    cheekyherb, did you receive a despatch email beforehand? TIA
    And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed
    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you

  • no, I got a order confirmation and then nothing else. arrived saturday mid day. would it be worth giving customer services a ring? I have an awful feelign they might be out of stock and not doing anymore hence the orders being "stuck"?

    I have not received mine either, I rang customer services on Monday morning and was told my order was still processing, and I would receive e-mail. I havent heard anything since. I have a feeling cheekyherb maybe right and they are out of stock :(
  • I might be wrong, but I'm sure I read somewhere on here that they were overwhelmed by orders and couldn't meet them. Really gets my back upto see them being sold on ebay for £25+.... some people are just greedy - makes it a real disappointment for people that genuinley wanted them for their children (like me)

    I can't see my status, don't think I opened an account, but I haven't received anything. I think they have handled this whole situation really badly.

    Edited to add: I just called and spoke to a very cheery lady, but i have no idea if I can believe a word she said!
    She told me that they are waiting for more stock of the gingerbreads to come in and I will get an email when they are ready. huh! I didn't argue, there didn't seem any point.
  • I honestly cannot believe that people are buying them off ebay for £30 odd quid. I managed to get quite a few from my store but only for orders for people on another forum site - i made no profit whatsoever and it took me petrol time to buy and also time and packaging to send. I also sold one on ebay myself a spare one but made no profit. I think it is despicable that these greedy people are out to make some money at others expense shame on all of you ! I personally think if everyone refused to buy them then they would could unstuck. Apologies to anyone who didnt manage to get one.



    Make £200 by end of January... £20.42/£200
    Grocery Challenge £200 pm Jan £0/£200
    January no spend days - 1/31

    I looked at ebay and considered buying two for a few wild moments, LOL! then i remembered my kids don't even know they exist, and while they would love them, they'll love some other xmas teddy I manage to get for their xmas eve hampers too.

    Having read that back I seem to be assuming my order isn't going to arrive which is probably just about right!
