CAMERABOX CEASES TRADING: Camerabox.co.uk, a family-run online camera warehouse based in Thame, Oxfordshire — which employs more than 30 people — is sending an auto-response email to customers saying it has ceased trading, “temporarily”, following “the loss of key members of staff”. The email states it has cancelled all unfulfilled orders, and advises customers to seek refunds for them, or instruct their credit card issuers to dispute them. The company is not answering its phones or responding to emails personally.

Its auto-response text states: “After the loss of key members of staff, Camerabox Limited has been forced to temporarily cease trading. We will temporarily cease to take any new orders and all existing and unfulfilled orders have been cancelled. Refunds take between 2-14 days or alternatively you can contact your card issuer to issue a dispute and chargeback. Thank you for your co-operation and patience in this difficult period.”
