Clearly set up to take advantage of the current situation. Whilst they appear to offer the usual payment options, credit/debit card, PayPal, and bank transfer, if you try to…

Laura Ashley
Warning - Laura Ashley in administration. I ordered items on 1st April, still not even dispatched and along with many others (see Trustpilot), no confirmation of when items will be sent but money taken immediately (01 April).

Airtime Parking should be avoided!
Has anybody used airtime parking before for Heathrow? We found it on Looking4Parking through MSE as they had a promotion. We went on holiday at the beginning of February 2020 (which feels like last year already!) Terrible service, their office looked like it had been rammed by something and boarded up badly. Customer keys…

It seems in the last week or so we've had new sign-ups across the board with people jumping up and down because they can't return their faulty tv, or wondering why the plants they ordered haven't been delivered in the 3-5 days it usually takes, or why they can't get a refund on some faulty furniture until the stores…
