Lol Hamper King even worse:

But leading up to this Christmas, a number of Hamper King customers claimed the items they’d been paying off for a year arrived in Coles plastic supermarket bags. Several commenters on ProductReview.com backed up the claims, while a statement from Hamper King also confirmed the practice and detailed its partnership with Coles.

“In the past, Hamper King sourced the food products to go in its hampers and packed them into boxes for delivery by a courier company,” a spokesperson said. “This year, Hamper King entered into a contract with Coles to source and deliver all the food products in Hamper King hampers.

“Six weeks before delivery of the hampers in November, Hamper King communicated with all its customers alerting them to that change. They received a follow-up notice reminding them four weeks before delivery.

“Coles’ delivery format is in plastic bags. Where the goods are perishable, the plastic bags are transported in chiller boxes. All food products are transported in refrigerated vehicles.

“The food products delivered from Coles are all exactly the same as those presented in the catalogue. On rare occasions where a particular item is unavailable, it is substituted with a product of equal or superior quality.”

There is currently a discussion on a local page on Facebook about Chrisco. Someone has pointed out that a local supermarket has a Christmas account where each time you go shopping during the year you can put a few dollars into it and how much cheaper it is. Yet there are still people saying they prefer Chrisco for the convenience.

What is wrong with some people?

I just did my Christmas Eve/Day shopping with Woolworths online. Took me about 20 minutes, it will all be delivered on the 23rd December, and it only cost me $9 (which I consider to be money well spent to avoid the shops that week).

Same, Ive got heap of stuff ordered, I use online often now. I still prefer to pick out my fresh food vegis meat etc for special occasions, but for the everyday stuff its awesome. Coles is delivering stockings, shortbreads, tim tams, toys, some other Aussie suff which is all going in a box to my kids in Czech tomorrow, perfect. All the instore specials are also on special online.
I also use our local Woolwoths which is a few minutes away..order online, they pack it for me and all I do is pick it up. Love it.

I tried reading one of the posts - I got to about the third paragraph before I actually felt my brain cells dying and I had to stop. I know some self-centred people but some of the posts on there take the biscuit.

The idiots are dumber than their customers.

They had this absolute pisstake troll of a business model and have somehow managed to **** it up.

Purchasing credit cards to buy your presents, food, holidays etc..hard to fathom. They paid a $250 premium for this stress..by far the stupider.
The Hamper King people have got other spin off companies they will build up, theres plenty of fresh dickheadery waiting out there for next year.

This is incredible.

Let’s work out the most unbelievable business model ever:

- buy cheap, shitty stock
- sell it above RRP
- get the customers to pay in advance
- get super generous payment terms from suppliers because it’s shitty stuff nobody wants
- set it all up on direct debit so we always get paid
- operations-wise, we only need to work a month a year - we only need warehouse space and labour for a month a year

And now we’ve added to that... let’s not even do the work! Just outsource it to somebody else! Amazing

It's genius. They are charging a premium to do online coles shopping for people who are already doing online shopping.

They got cocky. They have somehow overestimated how stupid their customer base is; turns out there is a point where they will realise they're getting screwed over. I guess when you've been ripping people off for years with an obvious scam, it's easy to get arrogant.

I wonder if this credit card thing is actually legal.

Are they licensed to provide credit cards?
Do they do required financial backgrounds?
Do they do the 100 point check?

Will they deliver to Barwon Prison if anyone gets locked up?

They'd be prepaid Visa debit cards
