What exactly does that mean? Gw often says "expected to despatch within 3 weeks" under certain products (The Sisters set,where I say it today).
I thought it meant the product is going off the site, but that doesn't really make sense.

To despatch = To send

Isn't is spelled dispatch? Or are the crazy Brits up to their old shenanigans

But yes Dispatch = send

spatching is digging a hole in the floor of your basement (as in "I've been spatching away at that bomb shelter for weeks now"), so despatching is filling a hole in your basement in. What the message on the website means is you have only a limited time to order before they throw the leftover materials into a hole in their basement.

Yeah, GW writes "despatching" with an e. That's why it was confusing.

According to wikipedia:

Despatch is an alternative spelling of dispatch used in British English.

So nothing to see here

I thought "despatching" meant taking something tha didn't belong to you because you didn't like to owner.

Like, "Hey. Watch me despatch this Shrike model because I don't like the way it's owner plays the game!"

That isn't it?

: )

Yes. In reality, despatch is just another way to spell dispatch. Leave it up to the English to get the spellings wrong in their own language!
