cocoa boutique
It looks like cocoa boutique has closed. I had an email a few weeks ago for an offer of a box of artisan chocolates for £10 + p&p which I ordered. A couple of weeks later the money has been taken from my account & no sign of the chocolates. I checked the website & it says cocoa boutique is now closed & the number has no…

Currys/PC World - Awful Service and Care Plan
Need to rant about Currys. Bought a product and reluctantly signed up to their monthly paid Care Plan thinking at least I would have "peace of mind" (seems ironic in hindsight). The product needed repair, and I've had to make several calls (with very lengthy holds) to get hold of them, each time being provided…

Mattressesonline.co.uk DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
I recently brought an expensive superking mattress and mattress protector from this company. The wife knew a mattress was to arrive as I was working. I never thought to mention the protector to her. I got home to find the new mattress all well and good. No sign of the mattress protector. My wife informed me that no…

Santander Praise
Withdrew a large amount of money over the weekend and the cashier short changed me by quite a bit, I never checked the amount until later on the day and by the time I did this my phone rang from the branch to say they realised a mistake was made and the error was being amended by crediting my account with the difference.…

Amazon meltdown
Just need a rant really. I'm a prime member, ordered some goods Tuesday and Wednesday for next day. Unfortunately they said Friday. Okay, that's fine. I understand it's week of cyber Monday etc. Only I've now received notices that some of the parcels will be delivered today. I guess early is better than late. :/ Xxx

Warning to all cashiers etc
Hi all, Just wanted to share something that happened yesterday. Was in asda and the guy in front of me wanted to purchase a £5 top up using not only a £50 note but a Scottish one at that. It was refused and the guy walked out. Apparently it's a common scam, and I was assured if the value of the transaction had been around…

Beware of 'cowboys' on Shipley
Shiply, is a good concept but it's hit-and-miss, and if you get the shaft from some 'cowboy' transporter/shipping company - you're on your own. They need to have to get more involved in disputes and take some stand against customers getting scammed. I paid just over £300 for a service based on Shipley reviews and the fact…

British Gas praise (energy trust)

Now on their 'fixed or fall'tariff, until 2017, with level monthly payments - no increases, or exit fees, if i find cheaper elsewhere.. Along with…

Free manual forwarding of post by Royal Mail
For 30 years, I have been using manual forwarding of mail by Royal Mail, whereby someone at the original address crosses out the original address and writes the new address. This has never cost anything. Recently Royal Mail has started to randomly deliver to me a card indicating that the sender didn't pay the postage when…

Email scammers at their bestest (not)
I received a scam email, my first for a while now and is it me or have they got ambitious? There were so many zero's in the number it made my head spin.. It seems the UK Prime Minister has set a deadline where ALL debts must be paid no matter what the debt is. Then goes on to mention scammers that want you to pay an…

Amazon - slight gripe converted to praise!
Thought I'd post of a good experience with Amazon today. Last week I ordered a book to be delivered by Amazon. The tracking information showed that it was sent for delivery on 26th November and received by a local depot for delivery on 27th November. I hadn't received anything so yesterday I checked tracking and it was…

No next day delivery on Amazon today???
I'm an Amazon Prime member. Every product page I look at today says "Get it by Thursday 3rd December". What? Normally it shows the next day (until late afternoon anyway). What's going on with their next day delivery today?
