Avanquest
Kudos to Avanquest, I ordered Family Tree Maker Platinum (massive discount and 6 mnths free for ancestery.co.uk) at about 3.30am on Thursday morning, normal delivery, it said 5-7 working days, it arrived Saturday morning. I have used Avanquest before for computer software, but nothing beats this delivery service. Well done…

GAME.co.uk not replying to emails?
I ordered a game from Game.co.uk last Sunday. The tracker says the item was shipped on Wednesday but as of today I still have not had the item delivered. Does this place usually take this long to deliver? I have contacted them by the Contact Us link twice already over the last two days but not yet received a human reply.…

Big thumbs up to Unilever, the manufacturers of Peperami. I bought a packet of five from Tesco on Sunday, i got home to discover there were only four in the packet. In the scheme of things, it's not really a problem but i like getting what I pay for :p . I emailed on Monday, got a response on Tuesday and by Friday, a…

CEX going insolvent rumour - how to verify?
Further to this thread, I have been trying to contact CEX via phone all afternoon. I spent an hour on one number, just holding, and 30 minutes on the other number, just holding.

Excellent service from Dualit
Thought I'd pass on the great service I had from Dualit. Recently descaled my Dualit jug kettle and the mesh on the filter split. Googled spares on the internet and came up with a replacement from Spares2Go costing £5.01 inc P&P. That was fine (after all the kettle wasn't cheap) so placed an order. The money got taken…

Barclays hopeless customer service
I know, it's my own fault for having a crap current account with uncompetitive interest rates. But the least Barclays could do is make up for that by offering good customer service. Instead what I get is... ...failing to register change of address twice, even after I've been into the branch... sending my statements and my…

My Debit Card was cloned to the tune of about £2000, I phoned Nationwide to report that money was being…

PC World laptop battery checks
If anyone is unlucky enough to have a battery stop charging in their laptop DON'T take it to PC World. I took it in where they charged me £14.99 to check the mains power lead, apparantly they don't check the battery itself, which they told me was working fine and it was either my battery or the battery charge unit. I went…

Have to vent somewhere so thought why not here! I keep getting automated letters from my bank telling me they've tried to contact me about one of my accounts which I know they haven't as I'm at home all day and I've never once received a call from them. The letter goes on to ask me to contact one of the managers at the…

I never used it and forgot all about, the monies were originally taken from a credit card which expired last year. at the same time I also changed web supplier and a new email. The company Strato couldn't…

Ridiculous food labelling for UK customes only
I bought a jar of gherkins at Aldi and whilst the ingredients are listed in ten languages, only the English translation says they must be consumed within three days! What utter rubbish. Does this not apply to our European friends too, or is ther some magic ingredient for Europe.:mad: In any case, I keep them for weeks in…

Eon rip off
How about this one? Eon sent me a bill for £1300 in early December and it took until early January for them to apologise because they'd got the reading wrong from my electric meter. They have just done the same again. Transposed the most significant digit by one. therefore 44198 becomes 54198. Over £1000 please. Threats of…
