McCain - Very helpful
I made an enquiry to McCain a while ago about some of their products, mainly I was interested in the substantially large range (it is surprising generally what food manufacturers sell in different countries) of currently non-UK products with a query as to if they would be selling them here. Although I also mentioned a…
Dorothy perkins .com
I have always bought my dresses from dorothy perkins as I think the fit and quality is good. Last Friday I came home to a parcel in my porch. I was looking forward to seeing the skater dress I ordered as it's a near replica of a reiss one. Oh no it was a different dress from the tall collection in a size 14. I'm a 12 and…
Anyone who eats pizza must read this and boycott PIZZA HUT
Hello everyone. Just a quick post to warn people who may consider purchasing pizza in the future. 2 weeks ago I called my local Pizza Hut and asked for home delivery. 2 hours later I called back and asked how much longer. They said it was very busy because of Halloween and I had to wait. Well to be honest Halloween was…
Ryanair new seating trick
Recently flew on Ryanair, checked in my self and girlfriend for free on both journeys and they have started splitting people who are coupled. Obviously to encourage you to pay for designated seats, as on the outbound flight there were a number of couples split, but a fair few spare seats on setting off. Official…
Amazon wish list vent
Noticed today that Amazon in their wisdom (maybe it's a website fault) have removed the option to sort wish list items by price and price reduction. Hope it's only a glitch and will back to normal soon. If not, it will be a pain, it's a useful tool to have when I have 90+ books saved to it and am just waiting for them to…
Activity Superstore - 'experiences'
Do NOT even think of using this company. The only 'experience' you will have is trying to get fulfilment of their obligations. They do not honour their worthless promises and many of their listed companies, allegedly providing events etc, do not know anything about it - they have never agreed to participate. We are aware…
taxreturned.co.uk
I had a letter through the post today from this company with a tax reclaim form. I came in a brown envelope so it looked a rather official at first. The letter mentioned claiming tax back for a work uniform. The irony is I'm not working. Be careful of this company as a very quick review online seems to suggest that they…
Nationwide contactless credit card charged another bill to me!
I was recently in a Morrison's supermarket cafe, I bought a meal but was also charged for the bill of the person behind me at the till! Be careful. I have contacted Morrisons ok but failed to contact Nationwide as " We're sorry. We seem to be experiencing some technical problems." Fortyfoot
Passport office, very fast for me!
Filled in forms last Tuesday night, printed them Wednesday morning and posted them same day recorded, today I had my new passport. It was a renewal but old one was 5 years out of date Just shocked that they only recieved documents on Thursday and today have new passport! I don't think that can really be beaten easily!
Santander Bank. Call Centre response time.
OMG. Are they the worst!! As a new customer I needed to ring the Call Centre with direct debit issue. Gave up after waiting over ONE Hour to speak to an advisor. Will be reverting back to my old bank. Never ever waited that long with them Terrible service.
Amazon Slow Dispatch
I'm getting really frustrated with Amazon! I ordered a gardening trowel/knife on 9th October. I ordered another item to make it over £20 to get free delivery. The knife is sold by a French company but is fulfilled by Amazon which I thought meant that it is in their warehouse and dispatched by them. I received the item I…
