We Bother has gone bust!

AIBU to be gutted that this shopping website has ceased trading out of the blue? I loved it. Discounts, free next day delivery and the option to use PayPal in 3. Anyone else fed up??

Oh! I only had an order from them last week - what a surprise

ShandaLear · 10/06/2023 13:36

Never heard of it.

inappropriateraspberry · 10/06/2023 13:40

Was that the grocery delivery thing?

deathbyhayfever · 10/06/2023 13:42

never heard of them either, what did they sell?

Discounts and free delivery is probably why they've gone bust...

listsandbudgets · 10/06/2023 13:46

are they the ones that did your grocery shopping and popped to other shops and services so you didn't have to? e.g launderette, supermarket etc.

Yes, I think so, too. I thought it was going to get bigger and bigger 😢

If most people never heard of it, no wonder it went bust

Yes. Not fresh food though. Saved me so much trouble parking, shopping and carrying. It’s back to B&M for me lol 😆

it's hardly made the news, I had to google until I found an article about the start up.

Most people haven't heard of it... like it or not.

It hardly made waves when it started, (I'd never heard of it), it's hardly surprising it went with a whimper instead of a bang...

Slobberchops1 · 10/06/2023 17:31

Never heard of it

MinnieEgg · 10/06/2023 17:33

I've ever heard of it either.

I just googled it though and I'm guessing it's the company called 'Bother' and not 'We Bother' like you said in the OP.

NewNovember · 10/06/2023 17:38

Don't know who they were.

Stichintime · 10/06/2023 17:40

I used them once when I got a first time user discount. Suspect many others did the same.

Never heard of them. Is someone going to tell us what they sold?

This. The company is called Bother not We Bother.

drpet49 · 10/06/2023 17:44

They sold food (not fresh) and household items. Prices were competitive.
