Be careful with Cashplus Business Accounts
I opened a Cashplus business account during the first 'lockdown' since high street banks weren't open to new business. I need to accept a payment from overseas, so I went to an online IBAN calculator as I've done in the past, so I did so in this case. It is wrong. In fact, Cashplus only have a single IBAN code for all of…

Argos - horrific customer service
Ridiculously lengthy post - grabbed from my review of them. Ordered a TV at start if the month with delivery advertised as being from 24hrs. Got an email next morning saying delivery would be a week later so got onto live chat to cancel. Was assured this would be done within 5 days. A few day later get a text from my bank…

British Airways call waiting time -v- 24 hour notice
I probably dont blame the call centre agent (guess we still call them that even though they are at home) as they are inevitably totally unempowered but they annoyed the hell out of me.... Was due to travel abroad for a business meeting/training session that cannot be done remotely, booked a reward flight with British…

Cheap Dr Martens or so I thought BE CAREFUL
Came across this website https://www.docmartenboots.store/ and my jaw nearly dropped as I've been after a pair of these for ages and was waiting till the prices dropped. I even got to the point of loading up my cart with 4 pairs and then I began to get suspicious when I looked at the Shipping & Returns and noticed there…

John Lewis terrible service
I ordered and paid for some perfume for my daughter in law for Christmas in mid November. Since 1st December it is showing as at the Hermes depot with no update since. I have been chasing it up with John Lewis and getting nowhere. They are saying they are awaiting a response from Hermes as to what has happened to it. When…

Royal Mail £8 Internal Post Handling Fee scam?
This is very loosely paraphrased from my phonecall this morning to royal mail complains after I got done for a £8 "royal mail international handling fee". That, on top of, paying £4.97 duty/VAT on an order for £33. So a total of £13 with the added bonus of the parcel delivery being delayed and me having to pick it up…

Why do clothing companies mess about with sizes?
An annoyance rather than a problem but compounded by the fact that, at present, most shops do not allow trying on garments before purchase. You know the feeling, you buy the item in your usual size, take it home, try it on and find you're either confined in a straight jacket or enveloped in a tent. To illustrate, I…

Samsung's unclaimable warranty
I needed a new phone in a hurry, so on Monday I went on Amazon and found a nice Samsung phone. It's an "Amazon Exclusive", so I assume only Amazon sells that specific model in the UK. I paid extra for express delivery, and it turned up this morning. Having read plenty of "someone's stolen my phone" threads on this forum…

Amazon Subscribe and Save loophole closed
Hey, I guess you guys may be more savvy - and this may be old news? But I couldn't find it through a google search. It seems Amazon have changed their Subscribe and Save deal Used to be 5% off for 1 - 4 different items in one order, and 15% if you have 5 or more in the order. Now, on the first delivery it's only ever 5%…

Pura Life Labs
I have ordered some marine collagen capsules a pack of 6 for £119, so not a small amount of money to be out of pocket. This Co has really good reviews for their various product. It is now more than 2 weeks since I ordered these and still not arrived. Impossible to get in touch with them. Did manage eventually to send an…

Top cashback warning. They increase prices to give you cashback
Hi, doing some shopping today on MLB Europe website, being a savvy shopper after deciding what I wanted I checked with top cashback to see if they offered any cashback. Which they did 4.5%. I clicked the link only to find the jacket I was looking at had increased from £25 to £29 and a T-shirt from £10 to £12. Has anyone…

Ocado delivery charges
Is it just me, or does anyone else think a six pounds 99 charge for any delivery is excessive ?

Morrison’s home delivery rip off!
* On 16th December I was delivered short to the value of £147.90! (300 cigarettes for my sister, for which she had already paid me) * The delivery was contactless due to the driver not wearing a mask and, and a vulnerable person in household, so he was asked to leave the delivery inside the porch. * As soon as the driver…

Warburton's Potato Cakes
I will not be buying Warburton's Potato Cakes ever again. They taste awful and dry even when I put plenty of Flora buttery on them. They made me very thirsty all day. No surprise when they are packed with salt. Anyone on a low sodium diet shouldn't buy or eat these if offered. I bought the Sheldon's potato cakes a few days…

Just Giving
Perhaps it is just me, but I'm livid after having made a donation to charity to discover that Just Giving charged my card more than I agreed to, to line their own pockets. I have no objection to them asking if I want to make a donation to help their website and me having a choice. But to have an untick box in a tiny font…

My partner nearly fell victim to a Facebook scam yesterday. She contacted someone who was selling some dog grooming equipment on the marketplace. The…
