Free Sample Scam
Sent off for a free sample of face cream and paid for P& P charges about £1.99. Half forgot about this as it was at least two months ago & nothing. Envelope arrived from Florida with a pot of face cream & a receipt for $89.99 in it. Horrified. Googled & saw an email address for the company named on the receipt, but all…

Parolympic Games
Hello, I am getting sick of seeing people disrespect the Parolympic games. At the very minimum, the Parolympics should get the same recognition as the regular Olympics. Instead, it is sidelined on the inside pages of newspapers and is tucked away on Channel 4, who hardly show any of the sports, instead of on loads of…

Anybody in this area of the country, be very wary of an MOT performed by this garage. They recently issued an MOT as passed with one advisory despite the vehicle suffering from: - non working main beam lights - non working front DS indicator - battery not secured to anything, thus loose under the bonet - missing suspension…

Royal Mail Signed For parcel thrown through open window!
I had a delivery from Amazon late this afternoon. It was a recorded/signed for parcel which one would assume required a signature from someone at the address. No one here signed for the parcel as the only person who was in at the time was in the bath! The parcel was thrown through an open top window and landed on the floor…

MyVoice survey
Got a survey from MyVoice a few days ago asking if I would be around between 11am-3pm on 5th sept, for a market research project that would need answers given quickly. Had no reponse to confirmation that I would be, and an email to them to find out whether I've been accepted (today, through their site) has gone unanswered.…

Post Office Travelcard Beware! BIG RANT
My son and I purchased a Post Office travel card a few days before he went to Thailand last month. We loaded the card at the Post Office with £750 complete with their £11.25 charge. I asked at the time if I would be able to load this card/top it up if necessary during his stay of 6 weeks this August. Post Office said I…

DATA protection Grrrrrrrrrrrh!
I am sick to death of the so called Data protection rigmarole. Now a days you cannot just ring an utility company with a simple query without being interrogated at length, name address date of birth (how DARE they!) and telephone number. Does anyone else get mad about this? All this is an excuse to gather information about…

Kleeneze Agents Ignore Door Signs Again!
Despite a notice on my letterbox which reads: "NO COMMERCIAL LEAFLETS" and another sign on the door which reads: UNSOLICITED CATALOGUES WILL NOT BE RETURNED, Kleeneze agents still insist on putting catalogues through my door and expect me to return them! The two Kleeneze agents operating in my area have been reported to…

Royal Mail - praise and vent
Now, I quite like RM. Our local postie is fantastic - just after we moved in he knocked on the door to ask which names would post be correctly addressed for us. He's a lovely man and everything always seems to get delivered promptly. Hence my confusion when a red card came through for a failed packet delivery when my OH…

Play.com Unlawful Returns Policy
In short, I purchased an electrical item from Play.com 8 months ago for £35. This developed a fault so, well within it's 1 year warranty, I contacted Play.com for a replacement. Their response was that as it was more than 6 months old, I must go direct to the manufacturer. This is clearly wrong as my contract was with…

PC World. Never again.
After researching my options. Eventually I placed an order for a Steelseries gaming headset from PC world at £59.99. It arrived on Wednesday and I got my first use out of it yesterday. After only 30 minutes of use. I found it to be extremely uncomfortable and it left my ears red and aching. I rang their customer services…

Boo hiss to my local newsagent
Like the title says, boo hiss to my local newsagent, part of the Martin McColl group. I just went there looking for a greetings card. I picked up one I liked, but the inner leaf with the poem printed on it had been stuck in the wrong way, so the poem was upside down on the back of the front flat, rather than the right way…
