    I'm not worried as I don't mind chasing for refund but just know it can be a pain for others.

    Looks like they have done this before I should have looked further back on reviews yesterday.

    1/5:
    "DONT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!! Decided they they didnt want to send me my whisky as amazon made an error listing it, be very careful with this company. As a result my amazon account is now closed after 8 yrs using them!!"
    Amazon Customer, 3 September 2015
    Seller Response: We are very sorry that the listing was incorrect on Amazon and as a small business we could not afford to send the 6 bottles of Whiskey for the price of 1 which would have cost us a loss of £400, we did try to resolve the matter and offered the customer a free bottle of Whiskey of his choice and we refunded the order in full but he refused to accept the whisky or our apology. Whilst this is a rare occurrence we are all human and mistakes can happen and we will always do are up most to resolve them.

    I'm hoping the ones we ordered yesterday really is 10 bottles. After looking at prices of other stuff they sell. :eek: Had it happen with coffee before only sent one pack when meant to have been 6 which made price extortionate but had the price refunded so free.

    What's the name of one you ordered today please. :D

    Jacobs Creek Sparkling Rose Non Vintage 20 cl (Case of 10)
    It's the same as the one you posted last night.

    :o

    Apologies - pulling myself together - was typing before I put my brain into gear

    Expecting a visit now from exDH & his son :) so having to get myself 'normal'

    I've heard that my Boss has said some really horrid stuff regarding my Father being ill :(:(
    Debating whether to give in a months notice & then hope new year offers me new opportunity.
    My heart is ruling my head - financially I could survive for a few months & try & find or start a new job :)

    It may be better to try and find a new job before putting in your notice? You can always work to rule and it can be easier finding a new job while in an existing one (see it as getting paid to find a new job - revenge on the horrible boss :D)?
