Amazon Safe place delivery options
Hi, I've just noticed that the Front Porch option for safe place to leave deliveries from Amazon has gone from the list. Has anyone else noticed this? I contact Amazon via chat but didn't get very far, they basically said choose one of the options closest to what I wanted but I advised the closest is Front Door which will…

Supermarket trolley parking
There was a thread a few days ago about this but I can't find it. It was about lazy people being anti-social and not putting the trolley back in their right place. Just saw, read this. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/18858084/shocking-moment-lazy-bmw-driver-dumps-trolley-priceless-karma/

Fell for a new phone scam...
We should have been more careful, should have done our due dilligence - but oh well we are where we are. Scam we fell for was basically the one in the link below. The differences for us are, it was 2 phones that were delivered rather than one. 1 phone was sent to the scammers. When the 2nd phone arrived it's when we…

Is Amazon Prime delivery just a bit of a con?
I have had amazon prime for a while, and don't get me wrong i do really like it and find it convenient, but one thing i do find a bit annoying and makes me feel like prime isn't as good as it's made out is simply because i am paying up front for the prime service, but i always find items that i buy always seem to be dearer…

You can request a copy of any restaurant/takeaway inspection report from your local council.
This is a warning with a side-order of vent. A takeaway near me started doing a type of food I've been dying to try and the food was pretty good. Not, I suspect absolutely authentic but still good. Then someone pointed out it had a 1 out of 5 hygiene rating, which gave me second thoughts. The restaurant replied to the…

Hi all, new guy here, I was involved in a rear end shunt (sept 2021) where my insurer Onecall insurance Limited handled my claim against the guy that hit my vehicle.

Post office - long delivery times
OK so my brother sent me a letter. Granted it was from overseas but that usually would just add a week at most. But he got my postcode wrong. Slightly wrong, and only the very last digit. So the post office should have got it somewhere quite local. And then someone should have realised that the actually address is correct.…

Hermes/Evri Lost Laptop
Can anyone help? Hermes collected a laptop for me and messaged me that it was at the depot for delivery, but it never arrived. They then said it was lost, then damaged, and finally lost again. I have all correspondence. They are saying sorry we lost it but we won't compensate you. I emailed Martijn De Lange directly and…

A warning about the London Clinic of Nutrition
I am writing here because somehow London Clinic of Nutrition can take down unflattering Google reviews and I would like to warn others who might be in a similar position from throwing away their money. The clinic makes a lot of promises that they can treat those who suffer from various dietary problems and anyone with such…

Warning - Nextdoor App
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,…

Travel Insurance Warning
Bit of a warning. In the current climate of cancellations, it seems that there are a number of travel insurance policies out there that will not provide cover for accommodation costs, etc if the airline cancels the flight. Admiral, Post Office and others have a requirement that the cancellation must be as a result of a…

Amazon/UPS - terrible!
Ordered item from Amazon about 2-3 week ago. Took an age to even get dispatched. Supposed to be delivered yesterday - get notification "more address information required". Fair enough the house isn't great. It's on the main A road but it only has a name, no number. After seeing a TV advert I now include what3words…

Anyone else had trouble with Superdrug's website? a few weeks back I tried to buy some stuff but the website declined both my credit and debit cards. As these are regularly used elsewhere without any difficulty I asked Superdrug's Customer Support for help, they blamed WorldPay and told me to sort it out myself. They…

Are Supermarkets making us deaf - Your Thoughts
Hi everyone, has anyone ever noticed at their local supermarkets that the volume levels for either the music being played in store, or tannoy announcements, or the volume levels at the self service checkouts are deafeningly loud and can potentially damage your hearing? I've noticed recently in a lot of supermarkets where I…

DD problems So Energy
Just a heads up to let people know So Energy have not been collecting DDs for May. Spent 2 days trying to resolve and paid by Debit Card. Eventually a CS advisor eventually admitted systems down for a few weeks. In this digital age wouldn't it have been easier to put an announcement online. The likelihood is now when fixed…
