Adams - an anti-grabbit quick almost

Farepak were still "accepting" money on the DAY they went bust.

The refurb shops etc mean nothing as the parent company can still be in trouble.We had a sony centre store in a mall near where i live.It was completley refurbished and 2 weeks later was in recievership ( as these stores were franchised) but other sony centres all carried on as befoire.

I ordered mine on the 8th this month and mine is still being shown as "picking". Most of what I ordered is out of stock or no longer on the website. What are the dates of peoples orders who have just had them dispatched??

Hi - mine too was ordered on the 8th and I did receive the same email about them sorting orders over the weekend and my order still says ''picking'' - hopefully tomorrow it will say something different!!!

hi

i went into the milton keynes store on sat and not everything was reduced, some of the baby items were not reduced and some of the clothing, and non clothing items, i dont often buy from adams but sometimes they do a nice range of the character clothing like fifi and dora, cars and doctor who, which next etc dont have. they also have some nice girls pj's. the website still has the school clothing and that has not been reduced. so hopefully i am just paniking a little, shall try phoning tomorrow, but i think it will be hard to get through as i am sure there will be many others.

Adams in Southend is closing down. I was in Saturday and they had big posters covering the windows. The staff were going through things deciding on the prices as they went although the reductions did not seem as good as buying on line but at least you get the goods straight away.

I think the one in Durham might be closing too...it's not had a lot of stock in for a few weeks now. I saw a shirt in there that I liked for ds in nov but they didn't have his size so I've been checking back for a few weeks now and the stock levels have dropped a lot over the last few weeks. They had big posters all over the windows but tbh I didn't take any notice of what they said.

Like I said - they close non-profitable shops and open new ones elsewhere.

Carlisle's shop closed 18 months ago and that was in a busy, modern shopping centre.

There are LOTS of shops starting sales early this year, just like there have been over previous years.

If you are worried about shops closing down because they aren't doing well in the High Street, stop buying ONLINE!!!

do you have to order specific nectar adams vouchers or can they swipe the nectar card yet? Have quite a lot of points (and children )

You were able to swipe your nectar card instore for a while but they pulled it about a month ago due to a catalogue of errors - i did well out of the errors. I spend £25 in store with points but they didnt leave the card so spent them again(nectar helpline told mne to!) they didnt come off the second time eithr. Finally did the third time.

Just phoned them and they told me they would call me back. Will wait and see then I guess!!

I can't believe how worried people are getting over some hearsay from an anonymous source.

I got an email today saying my goods had been dispatched but I wasnt at all concerned prior to that as they hadnt even taken any payment.

I'm sure everyone will get their goods...no point worrying over a bit of gossip really.;)
