Snowed Under!

Looks like snow Jackets
will remain in great demand
even after Christmas!

Due to the recent heavy snowfall, delivery services have pretty much ground to a halt here in Wiltshire, so we are finding it very difficult to get any more orders out before Christmas!

We aim to keep you updated on the situation - currently we are being told by our couriers that they have a huge backlog to get through, and are unable to guarantee the delivery of any further orders before the 25th.
We are still taking orders as normal through the website and over the phone, and expect things to return to normal after the New Year.

Seasons Greetings,

The Team @ Haxnicks
