Take heart - it is possible to get a refund. I ordered a suite in March (paid by credit card) only to be told in July that they couldn't guarantee me a delivery date because of problems with supplier. I cancelled the order on 6th July - told refund would take 14 days (it didn't of course). I chased and threatened on a regular basis - finally referring case to credit card dispute team on basis that I would claim against them undeer S75 CCA. I advised ELS of this and gave them a deadline and said that if refund wasn't made by today I would start legal action and would be claiming legal fees and damages on top of refund. Success - full refund was paid yesterday! I suspect that the company is still solvent but opperates a deliberate delaying tactic to help cashflow. Found an identical suite in Toons Castle Gresley for about the same price as ELS's discounted price.
