Afterthought after placing order..

I wanted to build something in the shed and found a company onlline checked them out and its a company
that have been trading for many years and the address shows on google streetview with the company name and
details all showing correctly.   Good to go..Yes /Maybe?

Now the website shows the online shop active and recommends using the online shop but no mention of the current
issues and any restrictions, its a palleted kerbside delivery.

Q?.   Would you just purchase it and wait with crossed fingers or would you attempt to contact them first?  Impatient me just
purchased it and crossing my fingers they are still open for business with not too much of a delay with deliveries.

    If you've already purchased, why bother to have a retrospective straw poll? Won't change the outcome!
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Because I would like to see what other people think. Its a strange situation we are currently in.   Noticed some websites
    make zero mention of the issue and whether they are still open for business or on a limited staff or reduced days/hours
    if they are even open at all. Yet websites maybe taking orders that just wont be fulfilled.
