John Lewis have simply given up
Despite giving an assurance to get in touch with the order holder aka my wife, it never happened. I guess customer service only extends to when they take ones money. Not interested thereafter. No longer expect any response and will put down to not interested. The response was always going to be inadequate (after the event), and the delay has just added insult to injury.
