Smashed Grapes - Its all over

I was here at Christmas when 100s of us bought cheese and wine boxes from 'smashed grapes'. Just felt obligated to say that according to gov.co.uk the company has been Dissolved so I think sadly some of us will be left out of pocket!

Shame their way of dealing with this was to turn off comments on social media and stop replying..and shut down the website

Again- just felt like sharing this as literally over Christmas time I know alot of people here spent a significant amount of money with them

Can you not claim it back if you paid with a visa card? It's horrible losing money like this, I hope people can get reimbursed.

Hopefully you will be able to claim it back from your credit card company or papyal

I paid with my debit card, so we shall see. I hope others see this and make a claim with their bank

I wondered why I couldn’t get my gift vouchers to work a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately the transaction is too small for credit protection I think.

Ithink they dissolved in 2021 but then crowd funded so the company we bought from is slightly different from the one on companies house, but i may be wrong. I looked before Christmas and that was the info on there for smashed grapes LTD. Then in FB it looks like they crowd funded after that. I will stand to be corrected though!

My payment went to The Good for Group Ltd which are still trading, with the same directors as Smashed Grapes Ltd, so looks like you're right.

I received a new letter Thursday about their Mother's Day offers and the website was fine. It is still there.
