  • Marks and Spencer online definately for their awful attitude to online customers and lack of stock control facilities.

    Shirt arrived today! Finally! OH loves it and is wearing it now.

    Chargrilled sent me a lovely email last night asking me to fill out their survey to say how I got in with their service :D

    Im a graphic designer myself, so did have a go at making the design myself. But just couldnt get it to look right, so decided to let them do it!

    Me too, I was really happy with all my online shopping this year, I have a problem with my Boots order tracking in Quidco but apart from that no worries.

    If anything I was amazed how quckly some stuff turned up.

    Dixons for me. Ordered a £630 cooker that isn't fit for use. Numerous complaints from a dent, to an oven with faulty thermostat, knobs missing etc. They don't want to know. Wouldn't touch them again.

    Nothing left!
  • I have "vented" elsewhere about this, but Waterstones.com were the biggest let down for me. And useless at customer service.

    Everyone else was very good.

    I have come to the conclusion that online orders either come very quickly, or not at all!
  • The Bradford group for me http://www.bradfords.co.uk/ (the company that advertises in the papers and magazines)

    I ordered a special gift for my grandparents and although delivery takes between 14-28 days mine took longer than the 28!!! :mad: and when it finally arrived it was a substitution :mad: as the original order was limited edition! they have never replied to my emails and I had to to give the substitution as their gift (which in all fairness they love, but that isnt the point!!!) as it arrived so close to christmas I didnt have time to get anything else!

    My original order was for a set of 3 thomas kinkade tree decorations, got a substitution of a set of 2 :confused: when there was a different set of 3 that would have made a better substitution!

    Needless to say I will never buy from them again!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
