Rascals Nursery World - Gone Bust

October 02, 2008

We ordered a BabyStyle pram from Rascals Nursery World in St Helens 3 months ago, and paid them a £90 deposit for the pram.

A month before the baby is due to be born, we'd heard nothing from them, so my wife rang and rang the store with no reply.

I drove up to the shop on 1st October and found the shutters down. Spoke to a helpful lady in the Florist shop a few doors down and she said they'd had lots of people coming into the store asking about Rascals - the store hadn't opened for several weeks and Trading Standards had been looking for the owner.

We contacted the supplier of the pram we'd ordered; they did some investigations and confirmed our suspicions that Rascals Nursery World had gone bust. Fortunately they traced our order in their system and agreed to send the pram direct to us, otherwise we'd have been left with no pram and out of pocket.

Luckily for us we paid the deposit on credit card so the credit card company have agreed to refund us.

So be warned - if you've ordered anything from Rascals Nursery World in St Helens, they have gone bust and your order won't be fulfilled.
