Facebook ads are scams or ripoffss
It seems as if a considerable proportion of the adverts on Facebook are either scams, or blatant ripoffs.Recent examples : -Wire brush attachment for strimmer for £39.95 - twice the Ebay price. Solar powered rodent repellent devices - a little research shows that these simply don't work.Bulb planter - for £29.95 (they sell…

Radio Times Subscription
It seemed such a good idea in these times of lockdown to take out a subscription to the Radio Times. Not so. During the past weeks I have only received one copy on time. One didn't materialise at all and the others have arrived on the Wednesday or Thursday (and once on Friday) of the valid week. What good is that if it can…

Dunster House Children’s Climbing Frames
These play systems are not suitable for children over the age of 8 and are not easy to anchor into the ground. We bought the MonkeyFort Woodland Climbing Frame for my children aged 9 and 11. This product says it’s suitable for ages 3 to 14. The swing seats are tiny and my children can’t sit in them comfortably. When…

Is DPD UK the worst company in the world?
Ordered two items from Apple in the same order. Both shipped at the same time from the same place. The first arrived yesterday, on time, with an 11.30-12.30 delivery slot from DPD. The second was inexplicably delayed by 24 hours. Despite being late — and there was no warning or apology for this — the delivery slot is…

Forced back to work from furlough
Fed up of hearing about people moaning that they are being forced back to work having been furloughed. 80% was way to generous and people got too comfortable with their government funded holiday.

Toys Outlet Store (online)
Has anyone on here had any experience with the above company. My son (who has some learning disabilities) is looking after his grandmother who is self isolating and his only respite has been in building the Lego kits he has there. An advert popped up on my social media last Friday and was embedded on several news items…

DO NOT USE - "www.mytechdomestic.com" - FRAUD
The above website appears to offer electronic goods, however if you look closely, the website has a number of pretend links and spelling mistakes. 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). Why if they are unable to deliver items ordered over 18 days ago, are they still allowed to take…

Lockdown - venting as I have the time
Whilst in lockdown I’ve been on the forum a lot and see some common themes that annoy so he’s my vent: 1: Credit cards No you not entitled to the best rates, compensation and an apology because you’ve seen your “credit score” and should get special treatment 2: Loans No you weren’t missold, no they shouldn’t have checked…

Scammed - Desperatley need help
Hi, I am hoping someone may be able to guide me as I believe I've have been scammed. I'll keep this as brief as possible for the time being. I placed a wanted ad on Gumtree for kids toys, a private seller responded and we agreed a price. The next day they said they had other toys I may be interested in, after seeing photos…

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…
