Tutankhamun unmasked
Not really a rip off but quite disappointing. We went to see the tutankhamun exhibition yesterday at the dome. Tickets costing £15 for each of us(3 adults) and £5 parking on top. OH has wanted to see Tuts treasure ever since his mum went to see the 1970's exhibition. It is cold in the dome and not much to do except find…

IWOOT: Not dispatched in time for Christmas
Hi, I placed an order on I want one of those (IWOOT) on 7th December as they were guaranteeing delivery in time for Christmas if you order before 18th December (I need it this weekend so thought that would be enough time). After a week I and no dispatch notice so I emailed and was told it would be dispatched soon (items…

Thanks to Tesco
Unfortunately I mislaid my reward vouchers attached to my last statement. Have probably mistakenly binned them along with other things. As the vouchers are numbered, I emailed Tesco asking whether they could be replaced. Received a very speedy reply back stating that although the vouchers can't be replaced, they will add…

Tesco Wine and their strange way of doing things
I ordered a case of 6 Andre Carpentier bottles of champagne from them early last week, and the only delivery slot available was for Sunday the 23rd. I booked that one as we have friends family coming over Christmas. A couple of days later it was listed as 'out of stock' on the site. We thought surely this wouldn't affect…

Amazon - very speedy return
Myself and my wife bought a Raleigh bike for our son and when it arrived there was some kind of defect which meant we couldn't get the front wheel on. We were worried as we had little time to send it back and get another one. We followed the returns instructions on the site, put in a request for the shipping company(DHL)…

Tesco.com - rearranged delivery
Watch out if Tesco.com phone you to say they're not going to be able to manage to deliver to you (they've done it to me 4 times now). If you buy stuff with special offers on and the new delivery date is a day or so later, you may not get the special offer price. I bought two boxes of Finish Quantum dishwasher tablets cos…

Please can any good person out there give me some advice, I am FURIOUS. On 10th December I called a company WHEESH to order a decanter set for my other half for Xmas. The poor lady on the phone was full of a cold and as it was just a few mins before closing I offered to place the order on-line, made no difference to me but…

Vent - Cornhill Insurance
I have been called 7 times a day for three weeks by an unknown company. When I answer the phone it hangs up. An 0145 number. I dialled the number to find that it was an Insurance Company trying to sell me home/car insurance and giving an 0800 number. So, finally fed up with the incessant phone calls I phoned the 0800…

Prudential free Green Flag cover: YOU MAY NOT BE COVERED - URGENT WARNING
In October of this year I took out a car insurance policy with Prudential. As has been well documented on MSE, Prudential were offering a year's Green Flag breakdown cover free with every policy during October. The instructions on their website explicity said "do not add breakdown cover as an optional extra during the…

I bought a tin of garden peas and when I opened them I found an entire intact white snail shell. I telephoned and the customer services lady at co op was ever so casual about it and she said "Well things do get through they are garden peas". She took the reference no of the can and said I,d recieve a letter and didnt…

Sainsburys reductions
I don't know whether this is a well-known ploy by Sainsbury's so my apologies if it's been done to death already. They currently have a range of McVities slices originally priced at £1.29 each or 2 for £2. These were then reduced to £1.04. The problem is that if you buy one, you get a reduction but if you buy two, they are…

Sunday trading hours??
OK, Wasn't really sure where this should belong so I thought here would be a good place to start. I work for a major UK retailer, and we (and all the stores) open 10-5 on a Sunday. Having done a little research on the net, I see that practically all stores only open 11-5 or 10-4 etc on a Sunday, due to the Sunday trading…

Clinique, misrepresenting Christmas gift sets, and illiterate customer service
Ordered a gift set of 4 lipsticks from Clinique, £20, 4x4g. I thought, what a good present, 4g is the full retail size of their lipsticks! Got it on 17th, inspected it, in a lovely little presentation case, but thought the lipsticks looked a bit small. Lo and behold, on the reverse is a sticker stating they are 2.4g each!…
