Moonpig asks customers to spare their blushes!

Thursday 27 September 2018

Online greetings card company Moonpig has issued a plea to customers, to stop uploading pictures of their genitals when making cards.

The Guernsey based production line must have seen quite a few lately because a Tweet was sent out on the company's official account politely requesting an end to the graphic pictures as they're against Moonpig's "ts and cs".

please stop uploading pics of your genitals to our cards it is against our ts and cs

The Tweet attracted a fair amount of attention with 65,000 'likes', 24,000 retweets and nearly 1,500 replies, with many people replying with their tongue firmly in cheek.

Rachel replied saying "dad is very apologetic, but he's going through a bad time" while Scott asked Moonpig if they do pop up cards.

Moonpig launched in 2000 and has had a base in Guernsey the entire time, employing numerous staff who work out of offices on Braye Road Industrial Estate.

They also employ people in the UK, France and Spain and the company website states that cards and other products sold by Moonpig are "manufactured and shipped from a range of different in-house and third-party production facilities based in the United Kingdom, Guernsey and overseas." This specifically includes cards with destinations within the United Kingdom and other countries (except Australia, New Zealand and the USA) and card frames.
