Gordon EF Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 38 minutes ago, Cardinal Richelieu said: Thankfully Spark have gone tits up, and not before time. Shocking company. Some years ago, they bumped my direct debit up from around £40 per month to £170 per month, then had the cheek to bombard me with calls / letters when I had the temerity to cancel the DD. Over the last 20 years or so, I've had a major falling out with every major mobile network provider, to the point I've gone full circle and gone back to O2 whom I told to f**k off a good 15 years ago (can't even remember why). Most energy providers, in my experience anyway, are a total shambles. Scottish Power are terrible. Moved into a flat with broken meters. Their first gambit was "no problem, we'll just charge you estimates"... will you f**k. "OK, we'll replace your meters with one meter that means you'll pay a lot more for electricity"... you can f**k off with that as well. If you just brass neck it out and refuse to pay unless they replace the meter like for like, eventually they just give up and I didn't pay them a single penny. Idiots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 13 hours ago, Mr X said: Isn't it all sold by 3rd party sellers? From Wikipedia "AliExpress has drawn comparison to eBay, as sellers are independent and use the platform to offer products to buyers" These 3rd party Sellers see you coming you know.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I've had no trouble getting fast refunds from Amazon or Paypal when there's been an issue. Paypal are thieves when it comes to exchange rates though, never use them if you're buying something in a foreign currency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Lviv Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) 15 hours ago, Michael W said: There are only a couple I avoid through crap experiences: Vodafone - terrible experience trying to cancel a contract within the cooling off period as they tried to charge me. Took many phone calls to resolve the matter as I was passed through several incompetent operators. Ryanair - the epitome of shite and all their staff are miserable (probably because they are treated badly). You feel that you're inconveniencing them by travelling with them. Stansted Airport can f**k off as well, bin of a place. I’ll agree with Vodafone. My ex girlfriend bought me a phone with the contract In her name. We broke up before it finished and I went in store to get it transferred to my details so I would pay for it and not her. The guy basically accused me of stealing the phone off a random person as she refused to speak to me to verify she did take the contract out intended for me to use. She ended up with the bill in the end and I’ve no idea if she paid it or not. Edited September 4, 2020 by Karpaty Lviv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacks is decent for camping and hillwalking gear, however, FootAsylum is strictly aimed at the sort of fuds who wear grey jogging bottoms with black trainers, ie neds, junkies and Arbroath supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
