    A few months ago i bought a pair of K swiss tounge twisters (the ones where you can turn the tounge round either way)
    Now 3 months into having them, while putting one on the tounge snapped off, so i cant wear them now - without looking like a prat lol!
    I have sent a email to k swiss, just wondering if its likely they will do anything? Seeing as i would only wear the shoes once or twice a week.
  • i had a great time with orange mobile trying to cancel my contract>

    i forgot to write down the reference number when i spoke to the "customer retention department" bless em they didnt cancel my contract at all and just continued to charge me

    nice man< NOT when i rang up who was really sarcastic and refused to believe a word i was saying> he refused to do anything about the situation> when i sent a strong letter they agreed to refund the two months they had overcharged as a "goodwill gesture"

    wont make that mistake again lol

    soz if this is a bit random< i have done something to my keyboard and lost all my punctuation somewhere :(

    Ok, latest news is that my new bed is to be delivered on Wednesday morning......between 7 and 12!!! So this means I have to get up at 6 to dismantle to old bloody thing! Ah,well, beggars can't be choosers I suppose!

    New bed arrived, much better than the old one. Only problem was a damaged bolt, but Argos sent a replacement out a day later, and no harm was done. After all the shindigs beforehand, nice to finally get it sorted.

    Lesson learned- if they don't listen to you, GO TO THE TOP!

    I once complained to Pringles that every time I bought their crisps the bottom 10 percent were broken - I got a five pound voucher a few days later

    I also received a copy of that email...from Lisa though!
    Followed by a £6.00 voucher received the next day.

    I wrote a very polite email explaining how literally every other nappy out of a bumper pack had leaked.
    It had happened at home & in playgroup so I knew it wasn't my 'nappy putting on technique'!!
    I found there customer service department to be fantastic!

    Re my post above

    Today one month after my complaint I have received a letter of apology from Tescos and a £15 gift card which was a nice surprise.

    I did send them copies of my receipts as proofs of purchase so they could provide feedback to the stores.

    I wrote to Tesco about a yoghurt, never got a reply. I wasn't expecting much from them though.

    I got a £5 voucher from Sainsburys within a few days after complaining about some kitchen roll. I was very impressed with them. And £15 from M&S after a candle I bought there exploded. Still got burn marks on my table though.

    i complained to Tescos regarding them selling me a out of date milkshake (by nearly a week) The customer service woman in store had an appaling attitude , and more or less told me i was a liar.

    3 days later i receieved a phone call , from the woman i had complained about. i immediatly complained again to head office that they shouldnt of allowed her to ring me , knowing it was her i had complained about.

    2 days later , by recorded delivery , £100 gift card , followed by a HUGE bunch of flowers! Result!

    Also , i complained to pringles about how hard it was to get the lid of a jar of Dip.

    2 weeks later a letter apologising , with £10 of vouchers :D
    James thinks worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere

    If i help you...Please thank me! :beer:

    I recently complained to Gillette re Right Guard deoderant that would not spray properly straight away and then jammed.. Rang freephone number on can (you must have a can as they need the number on the bottom...of the can that is!) said it had happened before but had never thought to claim. Incredibly helpful and friendly lady said she would send me some vouchers....sent me £10 in Gillette vouchers.

    Use them when they have a BOGOFF offer and whoopee heavenly armpits for ages. :j

    I wrote to Eaglemoss to complain about how my subscription to Lord of the Rings Chess had been hadled, in various ways, I got a letter of apology, a promise that they would sort out the various problems I identified, and a free special edition (I was angling for free boxes for the pieces!)

    On another note, I wrote to Tesco's reference some out of date pre-packed casserole veg, and have just had a letter back from them saying that "due to increased contact our response may take a little longer than usual"!!!!!!! Is that down to you lot??????????:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
