Boots the Chemist: Excellent
Just a passing bit of praise for Boots. I was out shopping today and happened to look at their sunglasses since the plastic curved slip on arm bit had been lost from mine a few days ago, it's been coming off for ages and I just slide it back on. They have the same sun glasses in there which are Boots' own make. I was…

Tesco: Save 3p per litre of fuel. We'll also increase prices by 3p per litre...
So, good old Tesco giving us till-spits for our petrol. 3p off per litre... a nice gesture perhaps to reassure customers following recent events. But when the price at the pumps also increases by 3p it begins to hit home that it's just another marketing ploy designed to fool the less alert customers into a false sense of…

LX Direct Headache
Hi all, I am half venting, half looking for advice! I purchased a play bed for my son from the LX Direct website at the beginning of January, and it has still not been delivered. After phoning up one month after purchasing it I was told that the bed (which the website stated 3 weeks delivery) was out of stock and that from…

Wrong Venue...
Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this, but I wrote to the company below over a week ago and have had no response. I just wondered if there's something else I can do? The following letter explains the problem/situation! I've blanked out details. I hope that makes sense. Any ideas? :)

Peacocks
Well I certainly won't be shopping there again. I bought a skirt for a gig on the 1st, took it back to uni (uni is an hour from home), got changed, had a drink and went to the gig. Around an hour and a half/two hours from putting the skirt on, I go to the loo and lo and behold, the button comes off! Took it back on the 8th…

Returning Item To A Store
Not so much "venting anger" really, just wanting some advice. I purchased a Wireless Router from a seller on ebay for £35 a few weeks ago. It worked great out of the box but a week later developed an intermittant fault. The manufactuers have agreed to take it back and look at it but obviously, due to the nature of the…

AOL, what customer service!
This is a long post about my saga with AOL, which isn't over yet. I've now decided that I have to go down the route of taking it much further as it isn't on the way I have been treated. Basically I've moved house and decided that I would like broadband, so I decided to sign up online for AOL. I did so and it all went…

Hi, I am currently in contact with a guy who is obviously attempting to defraud me. However I don't know who to report it to. I don't want to let him get away with it, by just closing off. Any suggestions please ?

red dot advertising company?
My uni student son runs a small website design business in his spare time (of which he has very little at the moment). Sometime last year he remembers getting a phone call from a company called red dot who wanted him to place an advert on one of these wall planner things. He only remembers expressing a vague interest and…

Hotels.com
I recently booked 6 rooms via the hotels.com website for £752. The site has a price promise and you are told on booking that a £13.50 cancellation/amendment fee applies. All seems fair and above board. I have since found the same rooms for £576. Some difference there! Back on hotels.com I find that the price promise is…

HELP Urgently required - Inefficient accountant!
If anyone can offer me and help or advice I would be extremely grateful. The basic facts - I live in a development of 14 flats. The residents formed a limited company....I am not entirely sure of the reason for this, as it was done before I purchased my flat, but I understand this gives us certain rights and protections as…

Tesco's Pertwood Farm cereal - organic rip off
The last few years have been enjoying Pertwood Farm Fruit and Seeds cereal from Tesco's. My partner wanted to avoid wheat and it fits the bill. However, the price of the old 750g Fruit and Seeds cereal went up from £1.75 to £2.00 in Tesco's in February and now the new REDUCED SIZE 650g product has gone up from £2.00 to…

Valueflora - breach of security of personal details
Just a warning - my sister was ordering flowers yesterday and somehow got all my personal details up on her PC. She doesn't know my log-in details and I've never used her PC to order. It also brought up the personal details of the person I last sent flowers to. :eek: I've written to the managing director and await his…

3 Mobile / Phones 4 U Scam?
Last November I signed up to an 18 month contract with 3 through a Phones 4 U store. The monthly charge was £45 however there was a 50% discount on the tariff for the first 6 months and I was assured by the Phones 4 U sales person that at the end of this period I could downgrade my tariff to £25 a month. When I tried to…

Say they must go in the skip !!!!! Amazing…

Do bmibaby know what they are doing?
E-mail received on Sunday: OK - all very well. Clicked the link, accepted the change in times. E-mail received today: Anyone notice the deliberate mistake? The two e-mails give EXACTLY THE SAME revised flight times, but the second one tells us to ignore the first one. D'oh! And as we booked four flights (2 each, there and…

LA Sh*tness - Don't Join!
Bascially he signed up for a gym membership for 12 months. He was told this is a direct debit not a standing order and so once the 12 months are up the membership direct debit will cease. It was a joint membership him and his girlfriend; his girlfriend signed the form for the membership (accepting that if it is not…

Royal Mail lost my recorded post - or not
Track and trace is still not showing an item I posted via recorded mail over 3 weeks ago. This is now officially lost, but the company I sent it to says they have received it. So it appears that Royal Mail has only lost the proof of delivery. :confused: However, trying to find out what has happened is a nightmare. The…

Bargain Crazy - Update your stock!!!!
:mad: :mad: This is one of my biggest pet hates.... You go shopping on an internet site and you see something you'd like (makes it all that much better when you have a code for 75% off), it says 'in stock' so you put it in your basket. Then you see something else that you kinda 'half-like' but hey, you're already paying…
