Faulty Aqualisa Shower Nightmare
Completely refurbished my bathroom in the summer of 2005 and trying to save money bought all the stuff myself, then just paid for the plumber to install them. On advise from him I bought an Aqualisa Quartz concealed digital pumped shower. They are a quality product and come with a 5 year guarantee - so thought I was safe.…

Another Dell Nightmare
I'm absolutely fuming right now and it's all down to Dell and their courier service, Walsh Western. I ordered a Dell 6 days ago (online). I received the order confirmation and my credit card was billed. The days went by and I kept an eye on the website, watching my desktop go from being built, to pre-delivery to final…

Barbour
Years ago, I used to wear a Barbour jacket for outdoor work. Eventually, after some rough wear, there was a problem with the zip. I'd had the jacket for quite a long time and didn't have a receipt. I got in touch with the company who asked me to send it back. They not only repaired it, but rewaxed it - it came back to me…

Poor advice at Carphone Warehouse.
The battery in my mobile phone (payg) has started to run down very quickly, it is switched on all day but it hardly gets used so I returned to Carphone Warehouse where I originaly bought it some 5 years ago to see if I could get another battery. Imagine my shock when told that they would have to order one and it could take…

Virgin Media
I've been trying unsuccessfully to sign up with them for broadband for the past couple of weeks. After my saga with AOL finished I decided that my best deal was Virgin and that was that. So I signed up with them, waited the 9 days to find out it failed as AOL didn't remove their tag from the line. So I phone BT and the…

Co-Op Local - card debited twice
Found out through my mis-fortune today that if you pay for goods using a debit/credit card at one of these shops, and they charge your card twice in error, they are not authorised to credit your card back - instead i was instructed to call their careline (freephone #) and they do it from there after investigating with the…

Plasma TV - been away for repair 6 weeks, No ETA - what are my rights?
Last july I took delivery of 42" Fujitsu-Siemens Plasma TV. Initially it was great, but then i noticed the picture started to degrade (some sparklies at the top right of the display & also skin tones took on a pink 'burn wound' look!) In February it all got too much, so i raised a fault call. It's a two year warranty…

Gellibaff - Please don't buy it
My son has been looking for gellibaff for a few weeks since he saw it advertised on tv, I found it today. It contains a sachet you add to bath water which turns it a different colour and to a jelly (more like silicone crystals), then another sachet that turns it back to water. Seems like great fun? Think again! For…

Japanese Kitchen
I love cooking Japanese food and was delighted to find what seemed to be a nice supplier of some of the harder to find things - The Japanese Kitchen. They seem to have a shop in Putney and a nice website. I placed a large order with them [over £100]. It took longer than expected - they were out of stock of some items - but…

Hint: search these boards before you order - selectcheaper.com
Seriously peed off with selectcheaper.com, but if I'd searched these boards before I'd ordered I could have avoided falling into the same trap as others. My wife's grandfather died last week and we were asked by his widow to arrange the music she wanted for his funeral tomorrow. One of these was a obscure military 'song'…
