Yes that comment wasn't needed and I take that back. Still think they are a disgrace of a company who lied to their customers. Just be clear from the off. Not keep people waiting over 20 days and still advertise more deals.

Correct. Not carry on advertising deals when they are already over 2 weeks behind.

As far as I'm aware it's been sold on the quite but I'm sure it will come to light before long.
Yes it was sold on Saturday. Kieron is taking time to be with a cherished one who's fighting a horrible illness. And I personally wish him some peace now to deal with it.
He won't mind me saying his struggles where he took on too many things, monster wasn't even the main source of income but kept a lot of young lads in work.

no more "deals" i hear
someone with a bit of business sense?
buy 10kg, get 10kg free...tells me how much the first 10kg profit makes, or how a business can be desperate..

I think the first thing should be “buy ten kilos and it actually turns up” that wouldn't be a bad starting point. Or perhaps buy ten kilos and it actually turns up and isn't mouldy and we will actually pick up the phone.
All radical ideas I know, but I reckon it might catch on.

The business model is working to some degree, Ive heard the others firms are thinking about folding yet monster plows on.
One thing I think needs to be mentioned to be fair, and I get this will sound like devils advocate, but we rarely, if ever, hear the good stories, if people get standard hemp thats decent they carry on, its only if particle firms push for acknowledgement or create a "team" that good publicity comes from it.
But a HELL of a lot of people will immediately go public with a bad experience, and usually in my experience before trying to get it resolved with a firm.
a recent experience of mine, sent someone 30kg of nut bait instead of the 15 kilo of fishmeal they'd ordered ( labels mixed up ). the lad who'd ordered the nut bait let me know straight away and I sorted it and told him to keep the fishmeals as a gift. the guy who'd ordered the fishmeals and recieved a greater monetary value of order chose to slag me off on one of the carp groups without giving me the chance to rectify the problem, which would of been at the very least 15kg of fishmeal plus extras as a good will gesture.
I get its more frequent with monster but they do send out about a thousand packages a week, I know they sell by weight ten times more than anyone else as other particle providers by their straights form them I believe.
Either way I agree the deals are complicating a matter thats gotten out of control, a simple streamlined approach would be better for everyone.
As for monetary costs, other particle firms could offer the same deals but prefer a higher mark up.
I just boil my own, usually in the boilie water at the end of the day,

If you get standard hemp thats decent surely you wouldn't mention it,that is what you are paying for.I feel sorry for the guy with the illness in his family but he should not be taking people's money and messing them around

That's exactly my point though.
With regards to the deals it's a toss up if you have a company with employees with family's you have an obligation to them as well ?
I've personally only ever seem floating hemp posts by the idiots who defrost hemp in the bag ( makes it float ) or don't add enough juice prior to freezing ( I know monster sold drained to provide a better deal ).
As I don't post particle, if locals buy it I'll Chuck in the juice after weighing out there purchase so it's likely a 7kg package with 5kg hemp inside, but if I post thst the customer would have to pay to ship water. There is no easy way to do it.
I've heard from two people alledged close to him that carbon may be folding soon. - take that as conjecture or with a pinch of salt as I've not confirmed it .
Shipping bagged particle seems a fickle game.
We once thought of doing the Jared gear but it's a ridiculous waste of plastic

I hope not, i like carbon baits. Monster can disappear as far as i am concerned, i certainly won't ever use them again

I'd be gob smacked if carbon went anywhere. He's ridiculously busy isn't he?

Does anyone think like me that it's a bit odd naming the company as Carbon Baits.
I'm not going to lose sleep about it but the word Carbon doesn't relate to bait in my opinion. Rods and other tackle maybe but not bait.
