Is BrandAlley legitimate?
Has anyone bought from them? They seem to have been around for a long time and I have found a small number of reviews online suggesting that the site sells superfakes (i.e. high quality counterfeits). Majority of the reviews seem positive though, with most complaints being about long shipping times. Is it too good to be…

Return label printed but can't get to Post Office
Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question! I am exchanging a pair of shoes for another size and the company have provided a free pre-paid "Tracked 48" label for the return but I can't safely get to a Post Office. Would it still be delivered OK if I put it in the post box? It's low value, the 48 hours isn't critical and the…

Import duties
Not really the correct category, sorry, but couldn't find a better one. When the UK really leaves the EU, does anyone know whether goods bought from the EU would be subject to the same rules as goods bought from the USA for example - e.g. VAT, customs handling, etc, etc. This would/might affect e.g. CDs and books and…

Extended Warranty: Added Care from John Lewis
We are buying several new appliances (oven, hob, fridge, freezer, etc) and John Lewis offers a five year extended warranty called 'Added Care'. We usually avoid extended warranties, because they're not good value for money, but we were wondering if the 'Added Care' that John Lewis offers may be the exception to the rule?…

Amazon Prime membership
Does anyone know round here when the best time usually is to sign up for Amazon Prime? £79 is a bit steep to me. Admittedly I did just cream £26 off them by signing up to their platinum credit card for a £20 gift card and then sniping a £6 bonus for topping up my amazon account with £80. So, I suppose If I just swallow it…
