Mothercare...pirates!
Greetings all, At the end of August I ordered about £500 worth of furniture from Mothercare, on arrival a few weeks later I started to assemble one item and found a couple of pieces were damaged. So I rang Mothercare and explained to someone who said they would order some replacement parts for me, they said since it was a…

National tyres
A little miffed that the 10% off I got on the final bill was simply to offset a chargeable guarantee that, on hindsight, I wouldnt have bought in the first place! Angry with myself now for not thinking it through and doing my homework first :mad: None the less, will not use them again as I seemed to be a target to confuse…

Silent phone calls with number displayed
Hi, not sure if this is the right forum or not, but all day I have been getting silent phone calls from the number 0213537100. I did a search on google (Didn't phone it back, obviously!) and there are lots of "who is this?" messages, but no explanation. Does anybody here at MSE know what it's about?

MSE (i know!)
Why is it that there asre certain "cliques" on this forum and if your an ad-hoc poster your either ignored or treated rudely? So what if i dont check a certain board every single flamming day there's no need for it! I thought the point of this board was for advice/help/to point people in the right direction for…

Lakeland-really fast home delivery
I placed an order online with Lakeland on Sunday night, got an email saying it had been dispatched on Monday and it arrived today, I'm really impressed as I wasn't expecting it for a week or so-fantastic. It was also free p&p, not sure if that's standard for them or if it was because my order was over a certain amount.…

Dunelm Mill query
This is not quite a vent, praise or warning yet, but I would appreciate people's thoughts... I need some vertical blinds for a bedroom (preferably black out ones), so ordered a couple of free swatches/samples from Dunelm Mill to see what quality the material is. Ordered 18th October, and STILL waiting... Am I being really…

Cashback site issue......(Greasypalm)
Does anyone know how these c/back sites work in practice - ie what physically has to happen to receive payment? My problem is that a promised £70 cashback for taking out Morethan insurance is not being paid to me due to Insurer 'not validating' the transaction. But what does this mean in practice - contact ing the retailer…

Vent - Mothercare delivery
DW and I were at the Baby Show over the weekend and bought a pushchair and several other items for home delivery. My wife received a message from the couriers this morning saying that they would be there between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm. They finally turned up at gone 1 pm, only to leave the goods at the door claiming that…

ASDA re-sizing / re-pricing / product removal
As a regular customer of ASDA, it's come to my notice that there's a significant change in size / price and presence of many items. For example, much smaller portions in the store cafe - a bacon roll that used to contain 3 rashers, now contains 2, just about equivalent to a 30% price rise. Instant coffee drinks of all…

Flash one for all Sainsburys local
Flash one for all is currently 89p for 1L bottle in Wilkinsons. Reduced from about £3 something. Went in to Sainsburys local and it was £10.99 for the 500ml bottle. The two shops are right next door to each other as well. :eek:

Toyota gearbox replacement
Just a vent. We bought a three year old Corolla Verso on an 05 plate from Cargiant in London a couple of years ago. An utterly boring car, useful only for the fact it has two optional seats in the boot. We occaisionally had trouble getting it into gear... Less than five years old and under 100k miles, something went wrong…

Other info on the site is years old. I wondered if things have changed - I know the law has been modified but I know nothing about…

M5 Roadchef
Stopped off at a M5 Roadchef services area in Devon £2.10 p for a mug of hot water with a teabag in it and a dash of milk, a cup of tea I think it's called. I declined and settled for just the expensive ham egg and chips. I don't do it very often and it is my choice, but never again.
