Has anybody heard from Habitat?

I'm fairly certain the ad in the IT said no vouchers.

Had a quick flick of the IT and could only see a little side column in the business section - no mention of vouchers. Is there another ad that I'm missing?

Blurb relates to Dublin only - no mention of Galway

thanks

There's no way a liquidator would accept vouchers. Those with vouchers are creditors and accepting the vouchers would give them prefferential status that they don't warrant. the purpose of the sale will be to raise cash - not benefit certain creditors
 
Sorry - just finished my flick and there it is on the top RHS of the back page - no vouchers. Grrrrrrrrrr....

Oh no.......is it just furniture they are selling off or are smaller items like lights household or decorative items in the sale also?
 
if you do go down head to the o'neills pub side of the entrance the queue is smaller that side. there's lots of tat for sale wouldn't bother heading down, doubt there'll be much left over tomorrow.
 
just back from a wasted lunch break... queued up for ages, got in looked around and it wasn't even as good as Habitiat's normal sale. mostly rubishy stuff left, very little nice stuff. prices 80% reduced so they say but some stuff wasn't. If your looking for bigger items probably worth seeing if you can get a bargain but most of the kitchen / bathroom stuuf not worth it imo. I had basket of stuff then looked at the queue to pay and decided it wasn't worth it.
 
Yeah waste of time and wasted lunch break. Queued for 20 mins to get in and couldnt believe amount of women with young babies in prams on queue, I suppose I shouldnt even go there - but seriously what are they thinking of.............. most of the furniture had sold stickers on them and smaller items were being snapped up. Would be better off spending time choosing from Ikea catalogue.
 
I'm looking for a picture photo frame to match one I bought before it closed down - did anyone notice if there were many still there? (one of the wooden ones that hold five postcard sized prints / photos)

thanks
 
Re: habitat gift card

Has anybody redeemed their irish habitat gift card online with the uk habitat store?
 
Hi,

Just getting back to the original post on this thread, does anyone else have an update on outstanding orders with Habitiat?

Just briefly my own situation is, that we (boyfriend and I) had a number of items on order with Habitat and also some incomplete orders had been delivered at the time of closing. As instructed we contacted Habitat UK, and after a period of time they issued an email saying that we should pursue a refund through our credit/laser card providers.

Now I (I grant it was somewhat delayed) contacted my branch to make the claim, sent in a fax with all the details about a month ago, and today got a call to day that because more than 120days had elapsed since I made the lasercard payment the bank will not proceed any further with my claim and I now need to pursue the matter with the liquidator?

My main issue here is that from the transaction in March to mid June when Habitiat UK sent us an email, we still expected delivery of the goods, so surely the 120 limit to claiming refund should be extended in these situations. I plan to follow up further with my bank, but am also want to know where to start with lodging a claim with the liquidator as I don't really expect to get anywhere with the bank? How do you find out what firm it is etc?

Anyway some advice/feedback would be welcome, as I am sure we can't be the only people in this situation.

By the way I am not a frequent poster, but I do browse topics regluarly and have picked up lots of good advice and info.

Thanks!
Suz
 
Just to say that I finally received a Habitat UK gift card voucher in exchange for my Irish vouchers just before Christmas!

Whole thing took about 6 months I'd say. They also applied a sterling conversion rate of 76 pence to the euro . . . :(
