Sad day if they can't turn it around
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......😬

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!
Seems to be every delivery has been stopped.

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Our Wilko has been replaced by B&M which is a similar style of shop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.
Not quite dead
