Huge praise to Javari.co.uk >>
I bought a pair of Frye Veronica Shortie's boots from them with the 25% off on the 8th, they arrived yesterday, but one of them had a mark on them. I called them and they sent out a new pair which just arrived!! YAY. I just have to say how nice the lady was and how quick it's been. Got to wait for my refund though, but…

Beware M&S refunds
I recently bought items from Marks using in one case an Oxfam voucher and in the other a Brafit voucher. When I returned a couple of items I noticed that you only get a percentage of the full price refunded even though the items I kept would still have qualified for the discount. Moral of the story is only spend the…

I love Lidl!
I go to Lidl about once a week, it's always the same branch as it's just down the road. Today I was in another area of the city and there was a Lidl across the road so we went there instead. I thought it would take us a bit longer to shop there as we didn't know this one. It was set out exactly the same as the one we…

Day in the life of Bob - Dealing with HMRC Customs
I am waiting to receive an item back from the US having been repaired for free under warranty. The company repairing it has sent it back urgently as it's needed pronto. It is exempt from customs charges. Knowing my awesome luck, I was wary of UK customs, so made sure the manufacturer wrote it clearly on the customs form,…

Yodel - shockingly bad - email address anyone?
Bought from an online retailer purely because they do next day delivery and the next day is the only time someone will be available for delivery. Call the retailer to place the order because I know delivery is difficult at my address due to security gates and a complex buzzer system. Retailer speaks to Yodel (ex-DHL part)…

Beware Ideal World Phone Charges
We recently bought an item from the shopping channel Ideal World. They have a premium rate phone line for ordering, which we were aware of before we rang them but thought little of it at the time. When we received our phone bill, the call was priced at £2.83, the result of 12 minutes on the phone to them. To establish the…

Warning - Samsung Galaxy S2 is not sweat tolerant
Hi all - just to inform; my wife bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 and listened to music on it whilst doing 30 min daily workout on exercise bike. Approx 30 days from owning it, the device bricked overnight; apparently according to Carphone Warehouse, from 'water damage'. The lady in the shop said they've had phones damaged by…

Some of you may be aware of the 4 hr parking rule in hospital carparks, all of which are monitored by CP plus in Scotland A very small number of staff were able to obtain parking permits. For the remaining staff there are about 30 spaces that dont have a time limit on them. This is meant…

Warning Tesco Groceries Online - Avoid Like the Plague
I have had a complete nightmare with Tesco's Groceries online. I ordered a food shop from them which had a guide price of £80 but when it arrived the driver had no documentation with him. I asked him how much it came to but he couldn't tell me but I foolishly signed for it thinking I could ring the customer service line…

Industrial Workers Office Scamming
I've received a phone call from a guy asking for my mum, claiming to be from the Industrial Workers Office. He had a broad northern accent, even though I'm in the north, I've never heard anything quite so strong! I heard the word industrial and the first thing that came to mind was that it was something to do with dad's…

Richer Sounds :(
Afternoon everyone, First of all, my apologies for this being my first post. I just wondered what people's experiences are of the above company? I seem to have nothing but bad luck. I decided recently I wanted to splash out on a new plasma, AV receiver and some surround speakers. I decided to visit my local store in Milton…

Wilkinsons - Good product
Have been doing a lot of painting recently and become very disappointed with the low quality of Harris brushes. They used to be very good, but they don't seem to be any more. I though I'd give Wilko's own brand premium brushes a go and was very pleasantly suprised - they were better then Harris!

Wilkinsons - bad product
I bought three pairs of internal door handles totalling £36 (so not expensive, but not the cheapest either). Although the external finish was apparently okay, on opening the packs, it was found that one in each pair was rusty inside (!). On one, the welded lug for the spring also broke right off as soon as the handle was…

Macdonalds large drink rip off
We nearly always pay 30p extra to get a large hot drink at mcd's. Yesterday the lad had poured a small instead so had to back and change it - all he did was pour it into a large cup and add a drop of water. So when we go home we checked the difference in cup sizes 0.1l = about 2cm in the bottom of the cup Now really mad…
