Placed an order on 9th March. Received confirmation email. Supposedly shipped on 16th March. Received shipping info 18th March. Had a query delivery email, but from a 'no reply' email address on 23 March so answers bounced back. Have tried going through the contact area of the website but get no response and tracking is stuck on 'pending' over a month after ordering. Stumped and frustrated.

Think of it this way, you see multiple ads on TV on different channels every day and we all know it costs thousands for ad to be shown on TV and even more if its shown on multiple channels, so how do they have the money to put ads out but not enough to help all those countries they "represent" and try to "help".

Is it not funny how an international company can be exposed in a scandalous documentary that highlighted sexual harassment,bullying in its offices down to Unicef peacekeepers abusing children.Yet continue to ply their adverts from that very night until today as if nothing was amiss..treating the public like fools,"they will soon forget."I cannot remember the title of the documentary but just google..`unicef scandals`.. and you will find many more.Unicef`s salary bill plus benefits that include 18-30 days vacation,health insurance and a pension to name a few,continual begging advertisement costs,paying third grade so called celebrities to become ambassadors add to billions of pounds a year,that is a tremendous amount of £10....£27 emergency aid packages....so do not think your donation is going anywhere near the people you think you are helping,it is going towards their salaries first then adverts to keep their money coming in,it is run as a marketing BUSINESS..Unicef Ireland Executive Director paid E154K in 2019 and another staff member paid E70K just two charitable workers.They use (could be classed as abuse) the vulnerable to try and lay a guilt trip on society to build a `Business` under the guise of a charity that is only concerned about ensuring their continued substantial salaries and lifestyle etc.A disgrace.

DO NOT DONATE TO UNICEF THEY SUPPORT ISRAEL!!ANYTHING YOU HAVE DONATED TO THEM ISN'T GOING TO THE PLACE THEY STATED, IT IS ALL GOING TO ISRAEL TOMFUN THIS ATROCIOUS GENOCIDE

Why is UNICEF who have quite a bad record on ethics and accountability already on TV claiming they are getting fuel, medical supplies and aid into Gaza? But need us to send them money, If the UN aid is stuck at the border and under Hamas control once it gets in, what is it UNICEF are doing that the UN is getting wrong, and why are they once again allowed to beg for money based on a very questionable claim. If this is the case then this type of getting money under false pretenses shouldn’t be allowed. Be very careful where you put any donations in 2024
