It was only after numerous calls and no response that I realised that something must be wrong and have since learned of the closure.

In such cases, I need to know what my rights are in relation to having the above mentioned delivery arranged from one of the company's other branches.

Many thanks if anyone can shed any light on this issue.

Eh, this week in the local papers
