Are Amazon free "standard" charges for delivery unfair?
Amazon offers free "standard" delivery for orders over £35. However, at checkout, the default option is paid for delivery not the free "standard" delivery. I think this is a misleading and unfair practice.
Costco returns without receipt
Does anyone know if Costco can track a purchase I made over six months ago as I want to return a faulty item I purchased but I don't have the paper receipt.
Amazon says Free Delivery but charge added
Can anyone tell me why on 3 items where it seems to say Free Delivery on each one and they amount to over £38 I've got a £4.99 delivery charge? I can't find out which one it is. What do I have to look for or how? It's been a long time since I purchased on their site because of this but to get 2 of the items means a 55mile…

Safe Style UK Administration and payments

Hello I’m new to very and was given a £600 limit as a new customer now I placed a order of £280 for a item and it’s showing as being processed but my £600 balance is the same. I thought it should go down after each order and I had no email confirmation is this normal ??
Boots in-store recycling
I've seen inside Boots they offer 500 points for 5 unrecyclable items. My understanding is a minimum of 5 items from their list is required for the 500 points, and you need to wait for the pictures to be validated (it can take up to 24hrs) and then deposit in-store otherwise you would not be rewarded the 500 points. So…

Anyone used Wowcher airport/lounge deals?
We are going away in May and Wowcher always seem to have deals on but I've never used them. For instance you can buy a £2 Wowcher to get Upto 40% off for parking at East Midlands and another deal for the airport lounge. Are these deals worth purchasing or are they usually a bit of a con.?
FatFace sale items and product code relabelling
Anyone noticed recently, well ever since Next took over FatFace, that some older stock has seemingly been relabelled with new product codes presumably to avoid being discounted in their sales. I've seen it recently before with a pair of jeans listed in the sale but with limited to no stock but when in store I noticed the…
JamDoughnut Gift Card Sharing in Google Wallet
Hi Anyone know how to share a gift card in your JamDoughnut account with Google Wallet? It's an Asda one. Many thanks
Just had a £30 One4all card declined (online) trying to purchase a £30 John Lewis voucher.
These 'debit card' gift cards are such a waste of time, with the no purchase greater than the card value rule, and the e-gift card workaround is declined at JL. What am I doing wrong?
Boots 70%
It seems to have gone to 70. Does anyone have idea on when the 90 %will be
What is the/your etiquette on buy in store vs online

What's the biggest Christmas waste of money?
In the interests of cutting down the Christmas shopping bill, what do you think is the biggest waste of money at Christmas? Maybe you think presents for babies aren't worth it, or for toddlers and pets who'll only be interested in the box anyway. Or is there a Christmas dinner item that everyone hates but still gets served…
