Vent re: Daily Chemist, Bracknell - they took my payment and did not refund when item out of stock.
Hi, I ordered some items from this chemist's website on 25 October 2021 and they took my credit card payment the same day, £18.85.

Sky complaints email
Is anyone able to confirm the latest Sky email address format for complaints? I'd usually be able to find it on the FCA register but they aren't showing one. From that i'd then look on linkedin to find their senior execs and combine the names and email formats....... I.e. is it @sky.com @bskyb etc etc etc (These aren't…

Post Office & Royal Mail - outdated, incompetent and cutting corners
Not often I post here - but here we go! I use Royal Mail for sending small items, receiving goods and also at work for dispatch of between 20 and 50 items a day - and it seems lately they're just cutting corners and costs to the extreme. From the perspective of a business, there's so many old processes that could be…

Sports direct buyer beware
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s having problems with these companies I’ve put items in my basket and if the item isn’t available it will put another size or colour in but you don’t see the change at checkout instead you find out when you are sent an email of your order. This has happened a few times now and when I’ve…

Tesco shelf labels. Make sure you have your glasses on.
Nearly got caught out by this Tesco label. Chorizo £2.50, the Any 2 for £2 refers to Cheeses, I had to photograph the text and blow it up to be sure as I didn't have glasses with me. OK so it looks like a too good to be true offer, but if it had been, say, 2 for £3 or £4 I would not have checked and would have ended up…

I bought a De Walt drill set from Screwfix on the 27th November as a Christmas present for my wife to give me.

What a fiasco, yes we have it / no we don't have it/try our other store/ coming in 2nd Dec but not guaranteed etc, etc. But selected a model I liked, came home and ordered from AO. Same price and free…
