Argos online orders
Anyone got any advice for my MIL? She bought a futon. The frame was correct, the matress incorrect. She has spent forever trying to get the matress replaced through email and phone. The phone call resulted in a replacement matress getting delivered...the same incorrect matress. The delivery guys were obviously fed up she'd…

Credit card letter - under age
Today my daughter has received one of those junk mail application letters from Mint credit cards. Problem is she's 12. I've no idea why they would send a 12 year old this, is there something I can do? Surely this is illegal?

Delivery Services.....
...or more specifically City Link. I thought you couldn't get much worse than Parcel Force but these clowns take the biscuit. I was expecting a delivery on Friday and (as it happens) my wife was able to be in all day. Since some of the stuff we were waiting for was for her she was happy enough to hang about for the van.…

NHS AfC job matching
Well? How's it going? I'm still waiting, not being greatly reassured by other colleagues who have been matched to bands below their existing salaries. Many are going to appeal. We were told, at the beginning, that at least 95% of staff would either be better off or at least achieve parity, I've yet to meet one happy member…

Why?
Do people post the same thing twice. Not read Martin's please read this first note. Complain about slow responses on email night. Get angry because not everyone thinks there right. Better stop now. I score 50% of the above:o

They had it marked as "In Stock" so I ordered it and chose and paid a premium for "Express Next Day delivery". However it's Thursday today and they still have not despatched it - called them up yesterday and…

Superb service - they had a White Zinfandel Savvs had been looking for in this country for ages without success. I ordered a case of 6 and they turned up by courier 2 days later - I would have had them sooner if I'd ordered before 3pm.

For Goodness Sake.........What do I do????
Following divorce and the hostilities that followed and to signal the start of a new life I decided to return to my maiden name - pretty simple you'd think. Well no-one will change anything without proof, not the banks, the credit card, student loan company, nothing. OK - I decide to change my passport first. Waited for…

A pat on the back for BP
Whilst trying to redeem a bonus Nectar points voucher for 100 Nectar points at a BP garage recently - the staff refused to accept it saying they were not a BP garage. This was despite the whole place being painted up in BP colours and logos and the fact they accepted my Nectar card for the purchase of petrol. I emailed BP…

A refund was issued in less than 24 hours.…

Recorded delivery
Have sent three things off recorded delivery in the past year. They have never appeared as being delivered on the Royal Mail website. One did as year previously! Re-use of references I'd guess. Is this normal? Is there any point using this service? :beer:
