    So instead of the "poor chap" new buisness, a novice, and all that, give him a chance. It seems to me he knows what he is doing/has done to everyone.

    A chancer, a make money fast bloke. After all he has posted on twitter about his lovely holiday in Jan hasnt he.

    To anyone defending this bloke, shame on you. I hope he gets whats owning to him, but people like this usually fall in a sewer and come up smelling of roses. In this case lets hope not.

    I will watch the Suffolk Hamper company with interest and should it pop up anywhere I will make sure I add links to this and the other pages. I have family in Suffolk and I dont want them to be conned. xx
    RIP TJ. You my be gone, but never forgotten. Always in our hearts xxx
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader.
    He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
  • Just rang the Norfolk depot to check & what a surprise..... They ave nothing for me!!!!
    So a email to Neil cancelling my order and trading standards form to be done now.....

    Hmmm......different director numbers, but same year of birth. Could this be the same person? Seems too much of a coincidence otherwise.......
    But can you have different director numbers for the same person?

    Yes, if you "accidentally" spell your name slightly differently or give a slightly different date of birth. Automated systems won't usually pick that up.
  • Hi everyone

    I have been reading this and following. I ordered 30 hampers to give to all my employees. I run a small business providing residential care to kids who have had real challneges in their lives. The job can be really hard and I absolutely appreciate the hard work and commitment my team give to me and the kids we care for.

    I ordered 30 hampers with most of them being delivered to individual addresses. Neil only called me a couple of weeks back to get the payment for all the extra deliveries. So not only have I paid for 30 hampers but also another £120 on top for delivery to individual houses.

    If I run my business like this then it would directly effect kids and their lives and futures, I guess what Neil is struggling to grasp is his business directly effects people and the spirit of giving at Christmas.

    I am wholeheartly disapooitned and only used NHC to support a small business as usually I use bigger places.

    I spoke with UK Mail and nothing is out for delivery for anyone from here.

    Who know what will happen next but I for one need to sort out a Christmas gift and thank you for all my people.

    Hope you all have a good Christmas and a bright start to 2013.
