Antony Worrall Thompson Cutlery

[Polotoo]

Following on from Tony1941's rant..... before christmas I brought my parents a really nice cutlery set from Matalan. Now they don't stock it anymore!!!!

Does anyone know where I can get Antony Worrall Thompson Cutlery Set - Dolce. I ordered one online from Amazon on the 12th Feb, delivery estimated 28th Feb - now its been pushed back to 5th May!!! In the meantime my poor parents can only have 2 dinner guests at a time as no matching cutlery!!

Any help, ideas, advice welcome!! Thanks!!

Every firm on the internet, which offers this cutlery, seems to quote a delivery time of 1 to 2 weeks, which is exactly the same as Amazon's quoted delivery time. This seemed to be more than just a coincidence until I noticed that every firm offering this product either has a site which looks like Amazon's or has links to Amazon's site.

I suspect that the only online seller which actually stocks this cutlery is Amazon and that they're dependent upon waiting for delivery from the UK distributor. They, in turn, are probably waiting for a company in, say, the Far East, to provide new stocks.

The only advice I can really offer is to try contacting the UK distributor to see if they can suggest how you can get hold of this product more quickly:
Ultimate Products
Manor Mill
Victoria Street
Chadderton
OL9 0DD
0161 934 2240

In the meantime, I'll try to call into any Matalan stores which I happen to be passing and I'll let you know if I find one which has some stock left.

Sorry not to be of more help at this time,

Chris

These have been selling on "Bid tv or Price Drop tv".I think it was last night, but I can't remember how much.Both of these are channels are available on the web. Take in to account that if you phone to buy there is a �1.95 call charge + post & packaging which is �7.99.

Good Luck.

There are some Worrall Thompson cutlery sets on Ebay.

Ah, chris - You are fab, you are! I will try them tomorrow and see what happens!

Pab - off now to check out the websites, fingers crossed.

iluvcatz - Thanks for the suggestion, will keep checking ebay but currently only has the other types not Dolce, which is the one I got ! Typical!

Thanks all, will keep you posted as to how I get on!
