Zavvi stops taking orders after Woolworths collapse
Published Date:

High-street retailer Zavvi has stopped taking orders for DVD, music and games after the collapse of Woolworths left it unable to guarantee delivery.
The retailer, with a store in Northampton's Grosvenor Centre, said it also planned to cancel all existing customer orders where stock could not be guaranteed.
The company said most of its DVDs, music and games products are supplied by Woolworths' Entertainment UK arm, which fell into administration last week.
The company said: "We have not taken this decision lightly, but we believe that this is the right course of action under the circumstances."
Books, calendars and a limited range of other products are not affected by the cancellation and customers can still buy stock in-store, including the shop in Princess Walk, Grosvenor Centre.
Zavvi said all affected customers would receive email confirmation in the next few days and any that have already paid for their orders would be refunded.
Woolworths' stores are still trading while buyers are sought for some or all of the business.
