Why couldn't they fulfil small orders and cancel the greedy ones. I've sat around for days thinking it's on its way, now need to start over again.
Thanks for letting us know Diasi.
I feel really bad for getting people's hopes up.
I explained to the firm that I'd recommended them on a pensioners' forum as all the members are in the 'at risk' group, & that some of the orders on the last few days would have been from them, but to no avail.
In fairness to the firm, they have been given instructions to cancel all orders from non-approved customers & I imagine that only a Government instruction could force therm to do it.
The bloke was very apologetic & he did have a look for any old stock that wasn't covered by the new instruction but there wasn't any.
It's like so many of the depressing things in life where the fair-minded responsible ones are always paying the price for the greedy irresponsible ones.
It's the same with your house & car insurance, you're paying £50 on each policy to cover the idiots who chose to live on a river bank & the criminals who drive uninsured.
P.S. You will be able to get them, but it depends on how much you're prepared to pay.
I object to paying £20, £30 for a £5 bottle but a part of me thinks this is no time to make a moral stand & I need to hold my nose & buy at those prices.
