Evri Customer Services Non existent
I had 2 parcels sent to me by a family member, the parcels contain things of sentimental value that can't be replace. I didn't know they were going to send them by EVRI if I had known I would have stopped them. I did not find out until they had already sent both parcels. They sent them Tuesday and paid for next day…

TV repeats
There should be a law against it. BBC show 56% of their air time on repeats. I don't know the percentage of the other channels but it must be high. I know we've been through difficult times but they must be still getting revenue from either license fees or advertising. Why don't OFCOM place a percentage maximum limit on…

Airbnb - remember to review honestly!
We left booking a summer holiday rather late, so most costal properties were booked up. We found one that was new to airbnb that had no reviews, but the owner had another property that had nice reviews, so we thought we would take a punt on it. It was at a premium price. The property was "fine", but VERY basic. If we had…

Things I wish someone had told me!
With costs spiralling out of control, I can see my Mum in the same mindset that I was when I purchased "the chair" She's got a lot on her mind worried about how she will be able to afford to live soon, and she's in a spiral of thinking if she spends money on stuff that she will save money with no proper thought of…

Amazon gift vouchers
I wonder if anyone else has been the subject of "highjacked" gift vouchers? Purchased 2 £50 vouchers for my grandson's Christmas present. They were delivered to my son's address and handed over intact. They remained in his secure possession until the boys wanted to spend them a month ago. On entering the numbers, he was…

Gumtree - Is it still available !!!!
Over the last few months I have sold a couple of dozen items on Gumtree. I take the trouble to photograph the item well, write an accurate description and price it attractively. Almost everything has sold, some quicker than others. Why oh why is it that anything that doesn't sell almost immediately attracts "enquiries"…

Student Loan - Phasing of Payments
My son is off to university this September. He will only get the minimum Student Loan, so I will be giving him the difference. He is staying in halls of residence. They require payment for the three terms - Autumn and Spring are calculated on 16.8 weeks worth of rent each, where as Summer is only 8.4 - this makes sense as…

NFU Mutual car insurance
I changed my circumstances earlier this year. I was with M&S Bank for my car insurance - fully comp, driving 30k miles per year, heavy commute on the M25 paying about £700 p.a. I then relocated to rural Oxfordshire to enter full time residential professional training and M&S said they could no longer insure me. It felt…

Adblue and the environment
So i now have a large new van that needs a 10 litre plastic container full of adblue around every 1000 miles (around every 3 weeks). I know cars due much better than this. But what is the environmental benefit of throwing a large plastic container in the waste every few weeks? Am i missing something here? Is there a…

Another FedEx !!!!!!-up, another package disappears into the ether...
I've just had an SMS from FedEx telling me that they were unable to deliver my package. The tracking status on their website shows: "Customer not available or business closed". I have been sitting at the delivery address all day, and no attempts have been made to deliver it. Only 2 months ago FedEx managed to lose the only…

Nationwide did good for me.
Hi everyone. I just wanted to say that I made a complaint to Nationwide a few weeks ago and today they have given me £50. It wasn't a major complaint by any means but it was valid and the compensation was unexpected. So this is just a 'praise' message from me for them. They don't always get things right but if you let them…

Should non alcoholic wines, beers, stouts etc be treated as alcoholic drinks by supermarkets
Non alcoholic (alcohol reduced) wines, spirits, beers and stouts etc are treated by supermarkets in the UK as "Alcoholic drinks". They are excluded as an acceptable item when you have such things as "spend £30 and get £3 discount" etc or as currently with ASDA, the 10% discount with the Blue Light Card. This is a glaring…
