Sad day if they can't turn it around

Interestingly I was placing an online order today and happened to notice the green metal arches I use to make net supports are no longer restricted to buying two at a time, so alongside my usual cat food delivery I might have added a few into my basket……😬

Update…this isn’t looking good, I was supposed to be getting my order delivered tomorrow but haven’t had a n order despatched email yet. I looked on my account and they have cancelled my whole order, no communication from them telling me that. There Customer Service phone lines are ‘temporarily closed due to a technical issue’ so have emailed to ask what is going on….luckily I paid by PayPal so can try and open a case for a refund if the worst happens!
