Warning - Dixon's refurbished rubbish
A word of warning to anyone intending to purchase "Refurbished" items (especially PC's and Laptops and other electronic goods) from Dixons stores and Dixons Online. My experience will hopefully serve as a cautionary tale to others. Last week I ordered a refurbished laptop from Dixons online. As an IT consultant of over 20…

Parcel left in 'safe' place by hdnl - yeah right!
Just a note to warn anyone ordering from Amazon in the upcoming festive period (and at all other times!). I ordered two books from Amazon on Sunday and while delivery is super quick (I always opt for the free 2-4 business days option) it's not safe! The courier hdnl decided that it was a safe place to leave the parcel…

Royal Snail
I am so angry I could kill! Since 8th November I have had precisely 5 deliveries of mail, when normally I receive mail every day! I am missing 7 packages sent by Amazon with estimated delivery dates of 19th and 20th November, 4 parcels that were sent on 12th and 13th November by other businesses, and I won’t even try and…

Dixon's refurbished rubbish
I'd be interested to find out from others their experience of purchasing "Refurbished" items from Dixons stores and online. Also how well or badly they've been served by their after-sales service. Looking elsewhere on review sites of stores, it seems they don't fare too well. I recount my own experience as a cautionary…

Air France rant
Hi Guys, Just want to give you all a heads up about Air France's customer service. A couple of weeks ago I was flying back from Goa, via Paris. The flight from Paris, home to Aberdeen was overbooked, and they were announcing that they were looking for volunteers to go home on the next flight. They were offering anyone…

John Lewis
Hey Guys I never often complain to companys unless I think the service I get is really poor but I think this is below standard. I ordered a Tumble Dryer from John Lewis which was £215 and a Washing Machine which was £249 which was fine the tumble dryer was on special at £215. Now today my mother (who stays with me.) calls…

Ridicolous!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-11821439 Tragic yes but how exactly should the school have acted to prevent this? Seems you can't even have tragic accidents these days.

Rant - The ignorance of some people!
I was in Debenhams having a browse for gifts. Three staff members were walking past me, obviously talking about some event or other as I heard one of them say: "Yes but the customers spoiled it", to which another replied, rather loudly: "Customers spoil everything though". Needless to say, I left without buying a damn…

God for the Day
Reading some of the threads reminded me about the old game "what would you do if you were God for the day....." Personally I would make all Reality Shows and all polticians disappear. Not forgetting all the bankers too of course! Any more ideas?:A

Shock - Praise for SKY
Right, my first SKY installation was pretty rubbish. Only 2 bolts holding the dish on, dish directly above front door, stroppy engineer with the hump about parking restrictions on my road, luminous white cable down the wall, broken bricks and damaged lead flashing. Cue one vexed landlord agent. I emailed SKY on Saturday…

Parcel2Go could not be bothered - BEWARE!
'Can't be bothered' should be their motto! Excuse me while I have a rant. I wanted to send a parcel last Friday to be delivered on Saturday so I paid £24 to do so on Parcel2Go and I think that's a handsome amount. Apparently it doesn't get you much of a guarantee. Parcel2Go didn't even try to deliver it on Saturday! The…

Can customs legally do this?
Hi Everyone? I purchased an electrical item within the EU about a year ago and paid VAT on it at the time. It recently started playing up so I contacted the manufacturer in Canada and they said that if I send it back to them, they will send me out a replacement unit. This I did and they sent me a replacement unit. Despite…

Samsonite UK
A few years ago (about 4 or 5), I purchased a Samsonite hard suitcase from a shop in the USA. All samsonite products have a 10 year worldwide guarantee, but to avail yourself of this, you must be able to provide a copy of the original receipt. (which is fair enough). One of the side locks on the case recently became very…

Indesit
Would just like to give some praise regarding Indesit. My Nan bought a brand new gas cooker from Argos, was thrilled with it, only issue was it was supplied with just the one shelf, with room/ holes inside for more. I thought after spending a large amount of money for the cooker it should have come with two! Not enough as…
