    Time will tell.This deal IS to good to be true and you havent got a clue . Anyway i am out on this one and wont waste anymore time on it.Some people will never learn.

    If you weren't going to waste any more time on this then why are you still posting on this thread? You haven't ordered any hampers but seem to be enjoying the fact that not everyone is happy.

    Am i the only one not worried about her hampers? THis company has clearly bitten off more than they can chew but i'm confidient they will arrive and be lovely even if there not completely as discribed they will have similar value (a few of mine i've asked for random bits that he can make up as he goes along.) As far as i'm concerned people are receiving and mine aren't even expected yet.

    Candy i hope when everyones hampers do arrive you will admit you were wrong and delete your older posts, mse is a very popular website, if you typed in The norfork hamper this is the 3rd like so will be vied by many when looking for info on the company it would be a shame if when they clicked threw to this they saw injustified negative feedback from someone who hasn't even purchased a deal.

    Thats how ive looked at this from they theve bitten off more then they can chew angle im a tad concerened as would anyone be reading some posts on here, but its quiet clear theve just tried to do more then in-some case's they had too - like ive said ive NEVER had a problem with them before all orders ive put in have been on time and exactly what ive ordered and so well presented
    im sure Neil will learn from this but i hope it don't mean we loose out on some wonderful deals - maybe he should just limit those deals and everyones a winner x

    I'm not worried either. They will be extra gifts for friends and family whom I am sure will appreciate the kind gesture. I am having some sent directly to relatives and think it is a great deal considering the cost of postage nowadays.
    I am looking forward to getting the hampers throughout the year when I feel things may be a little more organised.
    Like everyone else I hope they arrive soon as I am excited to see them

    Everyone is happy are you sure.May i suggest you read all the posts on this thread before making such a sweeping comment.


    If you look back to what was said it was "seem to be enjoying the fact that not everyone is happy." Not that everyone is happy but the fact you seem to be enjoying the fact that not everyone is happy.

    Yes you are entitled to your opinions but perhaps stop trying to scaremonger and worry people that have already purchased and put off potential customers for the company if in fact what you say does happen then you can bask all you like in the fact that you are right.

    I personally think you are wrong and that it will be fine just that some of the orders have perhaps been rushed out but if they have good customer service they will make sure any unhappy customers are refunded or given what was missing or asked what will make them happy to resolve it.

    I also believe that people deserve a chance and shouldn't be penalised or made to feel criminalised for doing something that's not even happened yet.

    My 6 hampers arrived a few minutes ago :D

    They're great - I'm really pleased with them and they're excellent value for the price I paid. I like the hampers that the Galaxy ones are in - are the straps leather? They're lovely quality baskets.

    I think the little jam and lemon curd pots are really cute and they're a nice size for the great-grandmother we are giving them to, as she won't feel guilty about not using a whole jar within the time limit.

    The 'just add cheese' baskets are really lovely. My chutney is 'mixed fruit' which sounds yummy. I will feed back to Neill that the cellophane on one was torn so he can bear it in kind when packing future orders. Putting wicker hampers on top of it seems to be what's caused the tears.

    So, in case anyone is reading the posts here and deciding whether to order or not this is now TEN hampers I've had and I have been very happy with all of them. I have ordered again (the 6-month offer that ended on the 5th).

    I'm a satisfied customer :D

    First of all i am not being rude to you,but you seem to think its ok to be rude to me.Why dont you take the time to comment on the posts of people who are not happy with there hampers?[/QUOTE]

    I haven't been rude to you at all. What do you want me to say to the people that aren't happy with their hampers? I don't work for the company, so there's little I can do. I am sincerely sorry that some people aren't happy but all of your posts are negative about the company.

    I've got 24 hampers being delivered over the next 12 months that I have paid £92.99 for...which is less that £4 per each hamper.
    I have ordered them to bring a smile to In-laws and Dad's face each month,I am realistic of their cost so I know I will not be disappointed, I really do not mind if there are substitute products or items are smaller.
    If necessary I will have future ones delivered to myself instead and add some goodies to bump them up a bit before I give them out
    .
    I look forward to getting the call to say they have been received and then I look forward to calling Neil & Co to say 'Thank you'
    Have lots more ‘Pending’
    But total money I’ve received from Cashback Sites by performing 'Daily Clicks' is ;
    APRIL 2007 - JAN 2008 = £2,800:money:
