Book People/Parcelnet.
Has anyone had any problem with The BookPeopole, or their courier of choice - Parcelnet? I thought they were a reputable company but oh no!!! As soon as I order from them, my opinion changed. Having said that, the problem seems to be with Parcelnet, but the way TBP have been fobbing me off, they are partly to blame too.…

Royal Mail - How Long should I wait for compo claim
About 5 weeks ago I sent off a compensation claim to Royal Mail along with a certificate of posting (My only copy as my scanner was broken at the time). They've still not replied, so how long should I allow. I suppose it will be pointless now with no C-O-P. It looks like they have lost the claim as well as the orginal…

This week I received a letter from Parcel Force demanding not only the VAT (£13.38), but also a Clearance Fee of £13.50. How did PF…

Zanussi Washing Machine keeps breaking
I bought a Zanussi washing machine in September last year to replace a trusty Bosch washer that was years old and had finally died. The Zanussi has been nothing but trouble. It keeps sticking mid-cycle. Sometimes it drains after a rinse then just stops. You think it's finished and open the door and everything is soaked as…

Hot UK Deals more a gripe than a 'vent'
Been registered with HUKD for a while and get the emails when a deal becomes available. Recently (since the change of the site), I've started receiving emails from every man and his dog, not just when theres a decent deal, but if someone wants to sell an old game or something equally as random. I've had a look on the site,…

British Gas took 5 weeks to repair boiler, can I get compensation?
Our boiler broke down before Christmas and British Gas took 5 weeks and 6 visits to complete the repair under our Homecare Service. Their excuse is it took time to get the parts.
