    It may just be regular maintenace. As far as Park are concerned, 2006 is virtually over bar a few despatches, and they're getting ready for 2007.

    I seem to recall around this time last year their site had a few 'iffy' days - not completely down as now, but very erratic - while they loaded the new catalogue

  • I've just phoned my friend who works at Park in Birkenhead and she says everythink is ok there, except their web site has been down for two days now and their IT guys are having problems fixing it !! The phones have been red hot too with people ringing up about Farepak which is of course nothing to do with them. Hope this helps a bit !

    As a victim of Farepak, I and thousands of others, wether victims or not, will be dubious about any hamper company, as it is quite obvious that NONE of them have an insurance policy to cover customers losses.

    I will stick to the good old fashioned, tried and tested, bank account. Far less likely to go bust, and completely insured BY LAW to all their customers. ;)
