Nice one 7digital.com
Had my kids nagging me to download the album Now 81. A 2 CD album with 21 tracks on each disc. So, off I went to 7digital.com and ordered it, decided to pay via Paypal. While going through the Paypal process something went awry and although payment was taken only 13 tracks of the 42 track download was available for me. I…

Rude Customers >:(
There must be something in the air where I live at the moment. Because this has by far been the worst month I've worked since I got my first job 7 years ago in retail. Retail just seems to be full of miserable, dumb, rude people who are out to give you a bad time. 1: Receipts. KEEP THEM. Don't throw them away. Don't bring…

Royal Mail: Signed For a waste of time. . . literally
We sent off an RAC breakdown subscription on April 12th by Signed For. The RAC still hasn't received it. The reason why the RAC has not received it is because when we go online to Royal Mail and enter the 13-character reference number for that Signed For letter, Royal Mail announces: We have your item. Item number…

'Surveyor' Ignored my No Sales Sign
Yesterday I received a visit from someone wearing a lapel badge bearing the name SAVINGS ADVICE LTD who then proceeded to ask about my cavity wall and loft insulation. I have no idea if they are a genuine company or not, but it does annoy me that these salesman think they can ignore my NO SALES CALLS notice by wearing an…

Domogsm.com - Scam website
No phone number. There's a real address but it looks as if it's been chosen at random. Same for the completely different address on the Domain Registration. Faked registrant's name on there as well. The home page says that they accept credit cards and Paypal. All lies. The only payment method is bank transfer. This one's…

Electronics-over-deal.com - Scam website
As there are a number of scam electrical/electronic goods websites currently operating I thought I'd flag up some. Electronics-over-deal.com has no contact address or phone number. The only methods of payment are by evoucher or money transfer which are both extremely untrustworthy. The server's based in The Ukraine. They…

Hauck, via Kiddieko
I bought a Hauck travel system in February, through Kiddieko and recently there was a problem with the brakes. I was not happy, I thought I'd have to send the thing back, or have lengthy email conversations about it. I sent them an online enquiry form, and I was called back within 10minutes! The man from Kiddieko said he…

Praise - Simplehuman customer services
The catch on our Simplehuman bin broke last Sunday. I emailed them late on Sunday night to ask if it was fixable and, if so, how I go about getting a replacement. They emailed me back on the Monday to say that a replacement catch was in the post and to let them know if there were any more problems. It arrived today and the…

E.On - I'll stick with them for now......
I pay a fixed rate of £55 for both gas and electric. My most recent on line bill showed a debit of nearly £50 and told me that they were increasing my direct debit to £70 per month. :eek: I also recently received a text message telling me that an account review was due and if I called an 0800 number they'd do their best to…

Well done Currys!
Never thought I'd write this but well done to Currys. After my old Whirlpool double oven broke I ordered a Bosch one via their web site after visiting their store, at a great price better than other on-line retailers + 10% discount (from a MSE link), free next day delivery by two friendly chaps within the time window…

Share scam Greenwood Capital Investors
April 2012 - Greenwood Capital Investors, a supposedly US based company, is offering me a lot of money for some very low-value shares I hold in Oak Holdings Ltd. They claim to be agents for a company in a hostile take-over. They ring a lot and are very credible with an apparently valid website. FSA have confirmed they are…

Eventually a young lady left her till to try to help but everyone from that section had left at 6pm! So why aren't the…

Dodgy deliveries
Has this happened to anyone else? Today I received three parcels: 1. A Playstation controller, ordered through Amazon and delivered by Royal Mail parcels. 2. Some kind of extension lead, posted through Royal Mail special delivery and delivered by the same van. 3. Another extension lead or similar, delivered a few minutes…

Warning: Fishpond.co.uk
This site appears to be a UK business, advertises prices in pounds sterling and states free shipping. I purchased some cosmetics at what I thought was a good price only to be charged £13 extra by customs as the package was coming from USA! The company is not UK based and actually operates out of New Zealand!! How…

Fake reviews on large online shopping site?
Does anyone have some words of wisdom on getting fake customer reviews removed from a rather large online retailer.... (I won't mention the retailer unless a mod says I can) The 'reviewer' has posted loads and loads of reviews, nearly all of which are all for items manufactured by one company. All are 5 star, informative,…

Last twice that I went to Morrisons my mother bought me lilies. I like to have flowers in the sitting room especially in the summer. OH bought me lilies from ASDA for my birthday and they are full out now and I just took a photo. I now realise what's wrong with the lilies from Morrisons - they don't smell ! The ASDA lilies…

Oasis/Livingsocial
I had planned to ask advice today as to what to do next to obtain the refund I felt entitled to. Today they FINALLY gave in and just gave it to me (only a tenner but really became a matter of principle) to shut me up as I couldn't be silenced and threatenned to contact Trading Standards. So I am celebrating my £9.33…
