Very cross with play.com
On 4th Jan I ordered a Sony Bravia TV from play.com for £400 reduced from about £600 Since then the order has shown on the website as 'awaiting stock'. I emailed them today to find out what was happening as I've been waiting quite a while, only to be told that they had limited stock and it is no longer available. I can't…

Courier praise - SilverSprint
After seeing so many courier woes in this forum, I thought I'd pass on my satisfaction with SilverSprint's economy service. The Economy service is ideal if you're in no rush. Once a week, one or more vans does a loop of the country doing pickups and dropoffs along the way. The route(s) are planned the week before, based on…

Ambulance chasers - 'We have been told you've been in a car accident'
I remember there being a thread about this but have no idea what it's called or what keywords to search for so if this needs to be moved then please do! Got a phone call the other day from a guy who said that they are somehow affiliated with the government (lolz) and have been passed on my details because I have been in a…

Specsavers and disability - praise.
This may well be down to the individual optician rather than the chain as a whole, but I accompanied a woman with autism/severe learning disability to their first eye test today, and specsavers were brilliant. Took plenty of time, explained the limitations of what they were able to check given the person's difficulty in…

If I get one more 'International' call.......
:mad: Sick to the back teeth of international calls. So far this week I've 'won' 2 holidays, had the offer to fix my Windows pc, asked if my mobile contract needs updating (don't even have one) and I've just had the phone put down on me after answering 'no' when the bloke asked if I received Sky through a dish. Rude git!…

Praise - Sweat Shop, Meadowhall
Went to the sweat shop in meadowhall today, looking for some running shoes as I have recently taken up running. Didn't really know what I was looking for but the very helpful assistant talked me through the different types of trainers, and they even did a test on a treadmill to analyse the best sort for me. I was also…

RBS Vent - Mis-selling Royalties accounts
let me say first of all I have no time for parents who come on here and rant about how the world is so unfair for their adult children. I'm now about to become one! :mad: My 18 year old daughter has just told me about her meeting with RBS. She was called in for a meeting because as she is now 18 she does not qualify for…

Praise for a customer!
So a customer came in today returning a kettle which had broken, she claimed she had purchased the extended warranty but had misplaced the reciept, but this customer was different from the usual, when I told her It would be difficult to do much without the reciept, instead of throwing a childish fit on customer services,…

Morrison's quality going downhill
I normally shop at Morrison's because they have a wide variety of decent food. I especially like their fresh fruit and veg. However, since they have had their "price crunch" promotion, everything seems to have gone downhill. For some background, I am a list shopper. That means I bring a shopping list to the store and buy…

Good old John Lewis
I bought one of our daughters a netbook for her birthday on Monday. I ordered it online before noon yesterday, paid £9.95 for next day delivery before 10.30, and got it this morning at just after 9am. I'm very impressed. In all the years of internet buying I've never had such good service. No, I don't have any connection…
