    It will just mean none in their warehouse and they're waiting for them from the suppliers.
    That's right - they have run out of all the £6.99 ones, but they have a warehouse full of the £36.99 ones ready for immediate dispatch.
    Which is funny, because the two versions are exactly the same.

    Do a search on Doctor Who 1st Series and the search screen shows:
    "Our price: £36.99
    Availability: In stock, usually despatched within 24 hours"
    To me "in stock" would imply that these were in stock. Usually despatched within 24 hours would imply they have them immediately to hand.
    Yet the next page when you select says usually dispatched within 3 to 7 days.
    Seems that Virgin haven't got a clue!!
    Maybe that was why Richard sold this company to a management buyout? Maybe he knows just how poor they are and got out while he still could?

    There was the same discrepancy with the prices before. £36.99, go to page £6.99. Surely all those bits should be variables stored within a database so should not vary between search results and the actual page. At least if we get them for £6.99 something's going right :D

    My order status has now changed from "back ordered" to "in progress" - hopefully this a good sign that we may yet get them for £6.99!
