Amazon - item doesn't arrive then no stock to replace.
I often order from Amazon, for myself and for elderly neighbours. Parcels have only failed to arrive on three occasions. On each of those occasions, there has been no stock to replace the goods ordered. I am wondering whether they were ever posted in the first place (ie they received an order after the last of their stock…

Depop
Hello, I’m trying to contact Depop about a parcel I sent which hasn’t been delivered by the courier but there doesn’t appear to be a contact number to use. Does anybody know how to contact these people (hopefully a human being) as I’m just going around in circles. It’s not clear who is responsible, the courier or depop who…

Origin Broadband - beware
I was until recently a customer of Origin Broadband for just over three years. During that time I had continually failing service, at least four failures of router which I had to wait a fortnight for a replacement, being palmed off every time by a small cheque for my inconvenience. IMPORTANTLY, when I changed provider, I…

Please be wary of Valued Opinions - they have stolen £150 from me before Christmas
I hope this is in the right place, if not feel free to move it moderators. I have been a member of Valued Opinions since 2014, that is over 6 years now. I have never had any problems or issues until the past year, when they stopped automatically paying out on surveys and I was forced to chase up payments for several…

VAT-Free anomaly
Anyone else annoyed every time one of those adverts for gold bullion comes on and reminds us that there’s no VAT on gold purchases! Why, when essentials are liable to VAT?!

Dentist Overcharge
I think my Dentist is bending the rules? Each time I visit for a check up he checks my teeth then tells me to make an appointment with the Hygienist for a scale and polish. This ends up costing me £65.20. I think it should be £23.80 as stated in the details below taken from the NHS website. Band 1 course of treatment –…

Cost of living always increasing
Is it just me or do the big things like rent and bills always rise AT LEAST by inflation but usually higher. And wages or benefits for those who can't work rise by inflation if you're lucky but often not at all. So the real spending power of ordinary people goes down and down each year. Added to that RPI is often used for…

HELP! Trapped in SkinnyFoodCo subscription that I never signed up for
I made a purchase on the SkinnyFoodCo website in January that I thought was a 1-off purchase and paid using my credit card. The goods arrived (late but probably understandable due to Covid) but soon after I noticed a pending payment for another £16.61 on my credit card to SkinnyFoodCo. I emailed them asking about this and…

Nectar Points - Security Breach
Warning: Check your Nectar points! Just had my card hacked for the 2nd time and all my accrued points spent in a store hundreds of miles from where I live. And this is after getting a new card, regularly updating my password and not letting the card out of my sight! They took 7,000 points in one go, which I noticed the the…

Google warranty praise
Last weekend my Google Pixel phone wouldn't charge. I've only had it a few months so I went onto Google's support site to report a fault. They sent an address label to print out and a link to book a collection from home with DHL. Phone was picked up Monday afternoon, delivered to Google in Poland on Tuesday, the fault with…

Praise for Amazon.
Unusual I know but I have to commend Amazon over a recent purchase. We made the mistake of asking the oldest what he wanted for his birthday which is tomorrow. Mistake for two reasons. We asked last Saturday only giving ourselves 6 days if it was something we could give and two he came up with something I could not find in…

Vent at retailers covid hand sanitiser at the door
Anyone else notice that the hand sanitiser at the front door of a lot of shops is not smelling of alcohol and I doubt has any effect on covid. The one I just used at Home Bargains left a sticky residue and smelled of nothing.

Phone scams
Groan. We don't normally have much of a problem with phone scammers, but this morning - literally within 5 minutes of each other - Mr S had the 'arrest warrant issued for unpaid taxes' and I had the 'there's a problem with your internet connection'. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come - there's only so much fun one…

Will people who work with children get fed up of doing a covid test at home
My missus is a dinner lady and when she went into work friday she was given a covid test kit to do the test twice a week but after watching my missus do the test I don't think people will do the test as it's to much messing about with the test then she needs to email her employer with the results.

Quickie Divorce shysters
Anyone else had dealings with these people? I paid £347 for them to do the paperwork for me. Then I was asked for another £550 for court fees which I couldn't afford so I requested a refund. Or at least a partial one which was refused. It should be a simple case as husband deported 12 years ago. Not sure who to turn to for…

I’ve been having a private number call my mobile several times a day since Thursday. I normally ignore these calls but I’m waiting for a medical appointment so decided to answer the call this morning. It was from my (business) energy provider?..... explaining that because businesses were closed because of COVID they were…
