I contacted the seller via Amazon earlier today as mine had not arrived. They have agreed to send another one out, first class delivery. It did take a few e-mails to get it sorted, but they came back really quickly.

Would you believe they've just emailed to say none in stock!! So are going to refund me instead!! Guess thats cos I got it cheap?!!!! It was in stock earlier when I checked!! They've not mentioned the other order yet.......!

They said this to me as well, and I (truthfully) explained that it wasn't acceptable as it was a birthday present, which I ordered at a fantastic price. I explained that I was unwilling to order at the price they now were on Amazon. They then came back pretty much straight away saying they made a mistake, and that they are in stock. They agreed to send one out first class. This has literally just arrived in the past 10 mins. However the box is damaged slightly at the back, and this clearly wasn't done by Royal Mail, as there was no damage to the packaging it came in. Hope you get yours sorted.

@wolvey what a shame the Marvins magic and jewellery station were such a great price, I see the jewellery station is still in stock so they can resend that, I would ask them to honour the price you paid if they get the Marvins magic back in stock, I see two other Amazon sellers are selling it for £53.98 and £52.77 crazy prices!

Back in june I purchased 4 plates from Amazon they had been £52.00! but I paid £11.00 when they arrived they were smashed and they had no more stock to send me so I asked them to honour the price when they came back in stock which they said they would. I checked every week and they didn't come back in stock until December and they were back up to £52.00 I contacted Amazon and they said they would honour the £11.00 price but they actually sent them for free so it was even better!

Thanks Glinda....
They've just emailed that they are refunding the jewellery station as well and cancelling my order?? I didn't ask for that.....just inquired where that order was!!!!
Oh what a day!! lol! I'll ask what you suggest, but again, don't hold out any hope!! 12 emails so far from them!! Most from different people!!
Gotta laugh I suppose!!!!! :rotfl: (Thats me slowly going mad!)

@wolfey I would def insist on a resend of the jewellery station as it's still in stock and a price honour for the Marvins magic and do keep checking for it to come back in stock as they won't contact you.
Poor you what a pain!

I had the same issue with the plates, and had given up hope of them ever coming back into stock. Thanks for posting, I can get mine sorted now as well.
