    Have done some digging not sure if anyone has posted this but hisname is Neil Alvey and he may have had previous companies but I can't be sure. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can go more digging

    According to Co house the co was only incorporated in July this year - so its either massive inexperience - or he's traded under a different name before.

    He has a profile on LinkedIn, I'd like to post it on here but I'm worried that "action may be taken against me" lol

    Sorry didn't realise that.
  • I've we were to submit small claims court thingy would it be to the company who may have no funds or to Neil
  • In fairness he did actually send out at 8 jars of jam produced in Norfolk which it turns out has a fairly hefty price tag of £4.25 per jar direct from the manufacturer admittedly there should of been 12 jars & they should of been supplied in hampers not trays but it was actually produce of Norfolk as described on the site unlike the thousands of other hampers he sent out which contained primarily mass produced goods from Leicestershire.

    None of my hampers have any Norfolk Produce in and no preserves like yours (that look lovely!) in mine. All are the same as on the blueberry website/amazon etc

    80 now! Wow!
  • Not sure what I'm doing so hope this appears as it should.

    I'm always reading this forum but don't usually post.

    I am also still waiting for hampers. Ordered on 23rd November - 12 hampers + an extra 12 for another £20. Also ordered a box of diabetic chocolates for my husbands Grandparents for Christmas.

    I had requested for 6 hampers (2 Xmas, 1 cheese, 1 pop, 1 retro) to be delivered this month and stated in an e-mail to Neil that they would be Christmas presents - he had replied that this was no problem.

    So I am short of 6 presents which I will have to buy tomorrow.

    Thought I'd try posting and register as another customer waiting.
