Link thanks to florens, so others don't have to search the whole (now lengthy) thread.

Due to exposure on the BBC it looks like the company was swamped with a deluge of orders far greater than they expected, so some deliveries are taking a while to ship.
Many people have received their deliveries, so it looks like if you have a confirmation email for your purchase it should eventually be fulfilled.
On 1st Dec 2020 Whatabuy sent an email to all customers to say
Please be assured that if you received a 'confirmation of order' screen at the end of your transaction, we have a record of your purchase and are working on processing this, even if you did not receive a confirmation email.
On 9th Dec 2020 Whatabuy sent an email to customers to say
Please be assured that we are doing our upmost to fulfil all orders as quickly as possible, with all orders placed between the 23rd and 27th of November due to be shipped by Monday 14th December and all orders placed between the 28th November and 7th December due to be shipped by Monday 21st December.

I should spend less time on this forum, people keep posting links like this and I keep spending money on bits of planes!
I bought a seatbelt and no smoking sign from G-ZZZC and now I have a bit of the skin arriving in the post from the same plane. What next?! (Yes I did just buy 12 plates too...)

at my bolding.On what is a rather gloomy day weather wise and being I'm stuck in the house, your post above really did make me laugh and one of many reasons why I still enjoy the BA board in particular. So thanks for that wilsnunn and keep posting!!
Back on topic, I'm not buying anything but some of the stuff looks great.

eekk.. I jumped into this too, got the side plates, the smaller dining plate 24cm, bowl and the mugs. Sending them to family in the UK before collecting them when things improve in the UK. Pricing seems reasonable for this fine china and I like the design. Hope bring it back to NL would not be too messy - need to think of the best way to bring them back without them becoming bits and pieces 
Cheers!
Cheers!

I bought some F plates, bowls, pasta bowls and mugs around an hour and a half ago. Payment went through fine and got a confirmation.
Hope it comes back for those that are yet to order.

Maybe this BBC article caused it (British Airways sells off bowls to bedding as it shifts surplus stock): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55043907
