Pumpkin Patch closing down 50% off everything

Sgt Pepper 64

MOD EDIT: Please read this entire thread before ordering as there is risks to do with

• Where it ships from (maybe New Zealand so delays and possibly customs, althought there shouldnt be on Kids clothes)
• Refunds
• Fulfilment

END MOD EDIT

Bargain or not, they wouldn't get a single cent off me for that carry on.

Looks like the Irish staff got their money after a sit-in:

If they're in liquidation, is there a chance that they can't honour any online orders and refuse refunds?

The banner on the website says no refunds which is illegal but they do at least clarify it in their updated terms and conditions as follows

We are now in a clearance sale. All of our product is being offered for sale at significantly discounted prices. As such, the Receivers advise that they are unable to provide any exchanges, returns, refunds or credits except to the extent specifically required by any statute.

It is the liquidator who is running the sale now and not the original company so there is no fear of not getting any goods you order and not getting a refund. If you want to be doubly safe pay by credit card and you can do a charge back if anything goes wrong.

It's shipping from New Zealand . So you'll pay handling charges and tax and duty!!which i imagine is illegal as they would have to be registered for VAT in Ireland after doing over 75k this year.

Did they always ship from there? If not then it should be more than 50% off as the original price would have included taxes.

Actually it's not clear where it ships from

Sounds like a mess .... no thanks.

Probably wouldn't even arrive before Christmas if it's coming from New Zealand

Updated the OP, don't really like interfering with posts that aren't breaking rules but I think there is significant risks with placing an order here and just wanted people to be aware

i dont trust them. i ordered from them, took 4 weeks to get here, the clothes were thin, so sent back to their dublin address, 4 weeks later they are telling me they still havent received it. i made the mistake of just posting as per their envelope included and didnt register.

im glad they are gone. they are not helpful, although they had good clothes at one stage, they were not nice people to deal with.

good riddance to the company, and im glad, as i see how they are treating their staff.
