They continue to take orders, knowing that they either cannot dispatch in their (repeatedly) stated times they broadcast on air. Also, I think they may have phantom stock and may well know that they cannot fulfill the order, yet continue to offer the same items for sale It is a case of money grabbing and this time of year is the most lucritive. Money in the bank for Gemporia and slow refunds for disappointed customers. I think there will be many people who have purchased items for Christmas who will be left high and dry, delivery companies will only get busier as the month goes on. Personally, I think it is a disgrace and I feel bad for those who will be led up the garden path.
