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.

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.

Yes, it's bizarre. Head for Points is getting almost 250 page views PER MINUTE from that article and we are not even directly linked. We are going to smash our all-time daily page views record by 6pm!

Got some CW casserole dishes Which will genuinely come in handy for meals during the week / batch cooking and some serving trays. Bargain procing - they should have charged more. Shame it’s not an eStore partner to get Avios!
I wonder if they’ll do more of this type of sale going forward!

There are still some First coasters, hot towel plates and charger plates plus half a dozen CW items in stock. Oh, and the WTP tea cups and the oven racks!
