Amazon - to return, or not to return
Hi everyone So I've been in the market for a new gaming laptop, and I've run aground somewhat. I'm hoping that the ever-wise users of MSE can give me some advice on what to do. I bought a Razer Blade 2018 model through Amazon Warehouse for £1,000, which I understand is their way of selling returned or used goods. The…

Borders Eggs - outstanding generosity and thoughtfulness
There are many stories of people behaving badly during the crisis, and many more of selfless acts, and I thought I'd mention this one. Yesterday evening there was a knock on the door; when I opened it, a woman proferred me a tray of eggs, saying that they were a gift in the light of egg shortages in the local shops. This…

Amazon don’t care
I had a thought this morning regarding potentially infected
Amazon delivery drivers and came up with a solution – after a similar
suggestion in a email from Papa Johns Why not allow drivers to txt customers, minutes before a
delivery is due and this would allow customers to watch out for the delivery and
the driver could…

Does anyone have the 'new' Tesco clubcard account up & running yet? Joint with both parties points showing? Old one was joint with husband, now Tesco have changed it to just his with a zero points balance, though according to his receipts he is earning points (though pretty meagre, he's slow to get his wallet out). My…

Uber Eats Promotion
A bit late now for this particular example, but be warned for future ones. Uber Eats emailed me a promotion offering Free Unlimited Delivery until March 1st. On two separate occasions I have tried and failed to use this offer. Each time, the app told me the offer was not available. Taking it up with Uber Eats, I was first…

No seat booking facility on Trans Pennine Express
I recently booked a First Class Airport Advance Single from Manchester Airport to Edinburgh. I couldn’t book a seat at the time I booked the train and assumed this was a glitch on the website and contacted TPE about this. I received this reply: Thank you for contacting TransPennine Express regarding your seat reservation,…

British Airways mess, where do I comply???
On January I booked two flights with BA, paying with cash and 45600 avios. I had to cancel one of the flights, but the site only allowed me to cancel BOTH (or none). So I had to do it on the phone. I cancelled my flight and tried to change my husband's return, but the few options at a reasonable price were extremely…

B and Q
We went to B and Q yesterday and noticed they had a special offer of 10% off their products on production of their B and Q card. We went to pay for the item and mentioned to the cashier we did not have our card on us. The advisor said nothing could be done as the card needed to be scanned. I then said what about if I go to…

Prestige Flowers - Anything but Prestige
Look at their website. Looks good. Implies you're going to get Prestige flowers delivered with care from a local florist. Prices are definitely Prestige. What you actually get are flowers in a box in the post. Yes, really. They rely on the postman to deliver these. So much for paying a premium for hand-delivered…

Ordered 4 pairs of glasses on the 12th July... As of today 2 pairs are 'in the post' and the other 2 haven't even shipped yet. Dreadful customer service - rang them several times and they just promise to call back and never do! Avoid!

Advice on complaining to RAC
Hi, I'm looking for some advice. Last week myself my OH and two children aged 6 and 8 were travelling home when I broke down on the motorway. I managed to pull into the SOS layby called RAC at 6.15pm and was told to wait outside the car and we were priority so someone would be out within 45 minutes. It was cold raining and…

School admission rant
We live opposite a secondary school, literally opposite - I can see the school gates from my kitchen window. My son hasn't been offered a place there, so unless we successfully appeal, he will have to walk 40 minutes to school. Stupid system.

Breville Halo+ Air Fryer
I was given a Breville air fryer over a year ago by a family member who has now passed away. The air fryer has now become faulty - the timer no longer works so you need to keep a sharp eye on it - for example, I could set the cooking time as 20 minutes, and it will go on cooking indefinitely till I unplug it. Also the…

TalkTalk charging for emails!
Many years ago when I first went on the internet so probably in the early 90’s maybe 80’s (I’m old now and forget!) I signed up to free email initially with Lineone and a second email address with Tiscali. Both these ISPs were subsequently taken over by TalkTalk. In the last week I’ve had an email from TalkTalk stating…
