Homebase home delivery
I placed an order online for laminate flooring and two curtain poles on the 13th March. I had a delivery date for the poles, but the laminate flooring would be delivered within 10 days. The poles came on the correct date, so I waited for a phone call about the flooring. 12 days later and I'd heard nothing, so I gave them a…

Rant about Argos
I purchased a Sony Cybershot W350 Digital Camera from Argos. It states on the website 8x Digital Zoom (which is why I purchased this camera over another one). After using the camera, I've realized it does not have digital zoom at all, only 4x optical zoom. Went back to store, explained and they basically said 'on your…

Work at home scam
The text below is from the e-mail. It's based on that you bank the $4000 dollar cheque. The bank clears it in 4 days. You send off the $3600 by Western Union. The bank then says that the cheque was a forgery and your down $4000!! The e-mail penetrated 3 spam filters so must be fairly new way of doing it.
