Those bloomin little coloured tags at the top of the page!
ARGH! :mad: The ones that say 'shopping,' 'deals: vouchers' 'utilities; phones,' and 'banking' and so on. They are SO close to the tab you have to click to get back to the forum page you're on, and every time I come on this forum: 1 in 3 times that I go into a thread, and try to come back out by clicking on the 'forum…

Apparently incorrect customs charge on gift from abroad
I received a note from Parcelforce yesterday requesting a payment for a parcel sent from Japan, specifically £13.86 Import VAT plus a clearance fee of £13.50 – i.e. a total of £27.36. I emailed my friend in Japan who said it was from him, and contained a Christmas card, a calendar and a CD. Now, assuming the stated £13.86…

The design we ordered was perfect, exactly what we had in mind, and costing c.£400 for everything instead of the £1,200 for almost identical design from LetterPress of Cirencester.

Royal Mail delivery/sorting office - phone number?
I've been told by RM on the general enquiries 0845 number that it's now impossible to speak to a sorting/delivery office. I'm waiting for a delivery of flowers which will be dead before RM decide to deliver them. If they're sat at the office just because they cannot be bothered to send them out on the round then I'd rather…

Parcel Deliveries - Collect+ & MyHermes
Talking purely about ordering the parcel delivery service, full marks to MyHermes - it worked great except for payment time, which had to be repeated twice each time - I think this was due to the security check box for Visa & Mastercard rather than anything to do with MyHermes. I would recommend them as far as ordering…

BT - Bleeding Terrible?
I decided to go onto fibre optic, as it has just come to my area, and thought that the safest option was to go with BT - after all, it is their lines. Well, if I ever have such a stupid idea again, someone shoot me in the head! I ordered BT Infinity 2 unlimited internet package, with phone (weekend and evening) and Line…

Tesco Grocery Delivery Substitutions
Had my strangest Tesco grocery substitution in my order today. Ordered one pack of smoked sliced bacon (basic stuff, nothing fancy). Had a pack of pre-cooked fajita flavour chicken delivered. Apparently, the 'pick' machines in store tell the pickers what to choose (not sure I believe that). Clearly the days of common sense…

Industrial Hearning Clinic Dodgy?
Does anyone know anything further about this outfit the Industrial Hearing Clinic. Everything I have found suggests they are really dodgy. They phone up people trying to get them to make claims from former employers. They target people with hearing loss. They phoned my parents who are on TPS, so they shouldn't have phoined…

Three Mobile Broadband Cancellation
Just put the phone down after talking to Three customer service and felt like a little rant! About 3 months ago I signed for a one month mobile broadband contract in store, which I needed temporarily. As expected, very quick and efficient service when you are parting with your money. The contract had done its job and I no…
