  2. wanted to purchase ultimate finish 7 piece valet twinpack on line found it impossible website very difficult to understand

  3. WHY OH WHY ARE WE UNABLE TO PHONE OUR ORDER THROUGH TO YOU?I’M TRYING TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR THE GARDENING DEPT…….HANGING BASKETS.
    NOW I FIND YOU’ER NEW WEBSITE HARD TO UNDERSTAND,IF THIS IS YOU’RE LATEST WEBSITE. PLEASE HOCHANDA TRY HARDER OR YOU WILL LOOSE OUT, IF YOU HAVE’NT ALREADY.!!!!!!!!IV’E ALREADY GIVEN UP TRYING.WHAT A SHAME.

    thank you.

  5. Why can I not find online to order what is shown on the tv program this is not the first time this has happened . Won’t be trying again as won’t be following hochanda anymore will go back to the other craft programs who have a web site that that you can understand

  6. so hard to find out how to order,plus one will go back to c reate &craft, because spending time looking for the right place then not bothering (fed up) back to c&c

  7. So hard to make an order, been trying so long to find your on-line order line, you must be losing orders, you need to get this sorted asap.

    • Have been trying for over an hour to order Debbie Shore’s animal templates!!! I might not be the brightest on the computer but have given up (shame, I would have loved them) but am totally bewildered. Unless the sight is made easier I won’t be trying again.

  8. Trying to order online but it does not make sense I think it needs an overall to make it easier to order all the lovely things you have on your shows

  9. I’m trying to negotiate your website to place an order and/or chat to someone re: a Sunflower stencil or die? shown on Wed 9 March late a.m. The presenter was colouring it in with gold/yellow pens. I rang your phone line but the operator couldn’t find it. I hope you resolve this situation asap for your sakes. I rang your order line recently (out of hours I think) and what sounded like a call centre op located somewhere hot and sunny did her utmost to resolve my query but despite her v best efforts she couldn’t. Oh dear. Reading the comments above from other lost clients I’m glad to see it’s not just me.

  11. Still waiting for explanation why my phone order of 5th March has not been met. ordered two button bundles plus two refills but Hochanda wil not answer my many emails, Even wrote to Debbie Shore hoping she could/would help. I agree, the online ordering offered leaves a lot to be desired.

    RSVP/ASAP

    • I ordered the crafter’s companion pro bundle(5th of march 2016) and haven’t received it yet. I got an email from hochanda, saying that my orders will be delivered tuesday or wednesday ( 15 March or 16th), the reason is that, they are experiencing large orders due to Crafters companion’s launching….hmmmm
      I also called Hochanda because their website was behaving funny. They rectified another order that I placed.

      • I have been trying unsuccessfully to place an order for items on your current art show programme which finished at 9 pm (it is now 9.42). How long before you’re up and running? I got as far as the checkout but was completely unsuccessful in completing my address. S C R E A M ! ! ! !

    • Please, call them up quickly, check your spam messages. I doubt that hochanda reads their mails.
      They have a facebook page and instagram page.
      Some people were complaining on a craft group in facebook about not receiving a confirmation mail of their orders and delays of their orders.
      Many said that they received a mail from hochanda stating that their orders will be delayed and delivered next week tuesday-15th march, due to Crafters companion’s launch. Hochanda is experiencing large orders and they are trying to cope.

  12. Why does this need moderating ? I could have copies the full content of all my emails, with more information. Ask what it is you think needs to be moderated and I will try and give you answers.

    • It is not only your comments that is being moderated. When I post too, I discovered that it is being moderated.
      I think that comments are being moderated due to the setting of the comments system of the blog.
      Also, I think it is because some people do post some weird things and links.

  13. Difficult to hold a one-sided conversation….. unless you pose questions, it is almost impossible to consider moderating my comments.

    closing my discussion after posting this comment.

  14. I have to agree on ordering online ….or should I say ..TRYING to order unless you are doing so when show is on, and you are shown items in show under schedule time of show.When I have ordered by phone, I have had some really helpful operators one maybe not so good. However ordering by phone adds to the cost of item. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
    Try to improve this or I am sure you will lose potential customers

    • Ordering by phone, do add to the cost of the items ( especially when the phone-bill arrives). I prefer placing my orders online.

  15. I have read all your comments, I will be visiting Hochanda “in person” soon and I promise to notify them of your concerns and their website. Thank you so much.

  16. Cannot navigate the new web site, cannot order therefore going back to create and craft. This needs sorting asap or customers will (continue) to be lost.

  17. The order line can be a lot better or you will lose customers, I finally got through after 15 mins, not very good, simplify the order line before it’s too late,

  18. Just watched your tv ads, all prepared to place my first order, then came across all the negative responses. I wont even try to order.
    This name is new to me but I think you will be history very early on.

  21. Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed!
    Very useful info specifically the last part 🙂 I care for such information a lot.
    I was seeking this particular information for a very long
    time. Thank you and good luck.

  22. Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin

  24. I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.

    I do not know who you are but certainly you’re
    going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!

  26. Appreciating the persistence you put into your site and
    in depth information you provide. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once
    in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed information. Great read!
    I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to
    my Google account.

  28. Your website cannot even match up my already inputted address when I inputted it again as my billing address. So I was unable to place my order. I was then forced to go to your expensive telephone line. Maybe this is a deliberate ploy to make more money.

  29. I have tried unsuccessfully to order on line I have ordered by phone but I was not too happy doing it. I have found your web site un friendly.

  30. This is the second time I have tried to place an order with you and again I have spent an hour going round in circles Why cannot you go straight to list of goods for sale and place your order. I don’t want to access facebook stc and neither do I want to phone an order. How do you manage to sell the one day specials when you can’t even find them?

  31. Hi, why can’t I get onto your order line you say press the pink emblem on the right of the page but I can’t see any such thing. I’ve tried everything but can’t get through to see what there is to buy, why can’t you make it easier to order.

  33. I have been trying to place an order on line but can’t work it out and not the first time this has happened. Please make it easier as you are loosing a lot of sales.

  34. My first trip to the Hochanda Website to place an order whilst the
    item was on offer. Set up my details ok and got item into basket ok then
    tried to put in my address and confirm delivery but could not do so Having tried for upteen times I just finally abandoned it and emailed customer service got a reply asking me to order by phone which I prefer not to do from Ireland so went back and tried for another half an hour unsuccessfully could not get my address inserted even though address for my very village came up so obivously they have customers from here. So emailed again no reply so goodbye Hochanda a very disappointed from would be purchaser never had this trouble with any webside in UK before and items always delivered promptly. disappointed.

  36. Well ,I have tried several times since yesterday like a lot .Im giving up Hochanda .I can’t order hardly ever and I wanted to purchase sarahs signature full set ,your loss not mine .BGiodbye Hochanda ,I can’t even say it’s been a pleasure because it has not .I think you are going to lose many more customers if you don’t sort you’re website .I love the stuff you’re bringing but it’s frustrating and I’m not adding to the cost by calling by phone .

  37. Heｙa! I jᥙѕt wantеd to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordрress) was hacked and I
    ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
