I bought three items in the sale and they arrived today, as promised.

Fantastics deals, free p&p and great back up from their support team. Just thought that they deserved a bit of positive feedback Thumbs Up

The stuff I got from there had lasted very well indeed. In terms of waterproofing its brilliant as well.

As been said, they won't be round for much longer because of their extortionate prices Wink

Not yet.

It needs to be reported on Wikipedia.

Then MCN reports that it's true because it's on Wikipedia.

Then Wikipedia can list MCN as the verified source.

Truth, solved.

Well I've just ordered some new trousers in their 30% off closing down sale so I'm happy Thumbs Up

Their own brand stuff is usually damn good value, will be a shame to see them go Wink

Ordered my gloves from them three weeks ago, and still haven't shown up Sad Been promised they'll be here tomorrow at the latest after three phonecalls, that said they were very helpful on the phone and did bother to track the parcel etc.

I'm not in a rush for them though, so no bother, and I did save about £45 on them!

Regards,
Andy

Got some summer and winter gloves for work from them, had to get the summer ones ordered in because they didn't have the right size. 2 weeks and nothing so rang them and the first had got lost, so they got the second sent out, had them redirected from the store to my address, arrived last week.

Winter ones are fantastic, HG brand, fully waterproof and windproof, to test them I dunked my hands in a bucket of cold water up to the wrists and had them in there for several minutes but no leaks and hands didn't even feel cold.


Be a shame if they are on the verge of administration, because they do have some great stuff, but the price is premium, and internet order sites with no "brick & mortar overheads" can often do much cheaper now.

Which part of the email I copied and them even upselling loyalty cards gives the impression of impending administration??

Some people really are numpties.

Extending a sale to keep the prices down and sell more. Not saying it is, but could be a sign.

I never actually said they ARE going down, I said it would be a shame if they are close to the edge. I don't know if they are or aren't, merely said it wouldn't be a good thing if they did go under

Gloves finally arrived this morning, 15 days later.... and I have a medium left glove, and an extra large right glove.

Unhappy doesn't quite cover it!

Perhaps they assumed that you have a muscular wanking hand?

Now I ordered my trousers on Sunday evening, bearing in mind their website says delivery in 3-5 days and my order is still showing as "Processing" I'm getting a tad concerned that maybe that delivery estimate is a bit optimistic.

No bother, I'll just call their customer services number to see what is going on but all I hear is a recorded message saying they are unable to take the call and to phone back later or email them.

Something smells a bit fishy (and my girlfriend is out).

Been trying to contact them all day re: them assuming as a student I've built up fair musculature in my right hand by spending all day masturbating.....

I had exactly the same problem with my order, showing as "Processing" after seven days I called them and was told that "they left yesterday, should be with you tomorrow." Another week later I called again and was told "Ah, yes, we didn't have them in stock, I'll call you back in ten minutes."

Which to be fair, the gentleman on the phone did, and explained they'd be dispatched straight from a store, three days later they finally arrived, and I have one medium glove, and one XXL glove......... They clearly aren't interested in solving the problem.

Exactly the same, phone call saying to email or call back later, I emailed them three days ago and haven't had a response.

Regards,
Andy

The only problem I have with Hein Gericke is that I always find something online, go down to the store and it's never in stock...I would order it from the site but judging by some of the experiences posted above that seems more hassle than its worth!
