Bogus posts
Sorry, wasn't sure how to title this thread. Just a moan really about the amount of what I would call bogus posting lately. You know the sort, a series of people (usually long term users with hundreds, if not thousands of posts to their name) add to a thread berating a company or product. Then, surprise, surprise, someone…

For all you meat lovers out there, a suggestion
Hi all The supermarkets have killed off our local butchers businesses all over the country and you are hard pressed to find one still open. I would like to suggest that you try and hunt out a local farm butcher shop, which are springing up now everywhere. Approx 18 months ago, on a country drive 30 mins away from home, we…

Shop Sizing
Just a bit of a vent really and to see if anyone else had similar problems. Usually I buy all my jeans from Dorothy Perkins and depending on the styling I'm a size 12 or 14. My jeans were looking really tatty so just thought I would get a cheap pair to tide me over. Went into Primark and took a size 12 and 14 to the…

Moss Bros Sale Warning
My boyfriend bought a reduced Hugo Boss jacket (£399) and tried to take it back to Moss Bros the day after he bought it, having tried it on at home properly. Apparently they don't do refunds on sale items, and indeed after looking, you can see they have stamped that on the receipt (not printed). I know we take being able…

Vent - Sky Refer a Friend Vouchers
Back in November we arranged to have Sky installed in our new house. We were referred by my brother in law who is already a customer and the email we received promised us each £50 M&S vouchers. My BIL got his £50 voucher within a couple of weeks and was able to buy his Xmas food with it. We heard nothing so last week gave…

So annoyed with Comet
Just had to post this as I'm really annoyed with the way Comet have handled my order... I ordered a Kenwood Food Processor for £51, on 6th Jan. The product was selling on Amazon for same price but I decided to order from comet as you could choose a delivery day. I selected Friday 14th as I knew I would be in... Phone call…

ASDA Food is ABSOLUTE CODSWALLOP
Well Freddie and Freda were out yesterday a little longer and normally we go and get some buns, cheese and ham from a local supermarket, butter ‘em up ourselves and make buns. Well yesterday we could not find a decent shack, so had to resort to ADSA, no problemo there. WRONG! The place was full of CHAVVY foods, pizza,…

Play.com and Hermes delivery
I ordered a USB 500 GB hard drive from Play and this morning found the parcel dropped over my 8 ft back garden wall by Hermes delivery. I don't even know if I should bother opening the package. Of all the parcels to drop it had to be a hard drive. I could open it and try it but what if something goes wrong later down the…

T-Mobile's £30 M&S voucher offer
In December when buying certain PAYG phones they had an offer of £30 M&S vouchers. Recived the "vouchers" today and they are an assortment of "£2 off a £20 spend" £5 off a £50 spend" etc Is it me or are they really taking the pi$$ here EDIT. I think I have received separate shareholder vouchers and these are not the…

M&S have failed me....
I ordered some furniture from M&S for a bargain price. I checked the stock before ordering and there were plenty of items left. I also received an email confirmation of my order. They have since emailed me with a 'woolly' explanation that they cannot fulfil my order because of a problem with their website, M&S have…

Missing £30 M&S vouchers from T-Mobile
T-Mobile were offering £30 M&S vouchers if you purchased selected PAYG mobiles in December. When the promotion ended they lowered the prices of the phones. They were supposed to be sent out within 7 days. T-Mobile don't seem to have sent out any yet and are blaming it on delays by a supplier. I'm also still waiting for £5…

Nigerian Paypal scam
I recently put a post on gumtree selling my blackberry as i hated it... i got an email literally within about 30 minutes of putting the ad up from a guy who said he worked at Bristol airport and he couldn't get over to pick it up. He said he would pay via paypal and offered me £280 inc postage. I thought great! Then he…

Is http://www.raybanonlineshop.com safe?
Has anyone brought off this site, I cannot see an address however there is an e-mail address/phone number on their site. The prices seem to be good to be true. I did a dud purchase, and it allowed me to buy 2000 pairs of the same sunglasses! I don't think most department/online stores would have that quantity of just one…

Praise for Lush Cosmetics
I recently got a large Lush Legends gift box. Unfortunately it had been packed really badly and one of the bath bombs things was totally smashed to bits and had covered the rest of the stuff and some of the other loose items were damaged. Lush have a policy of trying to use as little packaging as possible but this was…

What Happened to "The Customer is always right"
Just had a Council Tax Final Warning, lots of red print, threatening court action! I was late paying my last payment for the year! Apparently this automatically generates a threatening letter, court action could follow! Wow, seventeen years of straight payment, and I deserve to be treated like a criminal, less than two…

PRAISE for COMET!!
Yep, you read that right. Comet. Perfect service from them. Ordered a fridge freezer online, for an excellent, competitive price. They were the only ones with the fridge freezer available in stock. Two very polite delivery blokes delivered when they said they would and they took all the wrapping away and put the appliance…

Amazon/computer storing details of credit card etc
Another story of a 4 year old buying stuff online without parents knowledge. OK, slight exaggeration, he is 14 and had my permission. But it is possible. I bought some stuff from Amazon before Christmas, all delivered and given as pressies. Today my grandson asked if he could buy something from Amazon that one of his…
