HI all

www.tradionalpigs.co.uk

I used this website to purchase some poultry about 2 weeks ago and I have heard nothing since - I am starting to get slightly worried now. I have paid £149.00 for some POL hybrids and some week old Bronze Turkeys and despite emailing them several times I have heard nothing from them.

I know it is my own fault if I have been "Had" so to speak, but then I found this thread and wondered if anyone had used these before and if anyone had a contact number rather than an email address / website as I cannot contact them.

I am really upset - as these would have been my first lot of chickens and turkeys in my new home, and we have just finished the hen house and fitted it with all that is needed. Worked so hard to get it ready and now I dont know what to do Cry Cry

Can anyone help me to contact them or reassure me that this is normal with this company.

Thanks

Did you purchase from www.traditionalpigs.co.uk (in which case the site no longer exists) or www.traditionalpigs.com on the North Yorkshire Moors ? If you have a full name of someone you spoke to,I might be able to help get an address and phone number for them. I've just sent them an email to see when it would be conveinient to visit their farm to pick out some animals to buy,and asked for directions.
Did they give you a date to pick the animals up,or are they delivering them? Will post the email I get from them (if and when)......... Ree

MrRee

That would be sooooo lovely of you if you can help me out at all with contact details.

I ordered the Legbar/Sussex hybrids from the new site but have heard nothing since I paid for them, not even a confirmation of payment. I keep trying to contact them via email but with no luck with no replies at the moment. I was asking them if I had to pick them up or would they be delivered as I am only in East Yorkshire, but alas nothing.

I only want some chucks (LOL) - everything ready and waiting, including the grand daughter

Hi did you pay by card or cash? A similar topic on another site, suggested that if paying by card you would be insured.

Whatever, it may be that their email has gone down or something simlar. Hope all goes well.

Here's a phone number for them 0845 521 0602 and mobile 07974 869 604 hope it helps. If there's a problem with you not getting what you paid for,or money back,I have a few ex-mercenary/colleague friends in the area that owe me a favour or two! ....... Ree

If you paid by credit card and you don't recieve the goods- you can claim through your credit card company and you should get the money back. If you paid by debit card, then sorry, the issuing bank will not refund you. Thats why you should use a credit card for any online purchases- even if you keep it cut up so you don't use it for anything else!
