[I'd just like to preface this with a whole-hearted thank you to all of you that have signed and shared & commented on this petition. I realise the whole thing is bizarre & confusing, it's such a huge & convoluted issue, of which the food waste is just the tip.  Whilst what's written below is hardly good news, it may nevertheless mean we are getting closer to the goal.  And I feel confident that somehow or other we will, before very long, be able to salvage and donate a great number of meals to those who need it. Hopefully what you read below will provoke some strong feelings and lead you to share and talk about the whole thing more, it's important that the pressure is maintained. I just hope it doesn't end up costing me and my business  even more than it has already.

Anyway, thanks once again -  la lucha continua!  �✊��]

Well, well well...we seem to have rattled the coffin of the Vampire-Goliath called GIG.

Surprisingly, it appears (to borrow a phrase) that "they don't like it up 'em, you know?" - "Meat for the Beat"

I've now received a letter from their legal beagles, saying they are instructed:
"that as a gesture of goodwill our client would be prepared to release your client’s stock from its storage facility to your client on the strict condition that your client immediately removes all references and material published on line in relation to their dispute with our client."

But, as a wise [N.B. and potty-mouthed] character by the name of Winston Wolf once said [N.B.B. do NOT click on the following link if you don't f***ing like swearing etc.]:
"Let's not start su................quite yet" or imagining that Global Infusion Group's cock-eyed directors, John Ford & Matt Laurenson, have somehow found a conscience between them. [Oh...and btw I haven't forgotten about you either, Will Laurenson...]

Because, in the very same letter, they attached a larceny of new invoices - amounting to an extra £12,000 - for the storage of the stock that they've refused to release for 10 months, despite multiple entreaties that I be allowed access so as to sell and / or give it away.
It's instructive that their idea of goodwill is to add a new loss of £12k on top of £20k or so in revenue that I have lost from the already expired + the meals due to expire on Monday, due to their seizure of my stock in trade.

This from a company that, by my calculations, was systematically invoicing me for 400% more volume than my stock actually comprises of, at a pallet rate [£12.50] 267% higher than that of my new fulfilment company Magnavale [£3.40], which operates at an order error rate 133400% superior to e2b’s (yep that’s more than one hundred & thirty three thousand percent! [0.02% error rate for Magnavale, compared to e2b’s admitted error rate of 26.7% on Big Apple orders in November 2021.]

N.B. If any spectators out there in the ringside seats, can see a flaw in my calculations please let me know - I'm no expert in maths & equations, but then again neither is anybody at e2b & I'd offer odds that my accuracy would knock any single one of theirs into a cocked-hat. Especially their accounts department, the total sum of which, couldn't manage to send invoices, reminders or even provide accurate statements or ones featuring payments as well as debits.

Honestly I despair.

May the gods spare us from the goodwill of characters such as John Ford & his Global Effluence Group.
