Quick heads-up: Some Amazon lockers you HAVE to have the App on your smartphone to collect!
I ordered an item for my sister to pick up at her local locker. Only when I got the email saying it had arrived was I told that a smartphone with the up to date app was required. She doesn't have a smartphone, so we appear to be stuffed. Amazon will retrieve it in 3 days and refund me, but that's an inconvenience.. But…

Burger King online/app overcharging
If you're ordering Burger King online or in app today check your receipt carefully.Somehow they've charged me £13.05 for a purchase that should have been £9.57 (confirmed by re-creating the order online). If you add up the items on the receipt it comes to £16.04, despite the total being given as £13.05. I think they're…

RMA return to Amazon with DPD
Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has used DPD to send a parcel back to Amazon using a "postage required" RMA. On Saturday 1st October, I booked a "Next Day" delivery with DPD to be collected on the Monday (3rd). DPD came to collect the 3 parcels (3 of the same item) as planned and took it away. Since then, each day I see…

Body Shop butter turned into candle wax
Hello, I know this is pure trivia in a world of absolute mayhem but I'm so disappointed today with the Shea Body 'butter' that the Body Shop has sent me. I did an online order - because we are still isolating as we're two poor souls who are still extremely vulnerable. Anyhoo, the Shea body butter I've loved for years has…

Signing up and not knowing.
Bought an item on-line from Go Groopee (heavily discounted products.) Item was despatched without sufficient address, so Post Office returned it. After much chasing I was given a full refund. Nothing lost, nothing gained - or so I thought. What I didn't know was that I had, inadvertently, signed up to be a member of a…

Evri Collection Shops and Ebay
I ordered a phone from EBay, which was delivered to my chosen collection shop, promptly, by Evri, 4 days ago. I can see that using the tracking number provided by the seller. So far, so good. However the poor shopkeeper can't release the parcel to me because EBay haven't registered the parcel as ready for collection, and…

RAC Travel insurance and Claims Settlement Agency
Just a warning. if you are unlucky enough to make a claim on your RAC travel insurance, you get passed onto a company called Claims Settlement Agency. I have been told my settlement has been fast tracked for payment, I've been waiting since the 1st September and the original claim was made mid July. Emails asking for…

Broadband Prices
Insurance Companies have to offer existing customers the same rates as new customers. I think this should be applied to Broadband Suppliers too - Virgin Media for example are currently charging new customers less than half the fee that current customers pay, and while current customers have old, flaky routers, new…

Tesco Petrol Station Lottery Tickets
This is a post with both venting and praise. On Friday morning I filled up with petrol at a Tesco petrol station, and decided to splash out on a EuroMillions ticket on the off chance of winning £171 million. The ticket was not an ordinary lottery ticket - it came out from the same printer as standard till receipts. And the…

Scam energy bill reduction claim text
Beware! I've just received a text from "The Government" urging me to apply for my energy bill reduction by following a link. I've marked as spam and blocked but feel it may not be the last one I, and others, get. Don't forget that we don't have to do anything to get it - it automatically comes to everyone. And shame on…

Paper tiger
Time after time I see people being advised of their consumer rights and told how they can apply to the small claims court. But what does that actually mean in reality? Doesn't it give false hope that all will be well. That you have the right in law for such and such? You may well have the right but that is no guarantee…
