    If you are happy with the price,quality and delivery you have had from this company why dont you post pictures of the hampers and let people have more information [ price, quality and confirm that they were delivered on time] as this would help a lot of other people to put there minds at rest.
    awaiting pictures.


    I'm sure there will be plenty of photos up soon!:D
    Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

    I hope that they drop the sweet hampers back to £30 next year after the chrimbo rush as wanted some of these for my future monthly hamper deliveries as a part of the deal. There doesn't seem to be as many sweet choices on the pick your own menu (none of the retro sweets) so will be a bit gutted if I missed out on these ones.


    I think you can still order them, you will just get less than stated i the £40 one.
    DEC GC £463.67/£450
    EF- £110/COLOR]/£1000
  • I did not feel the need to take photos when the previous 6 arrived as I was happy with them.

    They have been wrapped and are ready for the recipients to receive at christmas.

    In two instances (chocolates) the contents were sent as part another gift and the hampers were used to hold different gifts than they originally came with.

    Also as far as pictures go the pictures on the website were pretty much as I received the goods

    So I am confident that tomorrow I will receive the same quality and standard that I have already had.

    I think in this way:-
    I get the best value I can for things that I need e.g food but I am happy to pay a reasonable price for quality
    If I am giving a gift e.g a bunch of flowers then I will try to get the best value but will buy the gift anyway-
    Flowers retail £15 - probable value £5 - appreciation of the recipient priceless - me happy
    Flowers reduced in tesco to £3.75 - probable value £5 appreciation priceless - me even happier and will probably a 2nd bunch of reduced flowers to go with it

    Those of us who have taken the hamper deals will have received significant reductions on retail value but paid more than the supplier cost value - the potential appreciation from the recipients will potentially be priceless

    I spoke to Neil yesterday and he said my hampers will be sent out around the 6th December i have ordered others as well as the 12 + 12 deal, and also if you wanted to change the 12+12 deal to email at the beginning of the month and they will be sent out last week of the month, so January's hampers will be sent out end of January, February's end of February etc.

    If you read the last paragraph on Tescocrazy post she states she is happy with the price, quality and delivery of the hampers,how can she say that then if she has not received any?

    Ahh right. I stand corrected. I thought we were talking about the present offer of getting 12 or 24 hampers of which she is hoping to receive today . :o
  • It is really important in life not to make assumptions

    I did not assume that my previous hampers would be good or bad and was pleased with the product provided.
    I can presume from the previous deliveries that my order tomorrow should be OK

    I did not assume that the offer was too good to be true, I have on occasions gone for silly misprice offers on here with the presumption that orders would be cancelled and they have.

    Some of us obviously assume more than others - by the way I am male not female as someone has assumed
