    I agree with this a bit, however it was compounded by the blatant lies he told, and the way he kept insisting it was everyone else's fault, and the threats of police action. He even carried on with the threats when it was abundantly clear he had been caught out. This is why I believe he is stupid rather than just a bad businessman.

    I'm sorry but I feel sorry for the bloke, we all make mistakes and I really believe he never meant any of this to happen.
    He would have been able to cope if it had just been good offers on his website, but so many people like myself saw the deals on here and took up the offers. ( he just could not cope with the demand)
    I've not received any of my hampers but I've not let it ruin my Xmas, but I reckon his xmas has been ruined, the stress and pressure he has had.
    Sorry again if people think I'm wrong but I just feel sad about the whole situation.

    I would feel sorry for him if he hadn't ruined is many peoples Christmas leaving them without the goods they paid for and without heh money to buy more. He has been rude on twitter ignored emails kept people's money and now closed the buisness for several weeks. If he had been honest and refunded people's money ranger than make a half arsed attempt to send out badly packaged hampers with missing goods then more people would probably feel sorry for him
