Boots advantage card - bonus points
I’ve had an advantage card for years - but noticed on my last order that I didn’t get quite the points I was expecting. Having looked closer at the terms and conditions I’ve received the right amount - but it could do with being a bit clearer. In the past I’m really sure I would get X bonus points for spending Y pounds -…

Paypal Resolution
It worked for me. Claimed for non-delivery of a parcel where Yodel insisted, several times, that they delivered but did not. Paypal resolved.

Forum ID hack attempt
Yesterday I signed up to the MSE Forum to enable me to post a comment on energy costs. Today I had two attempts to get me to authorise access to a Twitter account using the ID name I had used for the MSE Forum. Fortunately I don't use this ID for anything else so the Twitter account doesn't exist but worth noting that one…

What is happening
I'm not after advice, judgement or anything but I wanted to vent. Earlier today I was seriously assaulted unprovoked by someone whom was riding e-scooter down the pavement. He whacked into my arm deliberately then followed me unknown to myself half a mile before assaulting me and me ending up seriously injured on the…

I just wanted to flag a problem I experienced at Tesco on 18-Feb-2022 when using Scan as you Shop, with Tesco Clubcard & Prices, resulting in an increased bill problem. * It was a fairly small shopping trip, just topping up some items, scanning as I went along. * Using the Scan as you Shop hand-set, you can see the running…

Sainsburys Valentine Day Meal problem
I ordered their £15 for a Valentines Day meal on line. I ordered from the list and fortunately noted the reduced price that showed on my order. When I got the receipt for the delivery I discovered I had been charged the full price for the items - an extra £6.70! I rang Sainsburys Customer Service and was told that because…

Amazon Subscribe & Save - payment taken early and with no notification.
My first repeated order with this service is due in 2 weeks, but I discovered today that Amazon have already taken payment for it, without sending me any notification. They say they send an email before each order goes out; I assumed this would be in advance of the payment (and also that the payment would be closer to the…

Hermes delivery
My parcel was accepted at the drop off shop. The online tracking says the parcel is on it's way to be delivered but this has not changed for 5 days. The online bot says it is on it's way back to me. But I can't ask why or when. I have tried calling then but my tracking number will not be accepted. I do not know what to do…

? 58 pence refund from M&S in the form of an e-card?
I contacted M&S on return home from a journey by bus today, 08 February - (round trip of about 80 minutes plus walking and waiting time) to find that the milk I had bought there was dated 'Use by 05 February.' I telephoned M&S to let them know and, although I don't know what reasonable expectations would be, I was really…

A week later, they took the money from my account again for the goods that I returned! On speaking to to them they apologised and said it was…

A free ipad from Jacamo! Not really. A puzzling occurrence.
Something really strange happened three days ago: I received a plastic bag from the postman (delivery before 1 p.m. paid but I did not have to sign for it). It was correctly addressed to me so I opened it, even though I was not expecting anything. Inside was a beautifully packaged ipad and a customer advice note from…

FeelingBonding.com Possible SCAM or Genuine ??
Foolishly paid £1.98 to register for low cost returned goods which was paid to feelingbonding.com . Registration details sent dont work ! Company is registered as part of Bright Markketing (note spelling) Ltd. Seems like some sort of Scam or moneymaking venture offering little of value - offer too good to be true - no…

Shoppers wearing disposable gloves rant!
I work for a supermarket. Disposable gloves wearing by customers has decreased a lot. Why are some still wearing them? They don’t understand that those in medical and care work change their gloves very frequently - ie between patients or more regularly if got a messy job to do. These people are wearing the same gloves in…

Marks & Spencer complaint - weird?
I spent £89 on a cashmere jumper in December. After two washes the neck was very slack so I complained via their complaints phone line (a foreign girl but very nice). She apologised and said that it was important that their product was first class so she was going to send me a new jumper. I was impressed! Didn't even need…

Stolen parcel paid for with Klarna
I purchased £100 of clothes from River Island which were delivered by Hermes yesterday with photo proof. I listed my doorstep as the safe location because I believed it to be safe. I live in a quiet area with almost no footfall, and knew I'd be home from work within an hour or two of the delivery time. When I arrived home…

Octopus bills saying your account is below zero when you owe them money
Bit of a rant here but also wondering if it's me and things have changed. I use Octopus for electricity only and have a smart meter. I changed to them shortly before the mass failure of energy supply companies last year. We had a couple of teething problems getting them to set up the smart meter but nothing untoward. My…

Tried emailing yesterday and called today but no response. Might be closed as it’s a weekend. The business is called Stationery Hunter. Has anyone else ordered from them…
