Given the annoyance of many MSE regulars towards unsolicted phone calls from marketeers and the increasing use of Indian Call Centres as Customer Service centres what about the apparently new breed of 'animal', the Indian Call Centre that calls you for marketing purposes? Today (Sunday) I received a call from a young lady…

Sendit.com
Is anyone else having problems with sendit? I have 4 DVDs on order, one of them for three weeks (it was supposed to be a Mothers Day gift) and when I bought the DVDs they all showed in stock and I got a mail to say that the DVDs would arrive in 7-10 days. Then suddenly without warning the order status changed to 'out of…

Boots - lovely lady assistant
I was in the new Boots today at the glasgow fort. The place is too big in my opinion but a lovely asistant made up for all this today but her nice attitude.

I sent an e-mail 3 days ago regarding some Pampers Wipes which were completely dry at the top but sopping wet at the bottom. I had an immediate response back and £10 worth of vouchers in the post this morning. A great attitude from them and quite a result.

NAT WEST ...£100? Not Likely !
Nat West persuaded me to have a quote for a re-mortgage when I phoned for a balance on my current account. They explained that they had new deals and I couldn't lose as I would have £100 if they couldn't better my mortgage and they said they were very confident that they could. However they couldn't better it .....5.1 %…

No more Mrs nice guy!
A friend of a friend bought 2 guinea pigs. Then they realised they were hard work to look after, and you have to work with them to 'socialise' them. They were not prepared to look after them, and just wanted fluffy cute things to sit on their lap :rolleyes: They wanted rid of them, and finally I gave in and said I would…

Directplay.co.uk rip offs
Hi I needed some advice on a thieving company at www.directplay.co.uk. Before Xmas I ordered two PS2 games from them for my nephews, both turned up but one was obviously already a rejected game that they had sent back out again as it had it's returns notice in it and the DVD was faulty. I sent the faulty game back by…

Play.com
I have to say that customer service isn't one of the main reasons I shop on the web - it tends to be indifferent at best in my experience. So instead of my usual moaning, it's nice to be able to say something nice about a web retailer for a change. So here goes: Last week I ordered a copy of Karine Polwart's 'Faultlines'…

RECORDED (SIGNED FOR) DELIVERY POST: Why so !!!!!!?
I have used recorded signed for for some time but recently it really has gone down hill. I have packages just posted thru my door that are recorded and have had a pretty high percentage of items I send not arrive.

Kebab Konumdrum
This isn't really a rant, more of a question really. After reading yesterday about the 160 people who suffered food poisoning from a kebab shop, I was wondering why this doesn't happen more often. Donner kebabs are cut from an enormous skewer of meat that could have been on there for weeks being continuously reheated day…
