Make sure it is off, clear your history and cache, it only plays up for me (and other complaining online) when the adblocker is running

Two hours each way to look at a bike today, apparently like new and perfect. Shame he failed to mention the dent in the frame.

Bloody Mr Squirrel, nicked the nuts off the traps, left the peanut butter, and then dug up the insulation and buried the traps :angry-cussingblack:

At least you didn't find the dent after you'd parted with money.

Instagram is BMP. The wife has recently discovered decorating pages on there and follows a few of these designers/decorators. Bad enough i had to decorate but now i have to make up faux panelling and suchlike. Mandem wants to loaf innit...

The post office, again.

Been waiting for 2 weeks now for next day delivery from an address in Brixton.

£160 parcel signed and tracked.

Tracking has not worked at all saying they have not tried to deliver yet, looked at tracking today and it now lets me in but says it was delivered to a address in Falmouth 176 miles away and signed by Louise on the 4th Jan!

WTF - 176 miles away from my address. This has to be the biggest fail yet by the Royal Fail.

I am being told by Royal Fail over the phone that all i can claim back is the postage. Does anyone have any advise on getting the parcel back or getting a full refund before i put all of royal mail's windows through!

This has to be the 3'rd time this has happened and am probably near on £600 out of pocket now and i am not just going to sit back and take the hit anymore!

You need to make an ITV drama about it. That'll get something done.

3 times and it's average £200? Are these things all from the same place or random? RM aren't usually that bad...I'd be wondering if I was getting scammed tbh. (Definitely if they're all 3 ordered and paid for up front to the same outfit...but they'd have to be pretty brazen to pull the same stunt regularly on the same punter).

:hmmm:

PS I'd have thought it's the job of the supplier to insure/claim/refund you or send again.

I would have thought the sender makes and gets the comp claim and if you want full tracking cough up and pay special delivery.

I have other people that use the same person and don't really have any issues! But you've put the idea in my head now!

I've done loads of orders from them before with no issues. It's DJ equipment i look forward to then it just goes somewhere else. I have no idea what Louise will do with 2 new Ortofon Styluses unless she just so happens to be a DJ!

I have a mate that has kindly offered to go get it from the address as his parents live in Falmouth but Royal Mail can't even give me that info!

I am going down to RM thurs to see what happens in person. Fingers crossed something positive.
