Declining email has just popped into my inbox. No chairs for us...

Yep, same recliner decliner email received here

Gutted for you

Yup.. recliner decliner here as well....

Anyone going in for more action?

I've just had a recliner decliner email too. Sad times

I am however surprised that it's taken them all day too decide what to do and that there is no form of goodwill gesture. Suspect this may not be entirely over.

[shuffles off to practice Daily Mail sad face]

My order has been cancelled. Just had an email. Was expecting it but can't believe how long they took just to send a short email.

I enjoyed the thread though!

I have the same email - they seem to forget that a contract was concluded when they took the money from the account ...

Recliner decliner email here too

I needed those chairs......

I don't know why I'm disappointed. I have nowhere to put the bloody thing even if they had honoured it!!

Got my recliner decliner message.

No personal touch along the lines of ....you'll also get refunded for the extra £2.80 we robbed you off for your wrapping paper.

And as I wrote that I've got my decliner for my recliner....note they say they will issue a refund

Well I'm going to fight them now. Bastards

My poor nanna

I won't be ordering online again for a while with them anyway as I have had 2 previous orders for sale items cancelled, even though there was plenty of stock when I ordered them :(

I'm just pissed off it took them so long to send the email.

Shall we join forces? Sit in somewhere?

Its just so unfair :(

Just had the recliner decliner email. I hope they've refunded my 50P!

I'm also surprised no goodwill gesture (not even to a charity).

(exits to watch their facebook page explode...)

Same email received here as well
