EXPIRED Punky pins stocking

I don't know how many are left, but they are selling packs with £50 worth of stuff for £15. Some of the jewellry they have is really cute, all the stuff in the pack is current stock and they even have something personalised for you.

  • Reading the delivery details (and noting stocking includes a personalised item) this may not arrive in time for Xmas. Would make a fab teen birthday gift though!

    Any idea how much stuff you get? The blurb goes on about a stocking (which apparently doesn't exist!) being 'crammed' with stuff but looking at the original prices, I can't see you'd get more than 3 or 4 items.

    I'm writing this here as the deal expired and many people who grabbed this may not read it otherwise.

    Has anyone else received their orders? If so what do you think?

    I received mine today and whilst I love the items, there were only 6. I phoned the company and was told that the 3 little dove stickers that I received counts as one of the items. I am disappointed with this as this is not an item they sell on their website and the blurb selling the product claimed that all the items were current 2012 stock which this clearly is not.

    I have added all the items up (having checked the prices on the website) and they come to £49. Whilst I know that this is quibbling over a pound I think that their advertising is therefore false.

    Having spoken to the company they are classing the stickers as the seventh item and although it is not on their website for sale they are giving these 3 small stickers a value of £2 to therefore make my item over £50.

    They have offered to let me send the products back and refund me the £15 (even with the personalised item which the offer said they wouldn't do) but I would then be £2.50 down on the postage I paid for them to send it to me and I would have to pay probably the same again to get it back to them so I would have paid a fiver to have no items which I am obviously not going to do!

    Any thoughts anyone?

    I received mine today and it's rubbish. 6 items that don't total 'over £50' and my personalised item is really poor quality. I've emailed them about it.

    Did you also receive the stickers? This is what they are claiming to be the 7th item which brings it over 50 pounds.. What did you get if you don't mind me asking?

    Thank you,

    Had to go searching for the envelope to check invoice and found the stickers! Pretty misleading of them to class this as a 7th item!

    I got:
    Gingerbread man necklace
    London buses bracelet
    Skull ring
    Sausage dog earrings
    Zombie hand necklace
    Name item was an anchor tattoo necklace

    Really disappointing quality I thought and the only thing I like is the gingerbread man!

    They replied to say I could send it all back for credit but I wouldn't be buying anything else from them now anyway.
