The company I used to work for went into Administration at the end of October last year.

About a month before this we received a similar size parcel to yourself. Inside was filled with those big bubble bags, similar to bubble wrap but much bigger. Inside were four plastic price holders, measuring 4 inches by 2 inches and about a quarter of an inch thick.

Administration? Wonder why. mmmmmm
