Thought I'd start a thread over here as to not overrun the bargain thread.

I have ordered two. One being diabetic, I will admit I did think it a bit strange that there were no individual diabetic items on the site. Saying that, I am crossing my fingers hoping it will arrive.

If anyone has any updates, refund actually back in back/orders received 🤞 please post here.

Menzies @Themazeoflife.

I got a couple of cheap gift sets, so I don't have to worry.

@Notlongnow1 I am getting excited after seeing your post. It is the nearest thing to a hamper we have seen.

I will ask for a refund if they are not here by Christmas. I am cool. I am enjoying the ride.

I've asked for a refund. Ordered for no one in particular, and don't fancy something arriving while we're away at Christmas. This whole thing is bananas 🍌

I can’t find my confirmation email, did anyone get one when they ordered? I can’t believe I fell for it!

user67836 Yes you get an order number on your confirmation email. Mine is 4699 imagine how many orders they have actually taken if it is all a scam Shock

Another one here playing hamper chicken! They did say it was DPD delivering so fingers crossed that it may appear! Only my fingers I'm crossing and not holding my breath 😂😂

I've had a PM from someone who said they ordered in August, got a dispatch email on 1st Dec but no hamper.

TheGlakitRambler have they gone on to dpd to actually check what parcels are out for delivery to them. You can do it on their ap.
I just spoke to someone who works for dpd and they said to check via this. I have nothing pending but I haven’t yet had a dispatch email.

Well I bought the hampers for mil & fil as he is diabetic. Thought I'd put the two together and add some wine, sorted.

However, today dh has decided to buy them a hotel dinner & stay instead so I guess it has worked out well for them 😂.

On the plus side for me, I now know how to get dh involved in the gift buying, he just couldn't handle Hamper Chicken 🤣

Oh dear the person I spoke to from dpd cannot find them as one of their customers. Confused

Well.

I haven't asked for a refund. And I've just had this come through as an email....

There are some VERY obvious plants on the Facebook page... I'm wondering how many people they actually have involved in this.

What on earth is going on. They are still adamant that they are sending them out.
But it seems they are randomly refunding people now 😳

I didn't even receive an order confirmation email and have heard nothing at all so will see what happens. Thankfully only ordered one mystery hamper

Are they deleting the comments on the Facebook page they don't agree with ? It's very strange how there's 100s of positive comments from people who haven't received hampers yet ! They probably don't have time to dispatch orders because there to busy logging in and out of all the different Facebook pages to leave them self's nice comments GrinGrin

A mystery hamper indeed. Did it ever exist? Will it ever get despatched? Will it ever get refunded?

I ordered close to the end time... And my order number is in the 4900s.

Looking like they may have had about 5000 orders by 9pm on 2nd December....

People on the FB page are asking about orders around 2200! Me and DH finding it a bit funny now... The drama! 😂

I really don't know whether to keep playing hamper chicken. I've never had any more emails other than the original order confirmation and the status on my account is showing as fulfilled on 6th November Xmas Hmm

My guess is that it is money laundering. I think this drama will drag on for quite some time yet. I have no doubt some of the FB customers will still be posting on Christmas Eve that they are 100% certain that the courier company is on the way and that the hampers will be arriving at any minute Hmm
