This was a response to quite a bad customer review of delivery and customer service. Unless Eve were fibbing they really must have been busy around Feb 4th:
Hi Milena, thanks for contacting us here at eve.
Our mattress was on a delayed service due to the high demand for sales following a superb Which? review on the product itself. Our apologies for any confusion over delivery dates here. '

well, the £450.05 was me – after seeing 24 more trustpilot reviews in last 24 hrs. The £15k + £6k transactions before me look like buys, so maybe they also read Trustpilot.
(Mrs Geeman not impressed I have to admit)

Now this is surprising. People are selling the sloths on eBay. £45.00 Buy it now (or another at £59.99 Buy it now)

Wiki: TV-am. Roland Rat first appeared on 1 April 1983 (Good Friday) on the ailing breakfast television network TV-am, and is generally regarded as its saviour, being described as "the only rat to join a sinking ship". After a couple of months on TV-am, Roland took the audience from 100,000 to 1.8 million.

I'll be the first to say what everyone's thinking: Roland Rat saved TVam in the 80's.

Reading the reviews it varies a lot. Some / most write almost immediately immediately, others weeks / months later. Not all are good. But the shear number of reviews indicates activity. Some people used Trustpilot as a way to communicate with eve when the phones were not being answered!
Anyway, on the face of it, it looks like 2020 busy so far.

Sorry, not 50 days. 62 Days. So 7 reviews per day; still highest I can recall.

In 50 days since Dec 19 there've been 440 Trustpilot reviews – at a quick count, of Eve. That's 8.8 reviews per day. Last time I mentioned this – covering Nov / December – it was sub 3 reviews a day. This is what I wrote Jan 7: 'trustpilot reviews for November and December fell slightly in number, to 2.6 approx per day.'

"Someone's soaking up these sells in the background ?"
– It's not me (wife would not forgive me..) even though I'm tempted at these prices.
So, three main shareholders selling, selling,selling. Is it because they can't be bothered to wait for Eve to prosper, or they doubt Eve will ever prosper?
I personally still think it can work out based on the information often repeated, but sometimes forgotten, here.

I enjoyed the first two series of Killing Eve. How does this series three end? And just when? (something tells she's not really dead)

Hi Pokerchips, I'm certainly not an accountant but happy to copy and paste this from Hargreaves Lansdown:
COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Eve Sleep breaks even in Q4 for first time
21 January 2020 09:20

You're welcome. Obviously I hope you're very wrong in the end!
– Sturrock has done what he said he'd do with the break-even in last quarter.

Sadly, Samkk looks to have called this most accurately so far. And samkk's been saying it for as long as I can remember.
On the plus side, James Sturrock has done almost everything (I think) that he said he would do – diversify and cut losses etc – when he joined. Current sp is obviously more a reflection of the fund managers' desire to dump the shares at almost any price, not just at 1.4p as it had looked for a few days. Results are out 24th March; maybe we should expect James S to deliver on this recent statement "We are well placed to make further significant progress in 2020, with a differentiated brand position, a broader product range than peers and ongoing improvements to the customer experience, supported by a lower cost base, a substantial cash balance and no debt."

What’s it like to work at eve, and what do staff think of the outfit... Found this:

perhaps an obvious point but the seller at the moment doesn't seem to want it to fall below 1.40/1.45/1.50. Bottom?
I can wait 5 years. Would rather get a decent profit in 5 years than lose almost everything now. Price could stay here for ages or change in a heartbeat. Looking at Eve and Casper together shows that logic is taking a back seat for now.

For me best chance of a decent return is if Eve has sustained period of breakeven and hopefully profitability, then perhaps takeover at a much higher sp than nowadays

Won’t March figures be fleshing out the bones of the update, so 2019 = ‘a loss that ended with a break-even period at the year end‘. Will they add any more on jan/feb?

My point was that it seems to imply they were genuinely busy (selling stuff) rather than the number of reviews

Trustpilot: after no good reviews for a couple of weeks, they all just arrived. Noticed this one in particular:
'There were a few logistical problems due to purchasing at peak sale time. But the mattress is very well made and extremely comfortable. I am very happy with it.'

If I were management – and if have confidence in the outlook – I'd be doing my sums on how much I'd have to spend for a controlling interest.
Still, all eggs in one basket for management then, savings, jobs etc. but could have it for the price of a couple of London houses – and more cash than it would cost, held in the company bank account.
