Queen Bee St Neots

This is just a quick warning note to other wholesalers

Queen Bee of St Neots have ordered 3 times from us, each time a very small order (approx £50) and after the initial pro forma have not paid any of their other invoices

When we started chasing the invoices we then talked to 2 other wholesalers who have had a similar experience to us. Small orders but unpaid invoices

After threatening court action we have received 2 post dated cheques so we may get our money but if you are considering supplying them please be careful.

Update

The cheques we were sent bounced. We also have had telephone calls from companies who were at Bubble and who took orders from Queen Bee. She wrote cheques to cover the orders but some have already bounced. Please be careful!

Update no 2.

Today we had a call from Queen Bee obviously very irritated about this blog which hopefully is warning other wholesalers off dealing with Queen Bee.

More sadly we had another call from a wholesaler who said she had lost almost £500. She said she took Queen Bee to court and in the process found out that Queen Bee has got county court judgements against her stretching back years.

If you supply Queen Bee please make sure you get paid before you supply the goods

And if you are chasing for money here is the number we got when she called us

Shop no - 01480 473407

update no 3.

This morning our website hosts got a call from Queen Bee complaining about the article! I presume she wanted them to take the article down.

Other brands have learnt the hard way that protecting your reputation and brand values is harder now that the internet and social media are so prevalent. We think we have a duty to our wholesale community, many of whom are small, to let them know when we have customers not paying their bills. What do you think? Comment on our facebook page

Update No 4.

I have received 3 calls in one week from people who say Queen Bee has not paid them, and one said they had received some very abusive emails from the shop

Police proceedings have therefore been started so if Queen Bee owes you money please call the police on telephone number 101 and report it under the crime number BK 4033876-12. Its unlikely that you will get your money back but it may stop other people experiencing the same issues
