have you rang trading standards? i have reported monkeyshine to them.
<br/>
<br/>i wrote a letter (at their advice) to monkeyshine managing director, and sent it by recorded delivery but it was returned to me unopened. i contacted the post office who said the unit where they were they were working has been closed down and the workers 'laid off'. trading standards said i'd need to pursue compensation through the small claims courts or through my credit card company, i chose the latter.

Would suggest everyone keeping an eye on companieshouse.gov.uk for insolvency!! Been advise could take months! But i want all my money back....this shouldn't be allowed.

“I ordered a toy box form monkeyshine in early August,...”

I ordered a toy box form monkeyshine in early August, payment was taken the next day and I'm still £153 worse off with nothing to show for it... I've emailed and phoned with no response, and given the website has now been down for some time can only assume they've gone out of business. Any suggestions of what actions could be taken to get my money back would be gratefully received!

Are MonkeyShine still in business? I placed an order in June. Payment was taken and I am still waiting for delivery. I have had no answer to my emails. Nobody answers their phone.

hi. i have previously left my comments on here (i ordered a wooden bathroom step) and i have rang monkeyshine, emailed them & sent letters by recorded delivery. phone calls & emails were not replied to & the letters i sent were returned to me by the post office.
<br/>i have been following the advice of trading standards from the start. trading standards suggested to me that i take monkeyshine to court to get my money back, which i was reluctant to do because i would be out of pocket again untill the company director has to cough up what he owes us! i spoke to my credit card company again and they have recredited my account and they are now chasing the money from monkeyshine which is a huge relief.
<br/>
<br/>i would advise you to speak to trading standards to log your complaint & speak to your credit card company too, who should reimburse you as the transaction was over &pound;100. i also want to add that i spoke to withernsea post office when i was trying to find out if my letters had been received and they told me the unit where monkeyshine was situated has closed down and a friend of hers worked there and is now out of a job! if that's not confirmation they're sipping on cocktails in the bahamas spending our money then what i?!
<br/>
<br/>i wish you good luck and post back on here to let me and others know how you get on.

written by gemW on 30/08/2009

I ordered a wooden bathroom step from Monkeyshine.co.uk, payment was debited immediently from my card, 9 days later it still had not arrived so i contacted them to see when item would be delivered. Monkeyshine do not answer their phones or phone their customers back. i emailed them, cancelling my order. got an abrupt email back saying i would have to pay for return postage, i then emailed them back to say that according to their site item had not been dispatched yet! Another week later a courier delivered item which i didn't accept. Still waiting for refund or reply to letter i sent. Now website does not exist!!

Monkeyshine also debited my card the day after I placed my order. I ordered £25 worth of bits and that was 3rd september 2008 and it is now 18th november, still have received nothing yet and they have never answered their phones whenever I have tried to phone them.

written by steve Trent on 06/10/2008

They debited my money instantly, have failed to dispatch goods and then failed to refund goods as yet. They do not answer the phone whenever I phone them, simply goes to an automated system that makes an attempt at credibility.
