How much to charge for scaffolding.
Scaffolding went up last Wednesday, work completed on Friday and assured scaffolding down Monday/Tuesday. It's still up, despite phone calls. I don't like being used as 'storage'. How much rent do you think I should charge? Had to wait in two days already to allow access. Or shall I just keep them until I am available to…

Talk Talk - 'free' connection
Quick vent. I'll let the pic do the talking... They've been resolute in refusing to honor it too. Grrrr!

Hertz - praise!!
Just a quick note of praise for the customer service of Hertz. May turn into rant come July but I'm hopeful that it won't! Long story short, flying to Toronto and travelling across the border to the US (I'm travelling to cleveland and flights to Toronto are at lest £300 less than flying to the US - £555 return in July).…

*Sports direct warning* customer service is dead
Sports direct sell cheap stuff. Beware however that any semblance of customer service stops at the point of purchase. It has been a long time since I have encountered such difficulty and arrogance in trying to sort out an issue - both from people and seemingly systems. Before you purchase from this company I want to share…

Panasonic
Hi All, Just a quick vent! Bought a new tv from Panasonic store. After first week noticed a dark faint line down the tv, once spotted it really started annoying me. Rang shop and they came out. Technicians identified problem showing me on tv and changed the settings but it stayed. They swapped for new tv - as soon as one…

Tesco new lower prices - really?
So you may have seen posters and advertising promoting the "new lower prices" at Tesco. One of the items included in the promotional bumph is Cadbury Fingers. The price was lowered to 85p. Bargain! Pictures on my e-mails from Tesco and posters in store with boxes of Cadbury Fingers. Thing is, in my Tesco Express they are…

No delivery from Argos waited in all day.
hi folks, I waited in all day today for a tv delivery from argos, but nothing. I rang them and they said oh it hasn't reached our courier as yet, but coming in as still in stock. I know that it isn't in the latest catalogue and to be honest even when I placed order I had the funny feeling they really didn't have it for…

IJT Direct: no serious problem but slightly odd!
I've previously bought discount inkjets from IJT direct and have always been perfectly satisfied with the goods and their service. Earlier this month (2nd Jan in fact) I put in an order for a number of cartridges and some photo paper - a rather larger order than before to take advantages of some discounts. These then…

Asda direct very late delivery. Even worse customer service
Hi Is there an Asda representative that posts on this site? The reason I ask is that I am getting absolutely nowhere with their customer service team and stuck on what to do next. I placed an order on the Asda direct website on 1st December 2014 for an item that was meant to be a Xmas present for somebody. Stated delivery…

Vent...Was he attacked?
Well was ML actually attacked. Is he right to complain about bad language when he has used the B word on his own site. Apparently he has stated the DM article has factual inaccuracies...as does MSE??

VENT: Fake NIKE AIR HUARACHE Love Hate on eBay
My son asked me to buy him some Huaraches at Christmas. We went to Selfridges, Foot Locker & some other shops but couldn't get his size. I decided to buy off eBay - which was a mistake. I was fooled by the pictures (which I now realise were taken off the internet) & the exceptional price - £99.99 which was a lot cheaper…

Praise: MAGLite Flashlights
My 10 year old MAGLite flashlight stopped working. After checking it over according to the documentation I called up their warranty dept. who told me to send it in. I was expecting to be charged for the replacement parts. The flashlight was received back all in working order with no charge.

Vent: Busybodies, insensitive!
I got married over 2 years ago, so everyone keeps asking when I am having children. The answer is that I am probably not as due to a medical issue there is up to a 10% chance of the child being born with a serious illness and possibly dying. I do however love children but just not prepared to take a chance at the minute,…

At Tesco - either someone hasn't got the memo...
... or the cynical bloke was lying through his teeth. I thought Tesco wanted to reduce food waste? No evidence of that happening. Want to buy only 14 or 15 garlic bulbs instead of 45 garlic bulbs? You will be charged a premium of fifty percent. Want to buy a pretty large bag of onions (5kg)? You will be charged a premium…

Avoid this company: Mark Group Loft Insulation!
Heres my experience: http://www.reviewcentre.com/Tradesmen/Mark-Group-www-markgroup-co-uk-review_3152639 “Cracks in ceiling after installing loft insulation!” Mark group fitted loft insulation leaving me with a large crack across my ceiling and smaller cracks in the bathroom from where they rushed and must have slipped!

Please please steer clear of myparceldelivery.com
I can honestly say this has been without doubt the worst experience I have ever had when dealing with a supplier of goods or service. I paid in excess of £200 to have chairs returned to a supplier to get a full refund; I actually also paid for insurance believe it or not. The chairs were delivered in an unbelievably bad…

Praise for Go-Electrical
Praise for Go-Electrical. I made an on line purchase of a Dualit mini kettle in very modern looking Canvas White. Go-Electrical gave excellent service, very fast (free) delivery via Parcel Force, the most competitive price available and a quality item. Highly recommend. Retired at 55.

Very Convincing Scam "BT" Email
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but just received a very convincing scam email. It's apparently from BT headed "Your Account" saying they have introduced new authentication procedures and would I click on the "UPDATE NOW" link and confirm my billing information. This leads to a non-BT 'twowordstory.org' URL.

Aldi electrials Tempouk
Has anyone recently had dealings with Tempouk who manufacture some of Aldi's electricals? i contacted them almost 6 weeks ago in regards to a broken cable on a Heated throw we bought last year. I spoke to a girl who said to send the warranty card and a new one would be sent out ASAP (the throw has a 3 year parts and labour…

Karcher WV 60 Window Vac
Never been one to write many reviews, but this item is so marvellous I felt compelled to. We have quite a bit of condensation on the windows on frosty mornings and this gadget is absolutely fabulous in getting rid of it. 5 minutes, all windows cleared, job done. If it stopped working for any reason, I'd be straight out to…
