The "shopatron" systoem is "OK" IF a shop keeper has all day to sit online and wait for the orders to arrive and THEN hope they are "given" the order after 24 hours has passed (all shops "compete" for each individual order based on who has the most - all - of it in stock and shop location, then 24 hours later get "awarded" the "rights" to the order to fulfil it. Postage rates through Shoptron are quite a bit higher than direct through your favourite store and to be honest your order goes absolutley nowhere for at least 24 hours until it is "allocated" to a shop. In 24 hours, we - as indeed MOST other good UK mail order shops too - would expect to have shipped your order and it already be in your possesion let alone not even allocated to be sent out!!!) For these few reasons (high maintence, nore cost to the cusotmer and slower delivery service) we do not participate in the Shopatron system..... (as indeed do several other of the UK's leading stores neither)
