Mum Lost £200
Sister £200
Sis-in-law £300
C0usin £800
Agent with other customers Total £3900
Last payment was last week and it completed the order!
Was always payed in direct to bank, so can't claim back of CC.
Gob-smacked!But first, the most asked question:
Q "Is anything worn under your kilt???"
A "No. Everything is in perfect working order Thank You!!."0 -
I have never understood the attraction of these hamper companies. Wouldn't it be better to pay some money every week or month into a savings account and then use the money to buy your Christmas stuff. It must work out better value because some of your money in the hamper schemes has to pay for such things as agent's commission. Also I have found that the hamper invariably contains a few items which you don't want and so that's another waste of money.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

I feel sick paid final payment of £1000 pounds to freedom2shop last week have just telephoned to be told by recorded message that no refund and no
vouchers will be sent. I spoke to them last week regarding my order for over £3500 and like many of you I am going to have to contact family and close friends to tell them that they won't be getting anything. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they have robbed they're friends and family.0 -

I understand how your feeling, (although i am not in it) but all my family are and i feel especially sorry for the agents who have to break the news!
There agent (a family friend) has about the same amount as you.But first, the most asked question:

best bet is to phone them/agent and ask instead of worryingBut first, the most asked question:
