Praise for Shark (ninja) Vacuums
As well as having a good product, customer service is excellent, responded in less than 24 hours to a replacement brush query, whole new head unit on its way already. Ok so its a warranty claim 2 years in but still, friendly helpful, polite and efficient, a rarity these days despite all the hype of some companies.
Selltronics are thieving b*stards!
Hi, this one is an advice to people who are looking to sell their used phone. Don't do business with Selltronics!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to sell my mobile to Selltronics and at first they offered 46 pounds. My mobile is an unlocked, double-SIM Galaxy SIII Neo, which was protected by a plastic cover and a screen protector film…
Praise for Amazon
Purchased a smartwatch for £188 back in October 2014. Last Friday it just died on me, so thought id contact Amazon and see what they say. Said they would get the item repaired despite being out of warranty etc. Returns label emailed to me and item dropped off at Collect+ the same day. Product returned yesterday and just…
Aldi - not a heathy option 700 calories!
I been a fan for over a year of a salad bowl sold by Aldi. Chicken salad with mango sauce, a chicken and bacon version etc. They were £1.49 and a bargain as a work lunch. Obviously popular as most folk in my local store seemed to have them in their trollies. They have been changed - new packaging - its ok, 20p more…
NS&I Cannot Process 2 Letters In One Envelope
Don't send two letters to NS&I in one envelope as their automated opening and scanning system cannot process them and will only deal with the first one it removes from the envelope even if they are folded separately ! At the end of August MrsM & I wanted to combine our premium bond accounts with our other NS&I investments…
Amazon praise
Last week I took delivery of new gadget from Amazon which is both lovely and rubbish! It failed to do various things promised and showed my location as over 300 miles away at an address I haven't lived in for three years. Today I asked Amazon to refund me and I'd return the item. Got my refund and told (by email) to keep…
BT Internet calling - there is a problem with your broadband
New version of the "Windows Technical Support, there is a fault with your computer". Caller (Indian accent) claims they are from BT Internet Openreach and they will have to disconnect your broadband or your computer has downloaded some malicious files or there is something wrong with your broadband speed. They also say…
Sainsburys advertise store as having parking but it's not free
I am annoyed that I viewed the details of a Sainsburys store on their website and it said the store had "parking". However when I visited the store the only parking was in a municipal car park which made a charge and there was no facility for having the charge refunded in store. I have complained to Sainsburys but they…
Praise Canadian Airports
Hi Thought I would inform people of my recent experience of coming back from Calgary to the UK. We had bought a pen knife for our son which my wife had mistakenly packed in our hand luggage with our other gifts. This was detected by the scanners and we were pulled to one side. I was expecting all sorts of trouble but was…
TV Licensing - Why so difficult to renew?
I wonder how much cheaper a licence would be if they had modern and efficient processes? I expected my wish to change from quarterly direct debit to annual direct debit to be a simple process but it certainly is not. My licence renews at the end of September so I went online a month ago to try and change the DD to annual.…
