Ralawise shut today at 2pm, and Absolute close tomorrow at 5pm.
Not a good situation.

and Pencarrie

MDP are still open as of today (Friday AM).
BTC website still says they are open.

I ordered from Ralawise on the 20th and the order was sent by DPD. DPD said they came on the 24th at 13.19 but didnt. I was standing in my door at this time with a customer so I know they didnt come. Now the order has been sent back and Ralawise are closed. Bloody frustrating, especially at this time when we need the work.
Not the fault of Ralawise by the way.

LISTAWOOD CLOSING TODAY 27th MARCH

Now Xpres have closed.
I am going to close myself now, no point taking orders and not being able to get stockon Monday.

Xpres staff only had 15mins notice before we all got the news apparently. Perhaps a decision earlier on in the week about closing Friday would help companies like us buy in bulk to keep us going longer. Sadly we rely on both customers and suppliers so we can hold on for the ride hoping we have enough of both in drips to keep company afloat. Good luck everyone. Last one turn the light off.

The cynic in me notes that they are all closing just after rent day and just before they have to make the end of months wages payments.
Bet they paid the quarters rent bill on the 25th...

All of these companies know oneanother, they would have had a group phone call and discussed closing at the same time. Yep PW66 I bet you are not far off with your post. I think also we have uncertainty coming in the next few weeks with parcel and post deliveries.

Yet none of them have put a message out on the forum other than Ink Experts, very disappointing.
