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…

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…
