Can’t believe this company are still…
Can’t believe this company are still scamming people by sending goods at inflated prices that were never ordered. We reported Gems Hygiene back in 2007 to trading standards!!
Unauthorized Deliveries and Persistent Payment Harassment
GEM Hygiene engaged in constant harassment for payment despite never having placed an order. They delivered goods without authorization and continued to send invoices.
I strongly advise against using GEM Hygiene.
Highly recommending

Cold calling con artists.
Cold calling con artists.
Avoid at all costs.
Telesales picking on junior members of staff & conning them into ordering products. Prices they charge are whatever they feel they can get away with.
Normally about ten times the market value.
Cold calling scammers
Absolutely shameless company avoid at all costs. Cold called our business and conned us into accepting what was described as a small very low cost order, to try out their new all in one product without commiting to a big spend. What actually arrived was a huge box load of three different products costing hundreds of pounds which we had no use for. Then tried to further delude our staff into believing it can't be sent back by courier, due to the chemical nature of the product. Again this proved to be nonsense, you just have to choose an appropriate company such as TNT. Can't imagine what kind of person would consider that an honest living, but stay well clear and make sure to report them as we have.
