Their website is down and the web company told me that the store is going into liquidation and they will post something on the web in a few weeks telling outstanding customers what they need to do.

I am devasted since this kilt is for our wedding and I do not know if we have time to order another kilt in time. I thin it is such bad business ethics not to even notify customers before pulling the website down. I have an order of over 600 pounds that I'm still waiting for.
Are you sure the place has folded? I passed it last week and it still seemed to be open for business then. 4 months is too long to wait for a kilt though, most makers quote 8 weeks so you are right to be concerned. If you paid by credit card they should cover any loss but it doesn't help you with the outfit.
