    Perhaps they're having to re-stock their warehouse?


    EDIT: I hope it doesn't mean it's a way for them to keep orders pending whilst they are sorting out cancellations?

      Maybe I wondered if it was there way of parking suspicious orders...

        I was starting to wonder if it could be that all orders under a certain amount were held pending a manual check, but a few of JWK's were for several £'s so I'm not so sure about that.

        I can't recall ever getting dispatch notification emails from VM, so it's back to waiting for the postie ....

          Just had a thought, if everybody's initial small purchases, the ones made to get the first £5 code, are also showing as "awaiting stock" then there may be nothing to be concerned about by that status.

            Groupon are doing a £20 Wyevale voucher for £12, that would get the cost of 40 x 50p packets down nicely, but can only be used at 50 selected stores http://m.groupon.co.uk/deals/wyevale-garden-centres-2 @JWK includes Weybridge Wyevale @liliana includes Thatcham Wyevale

                      Just had a quick check as to what has been marked 'Despatched', they are all items that were available in 1 to 3 days. All the rest on my order are for delivery from Aug through to March next year (plugs, bulbs, bare root plants etc).

                          Thanks for that @Scrungee but the voucher expires on 25th August which is just before the 50p seed sale if I recall correctly from previous years.
