Maybe The Hobbit isn't in stock. My order has been 'partially shipped' with the Hobbit being the only thing not sent.

Why did you let me buy it if there's no stock, Kmart?

It's sold out nearly every where. Choose a store near where you live that has stock and do a click and collect

It said there was stock online. I've been checking stock levels and it wouldn't let me buy it until now because it was out of stock. Something must have changed on the backend of their website

What tends to happen, especially if it’s Kmart or big w is that they’ll say they have stock but as people buy them the stock levels don’t update.

It’s not until they go and allocate your items in person that they discover they have no stock left.

I’m pretty sure their systems aren’t live updated regularly enough.

Edit: also because they’re slow with click and collect.

I know I'll probably get a refund but I'd like to think someone at dispatch for Kmart is now going on a Jingle All The Way style quest to find me a copy of this book
