    I was asked for my email address by digbyjuices and received the following email:

    Hi,

    Firstly let me apologise. As little as that might mean to you I would like to say it anyway.

    We have a couple of people here that man the twitter and Facebook pages. It goes without saying that the individual who carried out the dull minded and frankly pathetic action this afternoon has been asked to refrain from using the feeds in the future.

    I personally am upset that it was done and as soon as I saw all this was tearing my hair out.

    If you could please give me your partners name or order number I will ensure that a rather large vapemail heads his way. Its the least we can do to try and mend what has been done.

    Yours Sincerely


    which was a very nice email I thought :)

    I'd grudgingly accept the apology and freebie but I'd never ever use the company again..

    Total idiot whoever updates their twitter feed to do what they did!
  • At least hes tried to make it up to you - even though its glaringly obvious that it was him and his attitude on twitter earlier - nobody else!! :rotfl:The man sells 5 products.... that's it!!! As if hes going to employ staff to work on his social networking - and why would a basic employee be bothered about who enters the comp!!! He had a bee in his bonnet - its quite pathetic he cant just man up and apologise for being out of line instead of blaming rogue employees!!! hahaha!
    Well at least you getting some freebies Becca.... seeing as you sat in your council house being a loser... I think its the least you deserve!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:;)

    Why do people think comping results in 'freebies'? It's a transaction, whereby you promote their business, give them your contact details, answer a survey etc in exchange for the small chance to win something.

    Nice email from the company - goes to show that some people do do the decent thing sometimes... Well done to the company - even if it was him that wrote the Twitter message. :rotfl:

    I usually agree with your posts but I think this is harsh:o

    He is possibly bigging it up talking about his staff but maybe that translates as gave his son/nephew/whatever a clip round the ear (joke:eek:)

    He has tried to make amends and the OP seems happy - only he would have seemed a better person if he had apologised publicly but at least he tried.

    As someone else said, the people who hold these comps seem to believe they are doing it out of the goodness of their heart and wicked compers are waiting to pounce - there are those out there who have realised, after there entries/likes/shares have plummeted and sharp remarks appear on public fora about their PR skills, that what they are actually doing is touting for business and they often offer very little in return. Who were the w****s again? :cool:

    Just to add and run away quickly - I know nothing about the subject and thought you were all being very open about smoking a certain substance...:eek::rotfl::eek:

    My Partner got double the amount of e-liquids he ordered. Which I thought was good (4 extra e-liquids) More than what the comp was worth! So can't complain really!!
