Amazon delaying Supersaver Delivery packages
Grrr! I haven't ordered anything from Amazon for a while, but on Sunday, I ordered three items in two orders (a camera costing over £300 and a purse and bag totalling over £50). As is usually the case, I picked Super Saver delivery, because in the past it has always come within 2/3 days of ordering anyway. Not so, five…

Cash4phones. Never ever ever use!!!
It started on Monday the 16th. They received my iphone 4 . The phone looked new due to the cover and screen protector. I realise I should have read the reports where they use a "process" of lowering the cost by saying the handset has slight damaged.They contacted me to say I had a revised offer and do I accept. I did , on…

CPC quietly cancel orders without telling you
I've ordered 2 electrical items from CPC in the last 3 weeks. After waiting 3 weeks for the first one to be delivered I logged into their website to check the status and it had been cancelled by them (presumably due to stock unavailability). At no point did they bother to tell me, so I could have waited forever for it to…

Impossible to be served by a human being in Tesco
I try to avoid Tesco stores generally, but did go in the one opposite Liverpool Street station today to get some shopping. I noted that all the normal checkouts had been replaced by those awful automated machines, and the only person serving was at a '5 items or fewer' tobacco counter. As I had about 10 items, I had no…

Vent - Eastenders and Kidneys
Has anyone been watching eastenders recently? The majority of the time soaps will be really good at portraying these things accurately but the storyline about Sam and living kidney donation is completely wrong! If people watch this and think it takes one day to find out they are a match they will be in for a shock when…

Dreams - Never again
Bought a bed in the sales. 28 days delivery, not the best but I got a good deal. However latest they can deliver is 26/10 so that turned into a 47 day delivery. It seems ridiculous to me. Looking into the sales of goods act. Must be able to do something.

Groupon / other similar and insurance.
Two topics here. Groupon: Always check the product on " offer" with Google or other website, eg Amazon. Today there is a special offer on Canon lenses. The 70-300 is USM lens is listed at £279. However the same brand new lens is selling on Ebay for £235! I am not disputing that the Groupon one is cheaper than the list…

Tommee Tippee
Lots of vents and warnings on the board, so thought I would share a praise! Really impressed with Tomme Tippee! Emailed their customer service last night to enquire about getting replacement parts for my electronic breast pump and how much they are likely to cost. They emailed me back this morning saying they will pop them…

Corsodyl Mouthwash: most revolting TV commercial ever
Now I don't usually complain about adverts but what were they thinking? It's the advert where the woman bleeds from various face holes before spitting blood and revealing a gap-toothed smile. The catchy catchphrase is 'for those who spit blood when you brush your teeth'. As it happens I once bought a bottle of this since…

Tesco Products at Local Shop
I don't know if this is legal or not? My local shop has begun selling some products that carry Tesco branding (tomato ketchup, cola and chicken to name a few things)? All of these are sold at a much higher price than they are available for in Tesco? A bottle of Tesco cola is £1.50 at the local shop! This is the first time…

Warning re: tax rebate emails
Have been sent email claiming to be from the direct.gov website about a tax refund. It isn't genuine and I wanted to warn others about it. It also starts with a warning not to share the email with anyone. It does look genuine, but they haven't got any name, address details ( plus I know that I am not owed a refund, I've…

Petrol prices
I filled up my car with petrol yesterday and just passed the garage today and saw that the petrol was 2p a litre cheaper. 60p down the drain because I didn't wait another day to get petrol

Blummin' Freeview!
So after finally caving in to buying a TV licence, having decided that watching catchup alone isn't quite all it's cracked up to be, we've had TV for about a month and now... No signal! None! Is anyone else in the Herefordshire/Shropshire/Worcester area having issues? Reception has been poor for a couple of days and then…

'Car wash people' in Sainsburys adding to danger in car park
So does MSE now delete posts secretly hoping people will not notice now when someone throws their toys out of the pram? Far worse posts on here that have been left when a OP has asked for them to be removed/deleted.

Silverline Tools - Selective ratings ?
I recently bought a Silverline 115mm 500 Watt angle grinder and it burnt out within five minutes of light use. Video here of it's final moments - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j64fllj7WYY I left an honest but factual review on the item page but it appears they do not like customers leaving low ratings as my review has not…

British Gas - wrong electricity meter/reading
Just in short. I have problem with British Gas as they want me to pay for electricity meter which is not mine. I´ve been told that they send G4S engineer to confirm the correct MSN (serial number) for my meter 3 times.

Praise - Amazon
So my steam cleaner packed up again, only 10 months old. Emailed Amazon, got a reply the same day telling me a new one is on it's way and with a returns label attached. I had an issue with some hair straighteners earlier this year and while they couldn't replace them, they refunded me straight away. Can't fault them, other…

Boots Customer Services?
Are Boots renowned for their poor customer services or is it just me? I wrote a letter of complaint to my local branch nearly 2 months ago cc'ing head office in and haven't heard anything yet. I messaged them on Friday on facebook and still haven't heard anything from them. I'm thinking an email to the ceo is the next…
