent out a voucher or similar as a gesture of goodwill. Even free postage would have been good, and of no great expense to them.
