A Bag & A Half Full - Just Pay Postage

Hi there, new to MSE, been browsing on the forum for a few months now but never posted.

Came across this site while looking for Christmas Stocking fillers. They run all year round so are perfect for any little goodies, but are probably busiest at Christmas time.

Not sure how long they have been open now, but was searching around and came across them.

I ordered a pack early last week and got it on Friday - Very good value for the £4.00 I must say, will be using again for "little gifts"

The appear to be part of "I Want It Now" not used any of the other sites so can't really say how good they are on the other sites.

Link is - wantitnow.eu/bag

Thanks :)

    That has to be one of the dodgiest sales sites I've ever seen! No contact details, no address details, simple wordpress-style webpage, simple checkout system... all their webpages are titled 'Home'.

    Has anyone checked they are part of I Want It Now? I know it's only £4 but that's got to be the easiest way to scam a lot of people for a lot of money...

  • The certainly seem genuine & how else would they have a doain which is the I Want It Now Network, also came with an I want it now network bussiness card in it.

    In my daughters I got -
    Mood Necklace
    Pack of Fairy Stickers
    Pot Of Bubbles (Gazillion Brand)
    High School Musical Pen
    Christmas Flashing Mobile Phone Hat
    Pack of Haribo
    A few other bits (Can't remember what now as now packed away for stocking so dont want to go into cupboard to find it)

    Also a friend recieved theirs that they ordered, so seems genuine.

    site was only registered on the 23rd November this year

    seems to be associated with some sort of food clearance store

    lack of proper contact details and data protection registration would stop me supplying any personal details to the site....

    Emailed "I Want It Now" about 5 mins ago to just check the site was part of the company.

    They seem genuine, but thought I would check, the actual site also offer a Santa Letter site, which I ordered from, got that aswell, so they seem genuine.

    Has anyone ordered from them recently? If so did you receive?

    Without searching around (just a quick check on one site), I can pick up a 2 year domain registration for a little under £6. I could have either "wantitnow" (as is the domain of this site) or "iwantitnow". Business cards can be had for pennies all over the net.

    Also, none of their domain info has anything in common/has any links with, iwantitnow's domain or hosts. This website is hosted in the UK but it's .eu ending gives the impression that it's in Europe.

    I simply think that the site looks amatuerish and not quite 'right'.

    If anyone has ordered, good luck!

    Edit... food clearance? Hmmm... and they give away free candy and chocolate too? I wondered if there's a link? ;)

    I ordered and received, but would be interested to know if when other people ordered, if they also received? Or if they have just ordered if they do receive.

    EDIT -

    Just got an email reply. Heres what it said -


    Hello,

    We can confirm that Bag & A Half is part of our site, however is undergoing some current updates so may explain the parts of the site being untidy. We hope to have the site completed up for Tuesday 15th December This is also a new site to us, hence why it is not on the main site as our current main site is also being re-designed ready for the new year, with a tidy and upbeat design.

    We are accessible either via this email (contact@wantitnow.eu) or via our Skype address (iwantitnownetwork) this probably being our quickest way if you do have any questions, we are available until 10pm most nights.

    If you do have any other questions you wish to contact us with, please do not hesitate to do so, we are always willing to help.

    Thanks once again & Merry Christmas,

    I Want It Now Network
