Not hard to see why really.
Just had a look at a Lowepro lens case and it's £11.50 cheaper on Amazon.

First of all its such a shame that its came to this. Here's hoping a deal can be struck to save as many jobs as possible and keep the company afloat in some form.
On a personal level I'm quite frustrated having received vouchers for Xmas. I knew Jessops were in dodgy ground but unfortunately my parents got me them as a surprise. They were only purchased Xmas eve so a little over two weeks ago and vouchers could be purchased still right up until 2.30 today. I realise from Jessops perspective they are going concern right up until admin but it just can't be right that consumers can purchase vouchers in good faith when a company is on the verge of going under. Now I play the waiting game to see what happens but I'm not hopeful. Last year the same happened to my other half with Peacocks vouchers for xmas who went into admin a few weeks later and last month she was finally offered a creditor settlement of 24p for her £45 worth of vouchers.

Its £50 but could've been a lot worse as last year I was saving up for my D90 and at this time I had almost £400 in Jessops vouchers through bdays/Xmas and other gifts.
It's my parents who I feel sorry for as they are obviously embarrassed having bought the vouchers for me as my Xmas gift and it could materialise to be worthless. I'm trying to find out if they bought them on any kind of card as it may be that there is an option to chargeback.

You know and I know they shouldnt feel embarrassed. I wish we could all print off gift vouchers and not bother honouring them

Yep. Just one if those things really. I'm just a minor stake holder in the grand scheme of things. Im reading stories on the photography forums of people who placed significant orders of £500+ earlier in the week that may not even receive them despite paying. Lets just hope these kjnd of orders were on credit cards.

Funny thing is the grand I still owe Jessops for my lenses bought on 10 months interest free will no doubt still have to be honoured... shame they don't share the same theory for those who they actually owe things too!

I'm in the same boat. They have £50 of my money yet I'm still making finance payments for a Jessops purchase that I made last year on their 10 months Internet free. It's just a shame I owe a finance company rather than Jessops themselves otherwise I'd be seeking advice on stopping the payments.

Stock market vouchers... the amount you put in will probably not be the amount you get out.
Legalised theft in my opinion

Great comment... and it wouldnt suprise me if it got rather nasty in store
"And personally if I had just spend £3000 on a camera and you were telling me I couldn’t have it, but are not giving me a refund either, I think I would be burning the shop down."
