Bloddy door salesmen!
We've got a sticker on our front door saying "ATTENTION: We do not buy or sell at this door". The doorbell just rang and there was a bloke there asking if we'd like a quote for energy efficient windows & doors. So I pointed at the sign and said "We do not buy or sell at this door.", to which he replied "I'm not selling,…

Cheater! (Vent)
I am really fed up - I think the scrabble game on my Ipad cheats! I was winning, fair and square last night on the hard setting and the blighter put in a word Avysing (score 74 plus a bingo)- which only seems to be in one sonnet. ever. However loads of words that I know to be ok it wouldnt let me have. It just seemed to…

The Claims Guys at it again
Hi All Just received my sixth phone call in two days from these guys on 0203 1671196. When I answer, no one speaks at the other end. Not a brilliant sales technique, I must admit. I contacted them to remove my number and received this response: Our understanding is that you have opted in to receive information about…

Coffee Cup Software 'No refund policy'
If you are considering buying software from a company called Coffee Cup be aware of their 'no refund policy'. I bought Web Editor for Mac - advertised as 'fully functional beta' but in 2 minutes of using it I had a problem with it failing to preview pages correctly. Several emails later it was apparent that this wasn't any…

DOTGOV Supplies and Services
:mad::mad::mad: Furious when a company hides behind email. This company telesell you with a promise of 'helping SMEs to find public sector work'. They charge around £100pa for access to local authority tenders. I signed a year ago and paid by credit card, followed by a year's worth of erratic emails telling me of either a…

Luxury Nook website - a warning
Hello, Just wanted to post a warning about the company Luxury Nook. My partner ordered a light from their website 6 weeks ago. Payment was taken immediately, with a promise of a 7-10 day delivery time. Fine. A few weeks later, no delivery, so my partner called. Apparently the supplier was having "production issues" but the…

Amazon MP3 - GAH!
Just went to download a song from amazon. Bought with the very handy 1-click option. Thought that was that, I'd be listening to my new song in about a minute. Yeah, right. The dialogue box which asks you to open the mp3 download software didn't open, so I didn't get to download the song. Then I find out I've been charged…

Siesta Holidays
Hi all. Just having a moan about Siesta. I choose to go on a Disney trip with them as I didn't trust myself with a young child, luggage and pram on my own by train, so coach trip it was. Had a fantastic time there, but on the way home the journey was horrendous! I was on the upper deck about a 3rd of the way from the back.…

Rant!! Grocery home delivery service
Honestly, I despair at the logic sometimes. I had shopping delivered this morning from Tesco. Everything was fine, three substitutions - two of which were acceptable. The third? Well! I had ordered a joint of meat weighing 1.2kg. This was unavailable, so the substitute they gave me?? A similar joint but weighing 640g!…

LAZER Eye surgery
£395 per eye....... Oh Yea !!!!! The ever ending TV adverts for lazer eye treatments should be banned..... from..... advertising £395 per eye. Having had a short but interesting career with one of the 'TV' nationals advertising the treatments, I can catagorally state that less than 0.002% of the population would be able to…

My Living Space
Be careful if using this company. I purchased a wall clock. When it arrived the hands were out of sync. Hour hand points to 12 and the minute points to 25 past. No answer to phone and e mail. When I eventually got through, man said he was having staff problems. He was very pleasant and most apologetic. He promised to…

Argos Roller Blind too small!
I bought a Roller blind from Argos to hang on the back door. In the catalogue it says the blind is 2ft wide, which is enough to cover the window. When I opened it, the actual blind is only 22.5ins, so there is gap either side. I was under the impression the actual blind would be 2ft, which is why I bought it. The next size…

Homebase - shambles
Deleted. Reason - after 4 incompetents, finally managed to get through to a competent Irish lady in head office customer service. Feeling much calmer now, thank you.
