To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.
Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Hi, I hope everyone's happy and healthy in your bubbles.

I just wanted to let people know that the Wellington Water egg-timers that you can stick to shower walls to time your shower and help you reduce water usage, have glass vials inside them with the sand. Mine fell off the wall this morning and smashed. I can't tell you what to do, but I'm throwing mine out - it's broken anyway ;-)
