Oh, and a certain company with the daftest accounting system in the universe, and whose accounts departments have so far ignored FOUR emails asking for an up-to-date statement of account.

My rant - bladdy sore throat.

[Glutton4...]

Day off!? Whassat!?

You may remember my rant about Argos and their telephone robots.

Well today despite the much advertised next day delivery service the article I ordered on 9th Nov arrived.

Only one slight problem the hob was advertised as 60cm long x 52cm deep, just cover the hole in the work surface nicely. Unwrap it to check and its actual size is 58cm x 51cm it will drop through the bladdy hole.

I hope someone from Argos reads this because never ever again will I trade with &&()%$ Argos.

Shop agrees to stock my product, on a 'sale or return' basis.
Feedback after a week is that customers love the product, but they're too expensive.
I visit today and discover they are advertised at DOUBLE what I asked.

Yes, I expect you to add a few quid, I know how retail works, but don't take the ruddy pee!

I'm fuming!

Dear Mr Sainsbury - hello, it is me again. Do you recall when I phoned up customer services to enquire about the availability of Domino-sanctioned own-brand ultra-clumping cat litter, and you checked the delivery to the two stores which are convenient to me? Do you? Do you also recall that you told me that there would be a delivery to both stores on Tuesday, and the product would be on the shops on Thursday?

So I wonder why it was when I went to the store today, there was none on the shelf, none in the back store and none had been delivered within the last week.

On the plus side, the customer service is on a freephone number, calls are answered immediately, and the operative is pleasant and helpful - however you lose all your points when the customer discovers that the information given out turns out to be a load of old horseknees.

Been housebound since Monday, due to 'failure of left leg', due to arthritis, awaiting consultant appointment, so high on painkillers and feeling sorry for myself.

Fed up at this 'aging process '!

Shops 'within shops' that can't take back the goods you've bought because their 'tills aren't compatable', well they SHOULD be ! What is the point!, I can't get back to 'original shop'! Not helpful at all!
