If they are the 'special' stencilled ones they might be collectable in years to come

I wonder how they will change the 'NHCO' into the next logo ...

Non-delivery Hamper Company?

Non-existent Hamper Company?

Still very upsetting that so many have not had refunds of any kind, and worth remembering that the refunds so far have come from PayPal and banks, with, as far as I can see, very little money coming directly from Neil/Neill

On that point, just how many actually got direct payments to their bank accounts, or cheque, that cleared of course? I got refund through PayPal to my bank, less £5 which had been from my PayPal account

Neil(l)'s Hoax Co?!

I agree 3Dogs - the banks and PayPal are not technically in the wrong here. It's the money grabbing cheats at NHCO that are the ones who have taken the money and ran. I'm so glad some people are getting their refunds, but I'd hazard a guess now that many many more haven't. And that is plain wrong :mad:

And I doubt if PayPal or the banks end up getting any of the money they end up refunding to customers back from Neil or his company, which is such a shame

As NHCo has now ceased trading, I think I might just sample some of the choccie from my mini Galaxy hamper. He ain't getting my 4 substandard hampers back now;)

I await the outcome of my paypal claim today. I wonder if the fact NHC are now bust will make a difference (although they weren't when I made my claim).

What time did other people hear a response from paypal? I am out £85 from 2nd deal and hamper membership plus 4 hampers from my first deal.

Now first of all I am very sorry for anyone who has lost money but I have been watching this thread for weeks. He has been very foolish but this all started with a ' great offer ' not to be missed ! Everyone jumped on the bandwagon with the idea that there was something for nothing. He couldn't resist the cash-flow but all of ou piling in are to blame as well. There is never lots for nothing ..... And there wasn't here either.

I feel a bit sorry for him. He got caught up in all the mse orders and never worked his cash-flow out .

Sorry for people who lost money but this great desire for a bargain is at the root of this.

Are you trolling? How on earth can you blame customers ordering for a company going bust? I didn't think I could find anyone stupider than Neill on here but it looks like I was wrong.

No I am not a troll. All I want to point out is that there Was a feeding frenzy about the great hamper offers. It is sad has gone so badly wrong but it was a perfectvstorm ! Stacks of people on here thinking they were getting something for nothing and a supplier blinded by orders without gettingnhis costs clear .

Every one to blame a bit I think !

Everybody here PAID - sadly, some paid and got nothing, which is very different from your statement.

The only person who is to blame is the greedy man who did not cancel the orders when he realised that he was unable to fulfill them.
