WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

If I could give them -10 stars I would. I ordered two parcels one on 30/11/2025 and the other on 05/12/2025 and in both instances was promised a 4 - 6 business day delivery. I added I note on the last parcel that should the parcels not be delivered on/before 11/12/2025 to please contact me for an alternative address as our offices closed on that date. Trying to contact them by telephone for the last three weeks has been impossible because they are "upgrading to a new system and their telephone lines are temporarily unavailable"!! What kind of company's telephone lines are unavailable at the busiest time of the year?? Despite numerous emails requesting them to change the delivery address these two parcels were addressed to my office address and are currently languishing at their couriers - LPD couriers - who were ALSO requested telephonically to change the delivery address to no avail. The lady I spoke to at LPD confirmed that I had requested them to contact me should the parcels not be delivered on/before 11/12/2025. Yet neither IG nor LPD had the presence of mind to do so. As both these parcels contained gifts I had to go out and replace; the contents of the parcels are superfluous. What a waste of money!!!

I have just checked their review graph and it is most interesting so see that their on-star reviews have climbed steadily since May 2025. Time to cancel my hampers met thinks!!
