Mine have been despatched for delivery tomorrow. I don't think this is a misprice - else why would they (a) despatch orders and (b) 'restock' the online inventory.

They've been jumping between £5.25 and £75.99 all day - bit odd really..

Due to a banking error I had to update my details on amazon, I then ordered 3x cases thinking the old order was voided
I then got confirmation for the 2x cases I had updated my details against.

Just had two lots of confirmation that the 3x and 2x orders are being delivered Thursday. No more recycling old bottles :D

Mine have been despatched too. Thanks EB. Really wasn't expecting them to honour it. I guess it means no-one got will and ordered hundreds.

I'm sure we'll get *something* - The only 'concern' that still lingers is whether we'll get what it is we're expecting ;) I'm half expecting to receive one bottle per order for example. Looking elsewhere these bottles tend to be ~£3 + p&p. We'll see!

I got my confirmation too. Yippee! If it keeps flitting back to £5 I might chance my arm again a bit later with a few more ;)

They'll get sent straight back if it is one bottle, not to mention a pretty snotty negative feedback accompanying them!

My order clearly says "2 x 40 x bottles" Therefore, that is exactly what I'm expecting :D

BE QUICK.

They're showing at £5.25 again. I've just 'accidentally' ordered another 4 cases. If the wife asks I'll just tell her they must have made an error.

I'm not being greedy. I genuinely have that much beer to brew (another two kits added to what's already in my signature 'coming up' list!)

I suspect these four might not ship, but allegedly two already have.

No dumpster diving for bottles. Woohoo!

I'm slightly disappointed that I already have more bottles than I need!

Ditch, no, but they've sent me two invoices — one for £10.50 and one for £21. If they take out anything other, then I have all the evidence I need and will be on to Barclays like a shot.

Keep checking back. I've seen it go from £5.25 to £75 and back a few times tonight.
