Looking4Parking.
Not worth the £4 discount via MSE as they were not supposed to charge a booking fee and they did. Also hard to get in touch with them. Live chat worked but to cancel you have to email and they have a huge backlog.

onlinecarparts.co.uk using Evri for scam?
I foolishly ordered some expensive (£460) car parts from onlinecarparts.co.uk (actually a German company AKA AUTODOC AG) on 20 March. AUTODOC charged my card (unfortunately not a credit card) on 26 March, and soon after showed the parts as 'delivered' on their website with a tracking number I tracked down to Evri. The Evri…

Google Find my Device Useless with Chipolo tracker
After waiting nearly a year for Chipolo One point trackers which work on the Google Find My device network I have found myself in a debate with Chipolo. Google rolled out Find my device but unlike Apple all Android users have to opt in to use it which means the network unless in a heavy traffic area is next to useless.…

Possibly fraud Vinted
I listed an item on Vinted. I received a message saying send pictures of the item to her email as she was having problems to see on her Cinted app. She thanked me for the photo and told me she paid for the item. But I couldn’t see the item in my sold list so I contacted her. Also I didn’t receive any notification from…

Sports Direct item, return, and refund issues.
Hi all, This is still ongoing, and not resolved yet, but I felt the need to vent. I purchased the one and only thing I've ever bought from sportsdirect.com at the start of August. It was a boxing bag for my son's birthday present, as he's started karate and wanted to practice at home. They had a good range, so I ordered…

MSE Hoover HF410P Praise, vent and warning!
I’m happy with the MSE offer of the Hoover HF410P and the good discount so that’s the praise. Vent is that although it is advertised as a 3 year warranty it is only possible (so far) to register a one year warranty. I have filled in online forms, rang various departments and put a query on Twitter/X but still not managed a…

Double check if your debit card is declined!
Didnt quite know where to put this but I suppose it qualifies as a warning. If anyone has used a debit card the last few days and had it declined it may be wise to double check your bank statement. Last week I used my debit card in a shop and it was declined. I then tried again using my PIN but again the transaction was…

Guttering replacement cost
Just had a Everest rep called by appointment, to give a quote for replacing gutters, soffits and fascia boards for a bungalow. Astounded at a £6800 quote. Called a local roofer and quoted £2300. No need to guess who I am going to choose

Preying on vulnerable individuals
My dad has just realised that this company have not only been taking £18.50 per month for their ‘rewards club’ but also taking random money ranging from £30-£79. He bought something from them once then it seems they have ‘signed him up’ without his knowledge. They have taken over £1300 from him. He has been in touch with…

Amazon are great except when hiking prices overnight
This is a vent and I accept I'm unlikely to find agreement. I am a Prime member - years now - and buy on Amazon regularly. Only gripe to date is when drivers leave parcels with neighbours across the road and don't even warn me or ring my bell while I'm at home waiting. Luckily I have honest neighbours. Yesterday I checked…

Amazon making life difficult
As a very senior citizen I can't cope with a smartphone despite several attempts and grandson's help. I make extensive use of the desktop PC, including many Amazon purchases. The returns options have frequently been altered and the latest only offers one way that does not need a smartphone. This is to print a label and…

Thomson & Morgan 'special' offer
I enjoyed this site's special offer, so yesterday I took out the 268 Bulbs - Spring Saver Bulb Collection £8.00 each + P&P. The following day I got an email from Thomson & Morgan for 150 Bulbs - Spring Saver Bulb Collection £3.00 each, cheaper by buld. I think they're taking us for a ride

UK Pet Chip Registry scam website - warning
Dogs need to be fitted with a microchip before they are eight weeks old. The microchip will show up when it is scanned and the details are kept on a Government approved database. You’re responsible for keeping your dog’s microchip information up to date, for example if you move house. You can be fined up to £500 if your…

Why do some people think *gratuities* should always be paid?
A number of years ago the Advertising Standards Agency gave advice that non-optional charges should be included in the total cost, or at least made explicit (if memory serves me correctly). Lots of places, from restaurants to cruise ships, expect people to pay tips - sometimes a significant proportion of the total cost. I…

Hoover HF9 anti hair wrap 'Home Edition' cordless vacuum (single battery edition) for £140
I ordered it plus an additional attachment (turbo nozzle) and only received the attachment but no hoover today. So where is my hoover???? I tried to contact the company but they do not have a valid contact telephone number. Their online and email service does not respond. Won't be using any of this site's deals again if…

Displayed Hotel Prices on Booking Sites
Does anyone else find it as annoying as me, that when your searching for dates, on either a booking site or a hotel's website, a lot seem to be in the habit of only displaying a price per night instead of the total price. Why the hell do I need to know the nightly price?? What I want to know is how much in total I need to…

First Direct cheque app incredibly picky about images
This is definitely in the 'vent' category.... I received a cheque for the princely sum of £5. Having not used the First Direct cheque paying in function on the app before, I thought this would be a good time to try it out. Having put the cheque on a dark background, as recommended, I have proceeded to take literally…

WARNING - Tesco Marketplace 😕
We have been receiving online groceries from Tesco for years, and usually they're OK. Suddenly they have introduced a lot of "marketplace" sellers, but they haven't made it clear that these work quite differently. When you place an order for grocery items, you can check out, change your mind, and check out again, so long…

Gardening Express and s a dreadful company
Hello, I also purchased on the 09/06/24, 15 bareroot roses from Gardening Express website, I t took over two weeks before they arrived. Of the 15 bareroot roses 9 did not come up. I did receive an email from Customer Service from Lizzie to ask me to do a stem test which is what I did and I sent it back. I’ve sent over 13…
