Deeply sad. I love Wilco’s, and hope they find a buyer.
Interestingly I was placing an online order today and happened to notice the green metal arches I use to make net supports are no longer restricted to buying two at a time, so alongside my usual cat food delivery I might have added a few into my basket……😬

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Update…this isn’t looking good, I was supposed to be getting my order delivered tomorrow but haven’t had a n order despatched email yet. I looked on my account and they have cancelled my whole order, no communication from them telling me that. There Customer Service phone  lines are ‘temporarily closed due to a technical issue’  so have emailed to ask what is going on….luckily I paid by PayPal so can try and open a case for a refund if the worst happens!

What a shame. And I haven’t got my refund, PayPal agreed it but it has ‘ failed’ …guessing I’ll never see that again by the sounds of it…. 🙄😬.

Our Wilko has been replaced by B&M which is a similar style of shop
but without the emphasis on gardening that Wilko had.
