Just had an email from paypal claiming that I added a new email address and that it needs to be verified (picture of email attached).

Using WISH online shopping
I ordered items , thankfully not very expensive. I was given a four week delivery time, however every week when the delivery is due, the date is put back a week. There is no way to contact them. Is this a scam? Even if it is not I think it should be avoided.

Royal Mail Tracking is it worth it?
I sent two items through Royal Mail over two weeks ago and Royal Mail online tracking is not showing any updates. One of the parcels was delivered last week and confirmed by the recipient. The other was a very important letter and I don't know if that's been delivered. Is it worth paying extra to get a tracked service when…

Since then I have put them in bags provided by 3 different collectors, and put the bags out on the days they say they will collect, but not one of them has actually bothered to turn up. So all they're doing is shoving…

Praise for Drain 24/7
I suppose this is a bit delayed, but also not really. Some might remember my post roughly a couple months ago where I mention a certain drainage company who screwed me over when they came to my diner to do my drain lining.

Probably no real home for this on MSE but I am annoyed at my brain not working so thought here better than anywhere else If you think of things with a banded scale, eg income tax, there are two ways these sorts of things can be applied (I'll use income tax as an easy example but we all know how it works in reality).... you…
