Try reloading: www.­hattons.­co.­uk

Tried Google Chrome, same

Hi

I have managed to connect to both addresses but the connection took a while (roughly about a minute) before the page appeared.

Cheers

Same here, anyone tried phoning them yet?  ???

Maybe their server crashed under the weight of pre-orders.  ;D

Or maybe it is a ruse to lose all the Bachmann and Farish pre-orders at the old price.  :-\

Cynical? Moi?  :scowl:

yep and my missing order is down to you know who !!!- YODEL .. sent it to Scotland by mistake sheesh!

I always phone my orders in these days and insist that YODEL are not used (Only Royal Mail) and this is clearly noted on the despatch instructions. Since I have been doing that no more problems thus far.

The Irony is I did select Royal mail as the delivery method...

Yes, I have done that when ordering online in the past and most recently my BR black Ivatt was despatched using YODEL in spite of my clear instruction to use Royal Mail. That was a real debacle.

Since that time I have always phoned. How I position it with them is that if they are unable to confirm only Royal Mail will be used I will go elsewhere. I also make a note of who I spoke to. Having a name always helps I find!
