    My hubby's just spoken with Norfolk Radio and they're aware of the situation, they're going to give us a call back later today.

    The number is 01603 284793 if anyone else would like to give them a bell.

    I would mention the new trading name to warn others.

    I found this registered to an address in Bury St. Edmunds.
    I didn't place an order with NHC but......
    Can everyone stop with the "I was right" attitude. Just hate seeing anyone ripped off :(

    Just because you are having a bad day, there is no need to be rude.

    I didn't take your money, neither was I stupid enough to fall for a offer that was obviously too good to be true.

    I don't think its helpful to infer people who signed up to the deal were "stupid" to fall for it - I recieved the majority of my hampers luckily as I pushed for them early with only 2 x 2 missing for Jan and Feb which I now won't get so I do count myself lucky even though I have missed those last 4 hampers, but I started this whole sorry thread originally and at outset Neil was a) very helpful b) appeared to be centered on building a good business up offering cheap deals to entice people initially and c) like he was just working hard to get established - obviously that's all gone by the way side now and I feel terrible that people, lots of people, have lost lots of money, but its not helpful to hurl insults at each other on here......

    Radio Norfolk has just called back. My conversation's been recorded so if you hear someone having a bit of a rant that could be me! :D

    Get over yourself.

    no intention of being rude honestly. I feel for the people who have not received anything. I was just trying to say that TS despite what people think will just wash their hands of it. I don't think enough was done in the first instance tbh

    for the record I didn't lose money either! Simply trying to point out that there are only 3 options available to people now
    24 beers in a case - 24 hours in a day. Coincidence? :beer:

    My own feeling with the Suffolk Hampers website is that he set that up in readiness for his supposed expansion plans where he said he was opening two new shops this year, one in Holt in Norfolk and the other in Southwold in Suffolk. Obviously the expansion won't happen now, but it's still worth keeping an eye on the site. He also set a new Twitter account up, but hasn't posted on it since 3rd January. @NorfolkHamperCo
