  • Don't worry,

    Both farepak and family hampers have links on their websites to deal with this, I had £160.00 so nearly had heart failure when heard about this the other day but now already sent mine of recorded delivery to be replaced,

    A report in the Times said to take them back to where you bought them from and they`ll replace them.

    Hi sara, they haven't as yet got a replacement but we've been told that they are putting together a new voucher (not choice) which will have lots of different stores on again, who did you buy your vouchers from?

    sell it on online auction sites? you arent scamming them... someone might want it for a antique or as a memorabilia and you are not obliged to say on the description the company is no-longet there and the vouchers are no-longer valid... its upto the buyer to do their research


    I am shocked by this post and I feel that the majority of people who check out this site are far more honest than this. I also have bought from ebay and would be horrified to think I was buying £100 ( for example) of vouchers to use as memorabilia!!

    I know you have a high thankyou count, but you don't seem very honest to me!!! :mad:

  • Has anyone else had any luck with stores accepting choice vouchers ? We were sent some as a gift but now we dont know what to do with them ?
  • I got some of these for doing surveys, i was saving up to spend! so who is accepting them and who is not please, i dont want to be embarrassed at the store.
    TIA
