Amazon
I refused an order from them yesterday that a courier tried to deliver as it had been mangled on route and the contents damaged. I gave Amazon a ring to explain and a helpful bloke there said it would be sorted. Less than 24 hours later a replacement order has arrived via parcel force. Tip top service :T :T

At one point, a voicemail message was left following a missed call from this number, saying I should phone a different number (sure it mentioned…
