No-one deserves to be treated so shoddily, least of all a young couple just starting out on married life together, and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that some kind of solution can be found for you.

No-one deserves to be treated so shoddily, least of all a young couple just starting out on married life together, and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that some kind of solution can be found for you.

My husband and I got married Feb 23rd this year and have only received about 10% of our gifts. Following the obvious delays and many excuses (including that of a flood in the warehouse in Feb and a member of staff expeiencing a family emergency) my husband, a trainee solicitor, began legal proceedings. Two weeks before wrapit went into administration, we received an email from the head of fullfilment confirming that the managing director had agreed to settle out of court for the amount discussed and that we would receive that amount within 7-10 working days. We are still waiting. My husband is following up, threatening legal action against the md as he settled knowing that accounts had already been frozen.l but it looks like we will not be receiving anything. We are in our early 20's setting up home and are now without the generous gifts friends and family kindly got for us to help us on our way. The whole experience has been very upsetting. Particularly wathcing Peter Geraldi diverting blame, hearing him say that if the money had not been frozen in May, everyone would have their gifts is absurd, particularly given the fact that in May, there were already many couples who had been waiting month beyond the max 12 week mark wrapit claimed. So upset, but glad to hear someone lay out the situation as clearly and eloquently as yourself. Kindest regards, Jennifer Many thanks for this blog.
