BEWARE: Canine Kennels gone bust

[GameBirdMeg 21]

We have been stung £500 of hard earn't money on kennel sections from Canine Kennels. Ordered them 3 weeks ago and was supposed to receive them yesterday. Spoke to them today to find out whats happening only to be told that they went into administration yesterday and that we won't get our money back. Been on the phone today talking to the Countrymans for advice, Trading standards, IDIOTS at Canine Kennels. Apparently they went into administration yesterday (bearing in mind my goods were supposed to be delivered yesterday!!) BUT HAVE NOT YET GONE INTO RECEIVERSHIP YET... We paid online by debit card and there fore are not able to get our money back as you would on a credit card but by law if they have not yet gone into receivership you ARE entitled to cancel your order and get a refund. They owe the Countrymans Weekly and the Shooting Times thousands and are still happy to take an order from customers fully well knowing that they are not going to receive their goods from Canine Kennels. It is DISGUSTING. Though one of their staff told be that they are being brought out and the new owners plan to resolve these problems but I'm not holding my breath. They are a Limited company and wouldn't suprise me if they come back under another name. The best advice we can give is speak to your bank, trading standards and keep the receivership status up to date with the official receivership helpine. Its a really horrible feeling being knocked, especially with Xmas right on our door step

Very sorry to hear that mate ..we nearly bought some runs of them when they where trying to get more business on the countrywide kennels thread....These runs are not unique at ALL to Cannine kennels..in fact doghealth do them cheaper...the onlything is now I am VERY wary about paying for 16 panels up front...I did find the manufacturer of these panels in Belgium but because I don't need loads it's not worth me buying them from them or going over their...

 

Very sad times

Really sorry to hear about you loosing your money - what a disappointment! I had my first lot of kennels from them and are currently looking into expanding but I have to agree with Kev: I wouldn't like to pay upfront for an order as some of these kennel companies seem to close down without any pre warning
