Went out to bring them in, quick open the lids to check - green general bin, check - purple plastic / tin bin, tinfoil pie case stuck in bottom but…

MyHermes stolen parcels, bad delivery behaviour - how to fix?
Delivery drivers in our area leave parcels out on the street when no one is home, so they are stolen. This happens regularly. This week a parcel was left at the wrong address by the MyHermes delivery driver. Anyone know how to complain about this? It is impossible to talk to anyone through the website. There is something…

Smeg Fridge/Freezer - landfill after six years!
Bought for £1600 in 2015 and at a new cost of £2000 our Smeg fridge freezer has a faulty defrost heater which is apparently obsolete so the fridge/freezer is landfill or we can manually defrost every two weeks or so! It has therefore cost us £333
per year! Smeg have offered us 30% off a new one but why would I do that and…

AX Paris Warning!!
Warning to anyone who shops in AX Paris! As well as being charged individual postage on each item you return (even if they are in the same parcel) you are also charged VAT!

Amazon Lightning Deals *BEWARE*
I would hope the savvy members of this forum don't get fooled by these, but they need reiterating I feel. Amazon Lightning Deals are frequently a massive rip off, hugely inflated prices with a short window with which to buy the goods which makes you more likely to impulse purchase. With Black Friday coming up soon DO YOU…

Boots 3 for 2 offers
Having selected and paid for 6 Christmas presents on Boots the chemist 3 for 2 offers for my 84 year old mother in law I received a message that one item was not in stock. There was no offer of an alternative item or refund. This is poor customer care and I feel the marketing needs to be rebranded as follows ‘ 3 for 2 all…

I can’t request any kind of contact through the “amazing” live chat with Holly as I wasn’t provide with any tracking number or card number.

Sky Charges
I am currently experiencing difficulties with Sky and wondered if anyone had any advice? In August I reduced some of my services with sky as my contract was renewing and I wanted to reduce my outgoings.

Good service from M&S
Last December I wanted to get a warm waterproof anorak to go for long walks in. Saw one in M&S with recycled duck down, it was expensive £160.00 but a Sparks offer brought it down to almost £140.00. Used it in the cold weather and put it away spring and summer, used it on Sunday when it was very wet and had trouble with…

Breastfeeding
I feel very angry and upset about being asked to leave my local Costa coffee store because I was breastfeeding my newborn. I was well covered and I even placed a Muslin cloth over both of us so there wasn’t any skin on show. If I’d work a scoop neck top there would have been more skin visible. A server came up to me and…

Webuybooks experience on Ebay
Avoid these crooks at all costs. I asked to get some real pictures of a book as it was a stock photo and they ignored my request for nearly a week but then lowered the price of it by about £4. I went back to check if they have replied but to my dismay they put the price up from £27 to a £100. I have never ever seen any…
