Delivery delays delays delays

<p>It is sad that a company that advertises so extensively and aggressively is not able to keep up with and deliver on their promises. My initial order was cancelled due to no stock being available from the supplier. I had to then pay in an additional amount to get another order. Yet at the time of placing the order on the website there was no indication that there was no stock. This doesn't seem very professional that your company doesn't have an open channel of communication with your suppliers to update your site when no stock is available. It is only after 4 days that i was told there was no stock. This is very poor for an online company in 2016 to be operating with such a system. I am sure that whoever is reading this email will be equally frustrated if they were in my position. After all it is a kettle that i ordered. I deem this as a household necessity and due to your company's lack of service delivery i was forced to go to a local retailer and purchase a kettle to use in the interim. This once again, an additional cost to me. If you are unable to keep up with the volume of orders placed then you guys need to seriously reconsider your business partners i.r.o suppliers and delivery services as this forms an integral part of the success of an online store. </p>
