Yes
I've just been on the Ilford site to look at prices but there are none and it directs me to local stockists , this doesn't seem to work, It maybe a combination of me Using Linux and various anti track and privacy software.

O.k forget I asked this ! I've turned everything off one at a time and it's the fact I'm using a VPN, I'm guessing their site will not work without a location ! Althought it does ask you to put a location in !

Oddly a few products can be orederd for delivery, while most point to a local retailer, very odd.
 
Is there a UK site address for Ilford Photo as now I cannot order any film across 3 browsers with no VPN and no privacy settings ?
 
Thanks for the link, Peter. I clicked to check it worked on my tablet, and found on the opening page that the "In Focus" interview was someone I knew. Small world (but large format :)).

Have to choose and add item to your basket to get to checkout that replaces local retailer link
 
Unfortunately it doesn't give me an option to add to basket, I did get the find local retailer link and put in 250 mile radius and it says there are none ( now I do live out in the sticks but not that far !) I even tried as I had to go to the doctors using a mobile network ( mobile network from here is very poor and you get nothing if it's raining or foggy) and it still does the same thing different operating system entirely to my main one. I think I'll unfortunately have to go with Formapan from eBay for my cheap film.
 
You need to pick the number of exposures and the quantity, then the option to add to your basket appears.
 
It doesn't allow me to even do that, I can only think that it Doesn't like my operating systems both Linux as I have tried everything else.
 
I think it doesn't allow you to add to the basket on items not in stock... Ortho 80 won't add to the basket but Delta 100 will. I bought both from the site last week though..
 
I have brought from them in the past without issue, but their site has changed since last time I used it, I managed to get my daughter using Windows and some distance away to get the site to work and would you believe it ! What I wanted was out of stock anyway, I had intended to buy multiple film stocks but for ease of my daughter I stuck with just one . It allows me to view the film specs but gives me no prices and says something like find local stockists, it then say there aren't any even though I've put 250mile radius. It doesn't even get this far some times. I'll have a good look around the net and find some other film stocks.
 
I understand what you are saying but I have tried without a VPN and all the anti track/finger printing/privacy software off I have even tried from another network with different device and still get the same. I have even checked my IP location which is always Birmingham when the VPN is off. It's not a major worry as there are of course other sources of film and at this point Ilford don't have the cheaper film available which would have formed most of my order
 
The site shows 36 exposure HP5 as £7.58 plus postage. I checked our local Boots the other day and it was in stock at £7.99, so I bought 2 for nothing (Boots points)!
