Currys Online carp service
Minor rant Son waited in most of the day for delivery of his new Samsung fridge/freezer (£400+). Guy put it in middle of kitchen and said not to plug in for 4 hours and left. When my son unwrapped it, found one of the door handles was dented, so he phoned Curry's customer service. Took him 20 minutes to get to speak to…

Opie Oils - Praise
Recently bought a number of service items (including a fuel filter) for my Lexus LS400 from Opie Oils. Firstly check for discounts, they normally offer at least 10% off. Items took a couple of days for delivery, all fine there too. When taking the items to the garage, I was told the fuel filter didn't fit (sadly the garage…

Maplin return - praise
I'm not a great fan of Maplin as imo much of their stuff is overpriced but I was impressed with their acceptance of a return I made. I recall the fuss and performance I had with a set top box return to Currys a few days after purchase from Currys this year when I had to argue the toss with a manager for half an hour. I had…

Apple new features stupid idea
New iOS 10 they removed the feature slide to unlock which is really suspicious to generate more money or a big stupid idea by Apple. If we keep click home button then it will deteriorate and to replace for that send devices to apple and pay money for that. Normally it will be ok for a year under warranty period after that…

Screwfix service
I'm not going to have a rant here because they may have some system which i'm not aware of since i'm not a regular customer there. What is the policy if you want to buy something there? You don't have to 'book in' do you? Surely not? I went in & there was a guy (customer) at the desk & another at the till. There was a chap…

Emirates 'fare hold' - not that fair
Just thought it may be worth sharing that Emirates fare hold can prove less than fair. We looked up flights using their Features Fares tab online. It shows the destination, class, travel dates, price, and 'Offer Ends'. The offer on the flight we wanted ended in '1 day' - midnight the night we were looking. We needed to get…

Live maggot in my sandwich.
Ick....yuck. Can't stop vomiting. Sandwich from Tesco for lunch, took one bite + then I opened it up (I always do) to check the insides, clear as anything a maggot crawling all over the chicken. Ughhh, I can't stop thinking about it. So glad I didn't eat any extra of it. I understand caterpillars in spinach or the odd dead…

Asda
I went to the local ASDA today for a few items etc. I promptly made my way to the self service belt. As I was about to put the items on the belt an assistant said that is for cards only you need the next one for cash. I looked at her in amazement as to suggest I would not be deemed to have cards.

Shaming a fly-tipping company?
A bit of a moral dilemma..... I live in London, and I park my car around the back of some flats which are next to my house, The area is a private car park, but the owner lets anyone park there. It's a little secluded, and there's normally about 25 cars parked there. The car park is an absolute haven for flytipping. At…

Tesco overcharge Error on shopping?
Ok - First - no idea if this is the right place for this to go. :o Second - sorry for the rant :o I placed an online order on sat, and got delivered Sunday. Everything arrived, nothing returned, and 2 easy substitutions. I was adding the monies into my spreadsheet, and i cant get the totals to add up right. The front page…

In praise of United Utilities
My metered water bills were going up and up, I assumed it was the per unit/per day charges. But I checked my half yearly consumption over the last 4/5 years and it had gone up by 2.5! It should actually have gone down for a separate reason. UU have a facility for a call back - if only every company did! They called me,…

Sports direct bad return refund policy
my recent purchase return in the next day experience was really bad with them. I was told as per the company policy they can't refund the money instead they can issue voucher for the money and can buy something else in their shop only. I am not sure they can have this policy as this is completly against customer statutory…

vent- papa johns, via justeat site
Food order delayed, so I called to enquire, but staff didn't know / really care.. Online order status later showed as 'delivered' but didn't actually arrive for another 20 minutes - lukewarm, at best.. review rated 1 (as no zero) on the j/eat site, and emailed both then and pj.. The promised codes for a £5 credit (j/e)…

Well done Cotton Traders.
I like this chain of shops. I have deformation due to 2 abdominal operations which has left me with a very large hernia. As I am in my late 60`s, it is not wise to reverse it. It doesn`t hurt just gives my a different body shape to normal. Cotton Traders have a great range of shirts which fit and I was pleased to get a 20%…

Fabletics
I'm sure plenty of others have seen the adverts for the Fabletics activewear. I saw them advertising 'first outfit from £22" and obviously they always use the nicest of their clothes in the ads. However, when you actually go on their site and you find that it's way more than £22 for a full outfit. It's £22 just for a top…

Tanner Trading, Cornwall - very poor service
I recently ordered a pair of work boots from this site, which claims to offer 1-2 day delivery and free tracking on all orders. It's now 11 days since the order was placed and I have no boots and no response to my phonecalls. Neither phone is being answered and if you dare to post on their Facebook page, they simply delete…

Waitrose on-line ordering - does anyone have refund issues?
I recently placed an on-line order and subsequently got two replacement items which I rejected on delivery. A week later no refund. I've called the branch all week and the automated phone service advises they are busy due to the volume of calls they are getting. I get this every time I go to this extension, even first…

Quidco not paying out
Hello, Wonder what everyone's thoughts are on this. I took a boiler cover out with NPower, through Quidco. It was an awesome deal.. And the only reason I took it out with NPower... £80 cash back after 3 months. So I took it out, and paid as usual. I waited 6 months (all properly tracked) and then chased quidco. They told…
