Helly Hansen Online Shop - delivery problem
Has anyone else had problems with this company? I ordered a specialist backpack as a present for my daughter on 10th November. Their delivery terms are 3-5 days. I had a confirmation email and the money was debited from my card. Last week I called them to see what had happened. Their sales assistant looked up the order…

Hermes/Parcelnet on Newsnight this week ..
I am a Hermes courier and can reliably inform you that Newsnight (Dec 1, 22:30, BBC2) will be discussing exploitation of so-called 'self-employed' Hermes couriers. One of our couriers will be involved. She had her work withdrawn by Hermes because she had to be admitted to hospital! Can't say any more than that at the…

Duracell Ultra batteries "powercheck" - joke?
I've just had to swap out the batteries on my Xbox 360 controller for some new ones, and in the process of doing so noticed something on the side of one of the fresh batteries. It says that if you press the two white dots on the battery it performs a 'power check' and lets you know how much energy is left in it. Cool, I…

Fake copies of Windows 7 on Ebay.
Watch out for counterfeit copies of Windows 7 Ultimate on Ebay! Almost all of them are fake. Also be on the alert for "MSDN" key copies of Windows that are bought as multiple-license bundles and resold as individual copies; they validate just fine but then they stop working when the seller cancels his MSDN subscription!…

Transco are a joke!
I am moving to an all electric flat next week, but have discovered that there is a gas supply in there, currently capped off and with no meter. After making some enquiries I discovered that I need an MPR number and that I would have to ring Transco to test if the supply was "alive or dead". I did this and an appointment…

M & S Customer Services....praise
It must be pretty rare to have an even more favourable impression of a company after a problem than before! The grabbit board has had some great M & S codes recently so I managed to get some extra Christmas presents online this past week. Delivery was very quick but when the order arrived, two of the items were badly…

Why should public sector be better off?
My nan has just retired at 65 after spending her working life doing a variety of cleaning jobs and shop assistant jobs - mostly on the minimum wage. She has to manage now on £97.65 a week. Well, she can't. So she has to do part time work wherever she can get it. I don't see why public sector people should retire at 60 (ha…

Building Surveyors
I had a survey done on a property just last Friday - couldn't believe the speed they turned the survey round on. They told me I would have the survey Friday night electronically and I did! And they were substantially cheaper than an alternative I tried. AND I got pics with my survey. I was & am most impressed! :j (I'm in…

What would you do?
Hi We went to a kids bday party this afternoon and parked at the local council owned leisure centre rather then the busy road, there were no signs saying only for users etc. It isn't in a town centre or anything. Anyhow we got back to the car at 4.30 and the centre closes at 5 but no-one was there and the carpark was…

Praise: New ID Studios oxford Circus
I bought a make over and photo shoot for DD and her friend for New ID (via lastminute). Bargain price of £12.50 each including a photo. I then did a few google searches on New ID and began to regret booking it, I don't think I found one positive review! But by then I had already given the voucher to DD so felt I had to go…

Parking fine
I'm sooooooooo mad! I had a parking fine of £30 on 15/9/10 that was reduced to £12 if paid within 14 days. I paid it on the 28/9/10 at £12 and thought no more of it. Today I received a letter from a debt collection agency for £71 stating that I had not paid the original fine. I went to the car parking office with my bank…

the Theatre Ticket Desk in Piccadilly - charged nearly 700%
I was charged nearly 7 times the price for a last minute ticket to a matinee of War Horse by the Theatre Ticket Desk in Piccadilly. They are in a booth in a building towards the Trocadero right on Piccadilly. The tickets turned out to be restricted view, when I had been told they were centre circle, so were worth only £10…

MacDonalds Hygiene!
Me, my partner and young brother (8) went to MacDonalds and bought 8 (yes we are greedy gits) cheese burgers to take home (which is about 20 odd miles away.) Upon taking out the horrible gherkin I found a finger nail in one of the burgers. I was nearly sick. I have sent a message to MacDonalds complaining about this but…

Beware of cheap ipods, iphones and ipads at mystorecbuy.info and mystorebuy.info
This site is advertising on Facebook: Too good to be true prices on Apple iphone, iPad, ipods etc - domain name is registered to an address in China: http://whois.domaintools.com/mystorecbuy.info All seems a bit dodgy to me! Doesn't say much about Facebook's advertising department either.
