Was meaning to put this up yesterday but forgot and LX just reminded me..

anyone using Mrs Christmas - the food package delivery christmas hamper thing?

Heard yesterday that they have gone into liquidation - and supposedly customers won't miss out on money they have given - but I reckon to be on the safe side if you are a customer you might want to at least stop any automatic payments for the moment - or at least ring someone and check whats up

Yeah, they are pretty sure that someone will buy it so your hampers will be safe?

I wonder how many people used those hamper thingy's for christmas?

Oh thats interesting, yea I wonder how many people do it too?

I wonder too - must not be heaps otherwise they should be good money wise - but then again maybe there is heaps and they just mismanaged themselves - I don't know anyone that gets christmas hampers

BUT there is a hook if you take up their offer.

not wanting to pre-judge their offer or the merit of hamper service , i only suggest clients read the fine print of whether continuing is suitable for you.

no one will lose their money, the company hasnt gone bankrupt it has gone into liquidation and the recievers said on the news everyone will be repaid

i use 2 be with chrisco's i will never go there again i spent over $2000 of food 2yrs ago on chrisco's 2 me its not what it makes out 2 be...the meat was not good at all,BUT WAIT i cant moan we would not have had a christmas if i didnt do that at the time..But i have learnt a big thing i now get $25 a wk countdown vouchers,as my son works there so he get a % off them.and last yr i would say that was the best xmas we have ever had i had more than enuf.so i shared alot of it out 2 familys that were far less off than we were,i also get the mad butcher vouchers and with count down and mad butcher you get better value 4 your money than chrisco's and mrs christmas.so there you are,but thats my thought anyway,anyone eles tryed chrisco's

I also get vouchers... (im getting new world this year, but got countdown last year) its WAY better and you get 5% discount on your total spend as well.... and you can use them earlier if you have a family emergency in october or something!

I worked out the cost of the chrisco and mrs christmas clubs one year and you paid 3 times what it would cost at the supermarket!
