Laminate floor Canadian elm

Bought laminate flooring from wickes i need 2 more boxes to finish the floor but have been told by wickes that they no longer stock this flooring but a store miles away have 20 boxes and I should have bought enough at the time to complete the job, but won't deliver me 2 boxes or deliver to a store a bit nearer to me, even if pay ,plus the flooring had a 15yr guarantee, when I questioned the guarantee I was told that's down to the manufacturer but it states on the pack that wickes building supplies ltd is whom the guarantee is with and manufactured by,
I would never have bought this flooring had wickes informed me that the flooring was going to be discontinued, I don't drive so now I'm stuck, :mad:

    Can you find a "man with a van" to drive to this other store and pick some up?
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
  • Tried that he wants £100, going to try and find another
  • I'm really angry that wickes didn't tell me it was being discontinued at the time
  • Wickes have phoned me going to see if they can sort something out for me, fingers crossed
  • Hi Ji11I am also chasing 6-10 of these boxes of laminates (Canadian Elm) and if it is not too far away am prepared to go pick them up. I am near Coventry and willing to travel 50-100 miles. Which store has these? Can you help please?

    Maybe the staff didn't know it was being discontinued.
