Slapiton cosmetics - Avoid
I ordered somethings from Slapiton in May - they took my money, but so far nothing has arrived. Despite numerous phonecalls to a contact number, I have never made it past - "all or operators are busy" which seems to loop incessantly. I've also tried emails - but I've never received any communication. Avoid Avoid Avoid

Tesco Express could mean Tesco Excess!
Am I missing something or should the prices in Tesco Express stores be price checked to those of their larger grocery stores? That late night dash could cost you dear as we discovered last night. A standard bunch of bananas, strawberries (despite being on special offer of two for one) tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches and…

Orange World (interent) capped prices
My lad has just fallen foul of this. Look at the Orange web site and it says that internet access is capped at £2 day. But, apparently, unless you register for this free offer you get charged the old rate which works out very expensive. Nowhere on the web site on the Orange World pages does it say anything about the need…

Tesco Home Delivery
We've had several Asda home deliveries and we've never been entirely satisfied as there's always been loads of missing items or substitutions or things packed so stupidly (one item to a bag/all glass together in one weak bag, heavy things squashing light things) that we stopped completely and battled the shops. Having a…
