tl/dr I am looking for someone who knows if Webbs of Cannock have gone pop.

I ordered a gas hob 2 weeks ago from webbs.tv and I can't get hold of them to see if it is actually going to arrive or not.

They recently posted on the webpage (2nd Nov) saying that they are staying open and will be answering the phones etc but having rung them 40 times over the last two days, that doesn't ring true (bad I know).

The FB page was there yesterday, but has suddenly vanished and they don't appear to respond on phone, twitter or email.....

I was hoping that a local charitable member might be able to swing past the front door of the store whilst completing their daily exercise to see if my gut is right and they have ceased trading with my £549 in their coffers.

I can then begin the charge back thing and more importantly re-order the hob from somewhere else as it is going to block our kitchen build.

Not so Local (Wolverhampton) but know the area.

Just called them from our land line 01902 code so local-is, no answer.

Just asking a family member who lives close by who i think made a instore purchase not long ago to find out for you.

After repeatedly trying to call (over 40 times), I have now managed to get through to them and it looks like the courier tried to go the wrong address so I am now optimistic that it might all just work itself out....

so please don't go out of your way to check as it does seem legit once more and the FB page has now mysteriously re-appeared which I am not sure I can explain....)

Happy you sorted it,

Relative has come back and said it is open so all good, it was nothing out of his way as he lives that way and passes it on his daily run out to the shops.

It is my wife relative, she came from the area and knows of the shop and says it has been around for years and would be very very surprised if it went bump.

Happy to sort of help out
