See the other threads about this offer - one member has already received an email confirming that the items are no longer available and the order has been cancelled without any money being taken - I guess this is Bensons way of getting out of a b**** up!!! I'm looking out for my email now!0

Mistakes like these must cause them one hell of a nuisance..... im sure there could be a weeks worth of work lost with the sheer number of orders they will have to cancel and apologise and listen to ranting customers.....
Big boob on someones part

except for the general public when it can mean whatever they want it to.0 -
Got my cancellation email through. Glad they were honest and didn't immediately jump on the offensive (unlike eBuyer did a while ago in a similar situation).
Really did think £5.99 for the Buffy Complete Collection was a bit too good to be true...0 -
Also got the same email - ah well, maybe next time!0

there's no need to keep posting the email, guys, as most people will have seen it or received it themselves by now anyway - thanks0

Had one person only ordered one, they still would not have got them!
We all knew they were supposed to be deleted items!
Friends sets gave it away as you can't get them anywhere as they are no longer available, and havn't been for a long time!

Thank you for your e-mail which unfortunately cancels my order. I understand the item is now deleted. I assume that should the item become available again, I will be able to purchase it at the price you recently accepted.
Regards
