Fire Exits
A local pub has had a telling off (well the landlord anyhow) for not paying attention to fire safety regarding exit doors. All the doors in the pub are the type which would have to be open with a key and not one is the push bar type door. T he landlord always locks the doors just after 11pm (I only go once per week btw)…

Praise for Boots
I went into my local Boots this morning & one of the things I bought was an eye-liner which cost £5.19p. Wheni got home a couple of hours later, it wasn't in the bag with the other bits I'd bought. Rather than go back, in the rain, to the packed town centre, I phoned and got a very helpful staff member, whose name I…

Amazon Prime
I just ordered a DVD and must have clicked accidentally on Prime delivery option. I immediately rectified it by selecting free normal delivery. Even though I changed my delivery option Amazon have already signed me up for a free Prime trial. I tried to cancel it but they make it very hard for you to do this in the hope you…

Ideal World shopping beware
Oh how I wished I'd read the ideal world reviews before we bought from them. Ladies solid face make up ordered but arrived all broken up, returned for replacement and that arrived just the same, returned asking for a complete refund along with 2 lots of P&P. this process has taken at least 6 emails trying to correct their…

Amazon: Praise
I ordered two items, one large in size but worth £13. The other small but worth £29. A delivery arrived, in a box larger than the large item, if you follow. Brown paper packing to occupy spare space. I took item out and threw box away (I get amazon stuff delivered to work) Only when I checked was it apparent that I had…

Advice needed - discrimination in job application?
I am asking this on behalf of a friend. She is in her 40s and currently looking for a job as she has been out of work for nearly a year. She has a cv and has been round all local shops and businesses to enquire about vacancies and hand out cvs. Although she has not found a job yet, most places take the cv to apply for any…

Praise for Sureflap (microchip catflap)
The catflap has been permanently open for a few days now. I telephoned Sureflap on Wednesday afternoon to see what advice they could offer. Lovely lady asked me to check to see if the motor was making a noise when I pressed a button on the inside of the equipment. Whilst she could hear Benji purring (he was assisting), we…

Amazon Seller Harrasement
I recently bought a phone on amazon and it was fake so I spoke to amazon and they refunded me and said don't send it back and they will take action against the seller. So I got my money and the phones sitting there but every day I receive phone calls from the seller demanding I send it back even though amazon and the…

Tesco Online Billing is inaccurate
On receiving my delivery yesterday, I thought that the amount I was finally charged was more than I was expecting. After painstakingly checking through the order email and the receipt I was given, I could see that I was overcharged by £11.40. On speaking to Tesco customer service team they apologised and advised they would…

Received someone else's mortgage application!
Applied for a Post Office mortgage. Today the document arrived where they fill in some of it with all the details I have already given them, and I then fill the rest in and send it back with the relevant ID. Except it wasn't our form we received, but someone else's, with their name, date of birth, national insurance…

Matalan - does anyone have problems with emails?
It might just be me but I've made two online orders with Matalan and I've struggled to open/read their emails confirming my order. I use Microsoft Outlook and it works perfectly well normally. When I attempt to open a Matalan email, everything freezes up. I do quite a bit of online shopping and never have problems with…

Radflek Freebies
Would have loved the chance to qualify for one of the freebie giveaways today. Was all ready to go at midday, when the link was going live - but the link never appeared until 12.02, by which time all the freebies had gone. What a swizz!!

Tesco Delivery Saver - a little warning
I have just had a falling out with a Tesco Customer Service employee over the Delivery Saver plan. I have shopped with Tesco for 30+ years and generally had good service. We moved to online shopping as our local Tesco is in-town and charge for parking. We signed up to the Delivery Saver Plan a few weeks ago as it made…

Small Claims Court - Currys Electrical?
My mum went to the Blackpole branch of Currys in Worcester and asked for product information so she could choose a new freestanding cooker. She's retired (in her 60's), not internet savvy and on limited budget, so it's a big expense. She fully read the information provided and chose a £499.99 Zanussi model which they…

Viking Direct help please
Not the end of the world, but I am blazing angry with Viking Direct and cannot find anyone to complain to, their customer service department is a joke and constantly tell porkies. Story: Ordered product desperately needed for next day. Confirmed, received email on delivery day saying 'it's on its way' Received email at…

Argos 2 different prices for same item
I want to buy an item from Argos so I checked the price on-line before I went to the store. It costs £44.99 and is in stock and I can use my nectar points to partially pay and because I am an OAP I can get the bus for free and pick it up. Only thing is, it is pouring down with rain and I have a 10 minute walk from the bus…

Yodel Couriers
Just a bit of a moan about Yodel... I ordered a top from Dorothy Perkins, paying an extra £6 for next day delivery. The website for Yodel states delivery is any time between 7am and 9pm, so I kept my fingers crossed that I would be lucky and they would come before or after I had finished work. I had also said it was okay…
