Praise, vent & warnings

Just a quick warning on TSOhost when making new purchases. Purchased a new domain name tonight for a project we've been working on since last week, and on going to pay their website has not asked for card details and simply processed using the details on file. A sub-£10 debt effectively from me to a company I own isn't a…

"Don't want to hear about Mother's Day? We understand - let us know below" Is anyone else getting these emails? Can anyone explain why getting an email solely about opting out of Mother's Day emails is somehow better than just receiving a run-of-the-mill email with Mother's Day type stuff?

Yesterday I signed up to the MSE Forum to enable me to post a comment on energy costs. Today I had two attempts to get me to authorise access to a Twitter account using the ID name I had used for the MSE Forum. Fortunately I don't use this ID for anything else so the Twitter account doesn't exist but worth noting that one…

I contacted Premier Foods today as a pack of 6 Mr Kipling jam tarts I'd bought (cost £1) contained 4 with blackurrant jam and none with raspberry jam. They replied within 90 minutes, apologising for the error and sending me a £3 voucher to be used for any Premier Foods products. Very good service and resonse for what was…

Just a word of warning to everyone on here about paypal buyer protection policy. I took advantage of an offer on social media, paying with paypal, to buy some items that were offered as buy 5 get 3 free, so expected to receive 8. I only received 5. Contacted the seller to ask about the 3 free. Was told, in broken english,…

Just read this - the open letter is certainly something worth reading. https://www.ebac.com/wm-which/ While you can't believe everything you read, I'm more inclined to believe the company on this occurance as I can see Which only looking at certain criteria. Not a good look for Which and calls into question a large amount…

Hi, I ordered some items from this chemist's website on 25 October 2021 and they took my credit card payment the same day, £18.85. Next day they sent me an email advising my order had been despatched and I should receive it within a few days. A few hours later on the same day, I received an email to say that the product…

OK, I've been told many times my sense of humour is weird, but my best laugh was being notified by the Facebook Community Support bot that one of my posts was being blocked for breaching their guidelines. Very rarely post on FB, probably four or five times in two years but hey ho. This one was a very obviously…

I went to pay for something using my Visa Credit Card on Amazon and a large notice appeared "Due to the high fees Visa charges for processing credit card transactions, starting 19 Jan, 2022, we will no longer accept Visa credit cards issued in the UK. Please change your default payment method, or add and use an eligible…

I don’t like to use fabric conditioner on my clothes (I use white vinegar instead) so I stopped using Bold years ago when it became ‘2 in 1’. However, it cleaned better than anything else I’ve used so I recently looked at the box again and I don’t see any fabric conditioner in the ingredients. I noticed the wording is also…

I've posted this on a local Facebook group to me, but did want to post it here too to raise awareness. Just a friendly notice for anyone who has received an invite for an app called Nextdoor, it looks like a data harvesting company. A relative signed up to this believing it was akin to a Neighbourhood Watch service,…

I wonder if anyone else has been caught by this company, I did not sign up to them, but they took £15.00 from my bank account. I have contacted them and cancelled an account they set up in my name and demanded they refund my money. It came from a company from whom I made a purchase, I would recommend avoiding them. I…

Apologies if this is not in the correct section but I wanted to share my experience to see if anyone else has suffered this problem. We visited our local KFC recently, and started our order, then the girl at the til said what drinks would you like so I asked for a regular coke which is what I always have, yet the girl said…

Hi I returned my sky routers for new ones. As sky increased our internet speed as we had some issues with sky q so we upgraded to the fastest internet. Sky told us to return the old equipment we did but they still charged us £50. I been with then for over 20 years. They have done it to many people. I lost the post office…

On Monday we had a nearby lightening strike which threw our trips and stopped the internet. Having tried all the usual things, including another router we already had, we contacted BT. They sent an engineer within 2 days to check out the wiring and posted us a minihub to keep us going. He could not cure it so they sent an…

Having used this service satisfactorily for the last twelve months, I am staggered at the prices now being charged through Amazon compared to the actual prices in store. I don't mind a mark-up for free delivery but the difference in prices are excessive. It just seems something is really wrong here and maybe this is worthy…

I was buying a brand new car and was not impressed with the best trade in price offered on our 'old' car at £10,500 by the dealer. I took it to my local Evans Halshaw sell your car branch, pretty much a posh portacabin near a supermarket. The website had offered £12,250 which is high end of all the price-estimating sites I…

I've been using Asda opticians on Hessle Rd in Hull for a number of years. Excellent examination and honest helpful staff when choosing new frames. 2 pairs for £120 varifocals..thinner lenses etc. 

Hi. If you hurry to LIDL Supermarket, the carnations @ £1.79 last 6 weeks. I was really thrilled with mines. Hope that helps someone.
