    Its a VERY simplistic way of looking at things but would be interesting to see how it went but:-

    1. Any transaction entered into by a company AFTER administrators are appointed usually has the protection of the courts
    2. Even administrators shouldnt be able to stop you getting a refund if the goods are faulty as this protection is provided by STATUTE. Ok, they can stop refunds if you simply didnt want them any more.

    Didn't order in the end, but just to echo a previous poster that dispatch is normally on the slow side for here. My last order was two weeks aroundabout for delivery.
  • Hi, just an update on my earlier post. My order which was placed on 24 December has actually arrived! There are a couple of other things I would like to order, but have decided not to push my luck just in case the next lot doesnt turn up. Hope everyone else receives theirs!
  • Warning. I ordered online from hawkin on 28 Dec. Ive heard nothing. Think I've lost my money.

    I have received a dispatched email last night for the order I have made on 27th Dec and amended to add more items on 7th Jan. It is being delivered by a courier company called DPD and I had the option to change the delivery date, so it is arriving tomorrow now. When I amended my order, the guy on the phone did say that things are a little slow as they are in adminstration but I am not in a hurry for the items to arrive anyway, so that's ok.

    I was going to order but I see the shop in town has closed down and so I dont think I'll take the risk
