Gifts & Not so Caring

[Shave to the grave]

If you're in the UK and thinking of ordering from GIFTS & CARE, think again. I placed an order with them a few days ago but when you select 'country' at checkout the default is Ireland. I have ordered from them before, back in 2019 without a problem so when I entered my UK address (city, county, country, postcode) I assumed they'd be able to put two & two together and come up with four. They've come up with nine! So even though they have my full UK address the parcel is on it's way to Ireland. I suspect It'll eventually turn up. Or maybe not. Who knows.
You can only contact them via WhatsApp and to my absolute amazement, they got back to me. What they essentially said was tough poop. Informed me they don't post to the UK and that I should've got hold of them before pulling the trigger.

You've got to love that kind of customer service

They don't ship to UK, but they ship to Ireland. What is the shipping for Ireland & UK?

They should also mention with red capital letters in their homepage "WE DON'T DELIVER TO UK YOU BEASTS".

It's their fault.

Southern Ireland is Eire and still in Europe, Northern Ireland is part of the UK and not in Europe so the are a lot of issues with paperwork and tax issues.

@Randy Correct. you would think they'd have that on their website for all to see!

With a bit of luck it may yet find it's way. I'm quietly optimistic

I was able to contact AN post, the Irish postal service who were very helpful. The parcel will arrive in Ireland and then be returned to GIFTS & CARE who will hopefully issue a refund. I won't hold my breath on that one!
