Christian Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Mine is the same as Bramble's too Have just been into Amazon and changed my address...that was a faff! On a positive note, the oil was delivered 2 days ago, logs arriving on Sunday! Bag of salt & 2 large snow shovels in the shed and lots of kindling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 My local Homebase has short handle snow shovels for £9.99 and long handled ones for £14.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Is it true that cut off feet from tights / pop socks over your shoes or wellies stops you slipping on ice? Was on Martin Lewis website a bit ago. Got to drain the boilers on the caravans over the weekend - zero degrees at night forecast. Brrrrrr.

The Dogmother Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 They do to a certain extend but then get clogged up with ice and snow and are just as slippy as without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 If you go to this item on Amazon it says In stock. Dispatched from and sold by Base. Only 1 left in stock--order soon. so hopefully they will be on their way to us soon ?! I will be VERY dissapointed if they have had stock (that they are selling) and I don't get one soon.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Anyone else had this email? Hello, We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed as we are still awaiting stock from our suppliers : "Gelert Folding Shovel" Estimated arrival date: December 06 2011 - December 08 2011 I'm tempted to cancel the order and just buy one from a real shop - they're full of shovels at the moment .

Redwing Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Well I suppose you could buy one and have the other one too, someone reported shovels for £4 in Tesco You could have one for the car and one for home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I had the same email today too! There is on eon Amazon for £6 with a nifty little bag. Will go for that I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've not had an email but I'm tempted to check and then cancel the order. One was for Phil for Christmas as they always get snowed in up on the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I will be VERY annoyed to get the email, having waited this long. Especially as they are still offering the item on their web site (but at a higher price). I think they should honour their 'contract' and source them from where ever they can to satisfy people they have promised them to. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've had the email too ... very tempted to cancel ... starting to think the advertised price was a mistake and they will eventually cancel from their end ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I got the email yesterday, I have cancelled the order as i will travel over to Leeds and get one there, or my very good friend will pick one up for me mid week, from the garden centre. Disappointed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I've just had my email and will cancel the order later... what a pain! I'll look in the local army surplus store when I'm next in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I cancelled the previous order and have just received my Silverline folding shovels and very good they look too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My little shovel arrived 2 days ago and is very nifty. Folds down into a little bag, but very strong. Tiny thing, but looks like it is up to the job. Must remember to put it in the car now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yak Trax at the ready! I'm sure snow is on its way soon! Think I'll need more than a folding shovel round here As for folding shovel, if it's that bad, I won't be venturing out in the car.

Bramble Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Well, I've just had an email "mailshot" from Amazon, telling me all about the marvellous Gelert Folding Shovels they have IN STOCK. The two that I ordered way back when are scheduled for dispatch tomorrow so they had better be sent this time !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My Amazon account says it's due to be delivered tomorrow or Friday. We shall see . I've not had an email . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's my account that says they are scheduled for dispatch tomorrow, they haven't emailed me to confirm ... it's the "mailshot" email that makes me slightly concerned ... they are sending me a mailshot about something I have already ordered ... makes me think the ones I have ordered (at a significantly better price than the current mailshot price, I might add) are not going to arrive ...
