Next (online)
I think it's a bit cheeky that Next insist on credit checking anyone who wants to make an online purchase, even if you just want to pay immediately and not ask for an account. Even further irritated that if you wish to use a Gift Card that someone has bought you online, then you are unable to choose delivery to store :mad:…

Any idea how to squeeze a refund out of parcelforce?
This is a bit of a vent and a bit of a warning. I recently needed to send two parcels using parcelforce, so thought I would be clever and use their website. Although it's not very well laid out, I managed to successfully book one parcel and print off the postage label. I then tried to do a second, and all went fine until…

Currys cancelled order - second thoughts on their cashback?!
Hello, Just a vent really - I know I can do nothing about it (though I've sent them a stroppy email). A few days ago Quidco/Currys were offering 10% cashback on laptops, including Apple ones - quite unusual I thought, and a decent deal, so I went for it and bought a 13" Macbook Air via it. Today, 4 days later, they cancel…

Post Office refuses to sell single Gold Medal stamps
I'm sending a card to Australia which would cost £1.28 in postage, so I thought wouldn't it be nice to make up the amount with one each of the first two gold medal winners (the two female rowers plus Bradley Wiggins), plus 8p. The Post Office however, had different ideas. They told me they could only sell the stamps in…

Completely robbed by a web developer in UK - anything I can do?
I approached a Magento ecommerce developer company on peopleperhour.com. I never got round to accepting their proposal because one of the guys at the company chatted about the job over email and skype and started the job. I assumed all was well, and he asked for payment through bank transfer or Paypal. He eventually needed…

Kwik-fit and phone calls.
So, you take your new car insurance policy out with kwik-fit, tick all the boxes so they can't contact you, and immediately they start calling you, daily, offering to sell you things. On complaining they send out an email, and I'll quote Sorry, but NO CONTACT, means NO CONTACT. Don't phone me daily to try and flog me stuff…
