Mystery overcharge
First post so not really sure what I’m doing. We went into a local shop on 31st. March and bought two items, £1.50 plus £2.00, so a total of £3.50. It’s small shop that sells just about everything from a bath plug to a bag of sweets to a small tin of paint. They don’t scan items or give a receipt. My partner paid with his…

I give up
I've given up so many times with retailers- why do they make it so hard to raise a warranty claim or refund. Is there no law for this?? Thieves

Rat Rights (warning - a bit grim)
I am in a bit of a state. Over the last 2-3 years we've had a problem with rats which has got consistently worse. One got into my flat, gnawed a hole into my fridge and set up camp under my spare bed. Another appeared in my neighbour's loo while he was sitting on it. Last year we caught 5 in humane traps and took them a…

Amazon Warehouse /Resale and guarantees
I've just bought a Samsung microwave from Amazon Resale. I know I have my distance selling rights and an Amazon guarantee but do I still have the 2 year Samsung guarantee? I see no mention on the Amazon site. MSE wrote an article about Amazon Resale recently that fails to discuss this - which is a bit of a glaring…

Last week I had a Worcester Bosch engineer out to perform a fixed price repair on my old boiler. Real value for money as he replaced a lot of main parts and gave it a full…

Amazon Prime movies
A word of caution: movies 'purchased' on Amazon Prime and downloaded to your device can only be watched by using their app. Of course, you can always purchase their tablet. IMHO, they do not make this sufficiently clear on their website, though I'm sure that it is likely conveniently hidden somewhere inside of the small…

They won't cancel my order
I ordered some wall lights from Tradesuperstoreonline (wish I'd checked the reviews first as now I have they look awful, with so many people having issues!) I know this bit is my fault, but I somehow didn't see the shipping (£19.99) and taxes (£19.71) that were added on - I suspect they weren't very visible but admittedly…

Is this misleading, or am I being stupid?
I bought this instore at Sainsburys Nissin Soba Protein Classic Instant Wok Style Noodles Pot 92g | Sainsbury's The reason I bought it was simple. It said in very large lettering on the front "Source of protein - 18g per pack". I reasonably took the "per pack" at face value and took it to mean "per pot". I would not have…
