Incidentally - they have taken the £1 from my account. Is it now a contract that they have to fulfill?

(I doubt it, but.....)

HettiePetal · 09/01/2014 03:19

Mine also says "Dispatched....to be delivered by 13th Feb".

It also says: Please note: this order cannot now be amended. This does not affect your legal rights

Oh, yeah, M&S? It can't be amended? I bet YOU'LL amend it though Wink

Buzzardbird · 09/01/2014 01:26

Mine says "dispatched"! Really? Are they really sending it? Look forward to receiving my swatch.:)

Juno77 · 09/01/2014 00:09

I got a confirmation email, but my M&S account isn't showing anything now?

Doodlekitty · 08/01/2014 23:59

Someone on hotdeals saying they ordered 177. Where the hell will they keep the if the honour it

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 23:53

Order status updated to 'delivered by :13 February 2014'. Thank you all for a great laugh on this thread tonight. Smile

TimeToPassGo · 08/01/2014 23:49

Yes mine too. I shall believe it when I see it!

Signing off for the night and going to dream sweet dreams about my recliner. Night all Wink

scripsi · 08/01/2014 23:47

Mine is now going to be delivered by 13 February.

TimeToPassGo · 08/01/2014 23:46

My item is in my open orders to be dispatched soon. No email cancelling it yet.

scripsi · 08/01/2014 23:45

Hmm, did you get the original order is despatching status?

Juno77 · 08/01/2014 23:41

Hmm.

When I log into my M&S account, there are no open orders. No 'orders placed in 2014'.

Does this mean it's been cancelled?

Grin TalkativeJim think there needs to be a cracking of knuckles at the end of that sentence for extra effect.

Mine now says will arrive in one delivery by 13th Feb too. I can't really believe we're going to get them are we?!?! Shock Shock

ravenAK · 08/01/2014 23:33

My email now says despatched by 13th Feb.

They're conveying it on the back of a team of winged Gloucester Old Spots & Lord Lucan will need me to sign for it on delivery.

TalkativeJim · 08/01/2014 23:33

Gideon, reply to them: 'No. You will despatch it, now. I want my chair. Let's not make this difficult.'

ouryve · 08/01/2014 23:33

Hmm.

I bought sofas from M&S a few months ago. Ordered and got confirmation. Next thing was the phone call, then an order on its way message a few days before the agreed date.

Reckon you're all going to get fabric swatches :o

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 08/01/2014 23:28

They've notified Gavin's elves: graham, Dave, Steve and our Kev

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/01/2014 23:27

Hence why you can't amend or change your order now as someone has actually started making your chair...

MunchMunch · 08/01/2014 23:27

Mine has apparently been dispatched today for delivery 13th February!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/01/2014 23:26

Maybe it means they have placed the order with the manufacturer - isn't stuff like this often made to order?

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2014 23:26

Yes. It's a battleship radio, that bobs in the bath. Tesco direct were selling them for 50 pence. And I decided that FiL needs a boat radio for his bath. Grin

ButICantaloupe · 08/01/2014 23:26

Goofy I've checked the M&S feed I can't see any jokes about it. The tweet about 'missing out in an offer' was in response to a complaint Confused

MyNameIsKenAdams · 08/01/2014 23:25

You know they spotted this error then realised that the best thing to do would ve to deliver to all the ones who called it ugly. Their sweet revenge.

youarewinning · 08/01/2014 23:25

Buzzard that was exactly what I was going to post!
