very.co.uk flouting Consumer Contracts Regulations
What is the point of the Consumer Contracts Regulations when big companies like very.co.uk completely ignore it. They have told me that they only refund the delivery charge if goods are faulty or the wrong goods have been sent. It also annoys me that if you buy any TV or electrical appliance that they make you deal with…

Creme Eggs
Why do Americans like to mess up things? I knew something like this would happen when Kraft bought Cadburys... Firstly they are selling creme eggs in packs of 5, instead of 6. I'm not completely outraged by this But also they're stopping using Dairy Milk chocolate for the chocolate in Creme Eggs! You may think it's silly…

Delivery firms asking me to take packages in for neighbours
Am I the only one who gets irked by this LOL? Yes I know it's a trivial vent, before the 'first world problems' and 'you must lead a blessed life if this is all you have to worry about!' comments come out. :D It's more of a 'I'm fed up of it,' and 'is anyone else fed up of it too' kind of post. It happens not too often…

Another liquid thread
I ordered some refreshment in a well known pub chain and when the barmaid gave it to me not only was it in a glass but it was wet. Don't they know that i like my Martinis dry?

Flat fizzy drinks in restaurants and pubs
Does anybody else get annoyed when you visit a restaurant or pub and the fizzy drinks are completely flat. You can pay between 2.50 and 3.50 for a large coke, surly you should be able to expect it to be fizzy.

Lottery.co.uk yet another scammy site?
I was just looking on this forum and spotted a complaint about http://www.lottery.co.uk The link to the complaint is here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5148183 This is not Camelot, nor the National Lottery. It is a website which, to many, could easily appear to be the genuine Camelot site. What amazes me…

Vent Co-op Energy
For any one thinking about switching to co-op energy ,you might be interested in my experience. Started supply with them 29/09/2014 and submitted monthly meter readings. As I had not received a bill at the end of Dec I contacted them and they were surprised that I had not got a bill. A bill was then prepared but it was for…

Aldi - incompetence and failure?
I've been shopping in Aldi for years. Not 100% perfect, but tolerable given the prices. And their Jaffa cakes are the best IMHO. Now - after my last today's shopping - I am about to vote with my feet. No parking spaces and empty shelves. All this is obviously a result of their recent massive advertising campaign - not…

Praise for Swizzles Matlow & KP Snacks...
Complained to KP Snacks last month because I purchased a multipack of Wheat Crunchies which didn't have any flavour and received a £3 voucher to spend on their products in any store. At Christmas, I received a pack of Swizzles Matlow sweets as part of a present. There wasn't any of my favourite sweets in the pack, and…

Lufthansa - no customer service
I've flown with Lufthansa a few times; they seemed quietly efficient... However, if anything goes wrong, their customer service seems to be Ryanair style - ignore your complaints and hope they go away. I won't give all the boring details of the complaint but in brief, on both outbound and return flights to the USA we were…

Yale Doors
Just wrote a long damning review of our experience of Yale Doors on TrustPilot, but Yale appear to have reported the review and its been removed. Can't think why...perhaps its due to the fact they appear to import these reviews into their main website to let the world know how good they are ;) We arranged to have a new…

Charging for tap water
Just come back from taking my son out for his birthday lunch. He asked for water to drink. The waiter asked if he wanted tap water, he said yes, fine - and had two glasses during the course of the meal. When the bill came, I was really surprised to see that they had charged £2.60 for tap water. I didn't want to kick up a…

Tesco Direct - rant
Just need to rant! I ordered a laptop before Christmas, delivery to store was fine, however it was faulty, I confirmed with Asus that it was DOA and should be returned. Tesco agreed but said it had no stock to replace it and I should wait. I find out today that stock has subsequently come in and been sold on to new…

OOOOO I am cross. I am housebound so all purchases have to be online. On the 1st December I ordered 6 genie bras from High Street TV. They didn't arrive so I phoned and they sent out more - seems they were out of stock and these weren't despatched. I phoned again on the 29th Dec and asked what had happened. The bras I…
