Looking at HUKD all orders are being/have been cancelled.

Was worth a shot though

Yep, it was worth a try!


(my order was cancelled too).



Somebody probably noticed all the orders and thought "WTF?" ... I bet they had more orders in the space of that an hour or two than they've had all year!

One possibility of course is that it was just a publicity stunt.

What a great way to get your site's links going viral.

I spoke with a lady who called me to confirm my cancellation - she said that apparently some new staff in the IT Dept made some errors on the pricing file and managed to discount lots of tyres by too much. She implied that it had caused mayhem there, and told me that all monies would be refunded within 2 hours - personally I think it takes a day before the funds are released back by the bank or card provider to show as credit on your account etc
