    I've only just read this thread today and I agree with a lot of you that ordering 50 is very greedy ...

    But I have also noticed that she is asking for help from all the MSEers now as to what to do ... but never felt like sharing the code with us all in the first place!!!

    So she selfishly kept the code to herself and then selfishly expects us all to help her when she gets caught.

    Take take take !!!! Greed greed greed!!!
  • This was a loophole that took the company a long time to realise and close. I think the person involved did tip her friend off (see earlier posts) but if it had been broadcast here there would have been a sharp increase in orders and the plug would have been pulled much sooner. The person who did this probably WISHES she had posted this loophole, as it would have stopped her ordering over 50 bunches and ending up with this bill. I wouldn't have gone for the loophole and I think a lot of people would have steered clear, but equally a lot of people would have jumped in. Wonder what happened in the end with this ?

    For goodness sake, you lot are like a pack of hungry dogs pouncing on a piece of meat. I think the OP has got the message by now, and realises what she's done. For people to keep posting (more or less) the same things over and over is pretty OTT in my opinion.

    If anyone of you missed her post earlier on in the thead, here it is:
    I do realise I have done wrong but there really is no need for such a public battering, NO I did not sell them on! I wouldn't do that! I didn't see much harm in sending my friends and family a couple of bunches of flowers a week for four weeks.... Everyone is entitled to and Thanks for your opinion though

    I for one am interested to see how this ends, but I doubt she'll be back now :rolleyes:
    This space is available to rent... :D
  • If CarlaHostie does come back she would be delighted to read the thread about the poor value of valueflora in the other postings.......people asking for a refund of their £99 "£200 savings deal" (12 lots of £25 flowers) after deeming it poor value even after the £20 quidco rebate. If they do pursue this to the court (and I don't think they will in the absence of a credit agreement and with printed invoices for zero pence) then she can always use this in her defence.

    To Carla,
    what a selfish self centred woman you are. You came on this site expecting lots of sympathy and when it didnt appear you had a tantrum and flounced off full of moral indignation. Absolutely pathetic!!!

    lets hope she doesnt see the other good offer doing the rounds as she may order another 50 for her 'friends' and spoil it for us who are generous and unselfish and only order the one item....
  • WOW! I felt sorry for you Carla.........................not any more.

    what did she say?? It's been removed.
  • Here's what Carla removed, I found it in my cache:
    Am back from said trip! and have been catching up with this, I may have recieved another letter in which he stated he (the managing director) has been following the mse posts about this and takes this as an admission to my possible ordering of the said flowers, the letter may have also said that he is nowq going to write to the recepients to ask for the money, fortunately I have spoken to the recepients and they understand the situation and will NOT be paying for something they never ordered in the first place, The letter may have been signed Russell Hirst (aged 24 1/2) Russell, your terms and conditions are quite clear, I know lots of people who have grossly overused these codes and one in fact had flowers delivered only two weeks ago! If I recieve any other letters I will get my lawyer to contact valueflora as I think the said letters constitute harrassment... My lawyer has taken printouts of the valid terms and conditions, from the time the orders were placed. I have also had some useful mse users email me privately with advice. My advice: Take it on the chin, and leave well alone because this could cost alot more that a few bunches of flowers...Actually have been reading other peoples threads regarding quality?quantity etc of flowers from this company and I may actually contact watchdog about them instead....
