LOL, you know you are!!

I got sucked into reading this (why do I always do that??). I am sorry some of you did not get your parcels but it has happened to a lot of people this Xmas. I have had problems getting orders to my customers but I did keep my customers updated and have offered them all full refunds.

If you no longer want these orders then you need to cancel your orders and ask for a refund. Do this ASAP.

There is a whole merry go round of things that happen because of the snow. I could not get out to the Post Office as there are none near me so I would not have been able to send Special Delivery but chance the post box - maybe this company did the same. Sent the emails and then found that more snow had come and the PO was inaccessible, they would have gone normal post to ensure they arrived. Some employees would not have been able to get to work. If they had been out of materials they might not have been able to get supplies. And so the list goes on. It sounds like the company was out of it's depth and could not cope, the best you can do is write and ask for an apology and your money back if you want to cancel the order.

As for kids and christmas. My daughter (7) asked 'Santa' for one thing but it was something rubbish so I did not waste my money on it but told her that you can ask for something but Santa might not have been able to get them all made so he had sent something else special instead. My son (5) wanted scalextric - he did not get that either as he is too young. On Xmas morning they had forgotten about it because they have other presents and one marked from Santa. I never make any promise that Santa will being them what they want. Ever. It is all about teaching them values. If he had asked Santa for a real dog what would you have done then? Got one anyway because it was all he had asked for?

However, what you could do is when it arrives is to wrap it up and put it under the sofa or the like and then 'tidy up' in front of your son and 'find' the present which Rudolph must have kicked under the sofa on Xmas morning, or whatever excuse you want to use, but then he will have it to open.

And as for the chap who said he had only bought his girlfriend the one present and would have nothing to give her in exchange when she gave him his presents on Xmas morning.... really? Is this even true? You have £15 to spend on her and you bought her one £15 teddy...?? I cannot even for one minute believe that is true, sorry. If it is, well then give her an IOU and explain the situation as she doesn't believe in Santa and will no doubt be a bit more grown up about it and wait a few days longer. Show her the order confirmation if you have to and explain.

I think you need to get a grip personally. Sometimes things happen that are beyond our control, sure email the company and demand and apology or your money back but is it really worth getting that angry about?

So... back to getting your money back. Send an email with CANCEL ORDER and your order number in the title. Tell them as they have not delivered you are cancelling your order, send a letter a via Recorded Delivery (important!!) cancelling the order and give them 14 days to refund you everything else you will claim your money back via the small claims court. It costs £30 (if on benefits or a low income you may be exempt, details on the site how to do this) and you just file online, once you have applied online the company has to refund your court fees too, plus 8% interest. You can find all you need to know here: https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp

As far as I am concerned,what present someone buys,what it is valued at is none of your business.If people are not satisfied what the service they have the right to complain and write about it on the forum so others can be made aware.

what is wrong with a child asking santa to bring something they really want for christmas? it is the one time of the year they get to have something they want as santa gets it, not what the parent wants them to have. the KC was only £15 so not too much to make a child happy.

Just because I got my daughter( 6 year old) something so actually asked for does not mean she has no real values, she has been very good this year, with excellent school reports winning several awards for kindness to other children, helpfulness and becoming the years school council member.
so only fair she got what she wanted, she deserved it!

anthillmob - when and if we all receive ours, we shall be certainly studying the postmark for the date is was sent recorded delivery! We have had no snow for at least 10 days and we have had post since christmas, but no sign of the KC. Funny how i paid for it on 18th november and it has taken this long. Are they too snowed in to answer their emails as well?

All they had to do was email everyone once they knew they were not going to make it in time, and given everyone a chance to replace the gift with something else. But no, we were assured that we would receive them. What good is that at 5pm on christmas eve when nothing has arrived?

!!!!!! I AM NOT SALLY me the postmark people when you get them.

people on here know where i live.

And despite this evidence,some people will trot out the standard weather excuse.

This website is meant for people to let others become aware of potential scams.And that is what people are doing.I and the others have every right to bring it up in the forum if we feel we have been ripped off.Please do not try and dictate to others what they should or should not be doing.

The title of this board is "Praise,Vent and Warnings".That should be self-explainatory.
