Vent/Warning - BrandAlley
I shopped from the BrandAlley website for the first time last week, ordering a pair of Hunter Wellington boots. On the website it was advised to get a size down from your usual size which is what I did, but when they arrived, they were too small. I had already checked that you were able to return them but I have only found…

My Palaver with Mobiles.co.uk
I appreciate that this is probably to be expected from an internet-only, low-priced mobile company (even one that is subsidiary to Carphone Warehouse), but still, this story may help someone: August I searched on price comparison websites and selected a deal that looked attractive on an LG Optimus 3D through mobiles.co.uk.…

Inconsiderate Parents
Went to Lakeside last night to have dinner on the Boardwalk, we sat outside and whilst it's not the nicest place in the world, the water was calm, the sun was setting and the place was nice and empty. About half way through the meal a woman came out with 2 small kids who proceeded to run round and round in circles…

Car Insurance comparisons
Just felt the need to have a vent. Today our car insurance was up for renewal, so I have spent the past few weeks and days getting the best possible quote. We have recently changed our car, so we were expecting it to be higher, but when our renewal came in, we were shocked to say the least, £1400!!! So I hit the comparison…

Currys Delivery (Knowhow.com)
Not so much a rant, but an award ceremony. I must give the 'most pointless and useless customer interaction' award to Knowhow.com - Curry's delivery services. Last week I ordered a cooker from Currys on-line. Delivery is for today. Last night their delivery and installation company, knowhow.com, called me at 7 to tell…

Hi If your an anime fan you may have noticed a site called AnimeUnited(dot-co-dot-uk) because they have appeared on some price comparison websites for DVDs (against official vendors).

Vent: Sold Fake Vodka in CostCutters
Hi, Just venting here. Bought a bottle of vodka Friday night from Costcutters near London Bridge, Southwark. It was a cheap £7.99 bottle so expected some random Russian brand or something equally disgusting. As the bottle was behind the shelf I could not see the label etc. They ran the product through as "grocery items"…

Called Hermes to question it - told I have to contact the company I ordered the item from if there's been a mistake with delivery, despite the fact that I have the card, with the name of their courier etc on! I…

Door Knockers
Is it just me or do they seem to now be doing a door version of the phone call thing where they dial loads of numbers and speak to the one that picks up first? This has happened to me twice this week, I have a new born and am a bit slow, but not ridiculously slow, to answer the door but it seems that they knock on my…

PC World
Buy from PC world online and you can pay extra for a specific delivery date and time. £10 in fact but worth it for peace of mind and convenience. But what happens when that computer doesn't turn up. Well you can ring the PC World 'if there's a problem just ring us' number on one of their many conformation emails and…

Are these trainers fake?
Sorry, first attempt at posting an image. I bought these from ebay about 4 months ago, but worn them very littel and even then only for going out - no walking or football etc. The black has worn off exposing red underneath. Are they fake? How do I find out for sure? I paid good money for these. Thanks…
