Tesco Direct Next Day Delivery takes a minimum of 4 days!

Advantages: Products appear to be a fair price
Disadvantages: Money is taken instantly. Next day delivery does not happen

...I have suggested these to Tesco and HDNL. 1. When they logged it received in the wrong depot they could have delivered it from there - either by themselves or a reputable currier. 2. They could have phoned me when the error was spotted (1435 Monday), apologised and made compensation as well as offered a timed delivery when they would give me my goods. 3. They should not have told me I would get it today. 4. HDNL should not offer next day delivery ...
...their rigid procedures. 6. Tesco should have sent another parcel to me by an alternative carrier in a 2 hour slot. 7. Surely under trades description act they should not sell next day delivery that takes 4 days or more But unsurprisingly none of these are possible as they are not "policy". I remarked that it's not my policy to forego 3 days wages at £180 per day to wait in for parcels that thus far have not arrived. I am not satisfied that I will ...

Review of Tesco Direct

studio catalogue !! BEWARE !!! faulty candy fridge scam!!!

Advantages: learnt never to buy from studio again
Disadvantages: out of pocket! for nothing

...for something that doesn't work, Studio don't seem to care they have no record of anything other than a bill for £185.99 which has to be paid within 3 weeks otherwise the will add apr and other charges if not paid on time. I deeply regret ever shopping with studio, they are rude and dont have any integrity what so ever ! Im not got to ring them anymore because all im doing is running my phone phone bill up calling 0870 6022332 for a waste of time. ...

Review of Studio Catalogue

Worse than dreadful

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Scam fines (£24) for missed payment, constant calls 6,7 x a day(even if payment isnt due)

I joined Littlewoods and bought a punchbag which since it was my first order was £30 off so it only cost me just over £50. Great? It was the beginning of a living nightmare. I missed one payment and got a letter for late payment. £12. A few days later constant phone calls. Another £12. So I agreed to pay two payments of £31. I paid this and then another letter. "We would like to discuss the recent activity on your account. unfortunately we dont have ...
...charge of £12 has now been added to your account." Theyd just been ringing me on it!! Then they started bombarding me with phone calls on the number they said they never had five, six times a day even Sunday. My payment wasnt even due till the 7 Nov which was 1-2 weeks away. If I could give 0 stars I would have. I may have to seek legal advice as this is way worse than sickening. ...

Review of Littlewoods

Bravissimo : fantastic

Advantages: Wide choice, great site
Disadvantages: Sometimes the bras are expensive

...I saw an advert for Bravissimo in a national newspaper. I can clearly remember the first order that I purchased was for a cup sized swimsuit. I went swimming with confidence for the first time in ages and from then on I started ordering some fantastic bras, swimsuits and then clothes when they started their new range. I love that they have such a fantastic range of clothes for women with big boobs, I always struggle to find clothes to fit and Bravissimo ...
...and has the bras divided up into sensational sets, everyday essentials, dressing up solutions, seam free, strapless, sports bras, bodies and basques, soft cup, nursing and lingerie sale. Then there are sections for swimwear, clothing and nightwear. I really can't say how much I love Bravissimo, it is amazing. Yes the bras are quite expensive, but sometimes you can pick up a bargain in the sale and I have no problems buying bras from a retailer that ...

Review of Bravissimo

  Retail heaven!!

Advantages: Historic location and plenty to do.
Disadvantages: Some stores have false sales!

...time this week to visit Gunwharf Quays for the first time this year and I have to say how much it had changed since my last visit in September. The whole place seems to have been considerably expanded and for my money is now a lot better and offers a greater range. For those who have yet to visit this amazing place, please allow me to explain further. The site that is now known as Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth used to be a Naval Base called HMS Vernon ...
...to their listed status. Gunwharf Quays opened in March 2001 and consisted mainly of shops and restaurants and although the mix of shops include well known names such as Next, HMV, Zavvi and the obligatory Starbucks. The main difference between Gunwharf and say somewhere like Bluewater is the fact that the shops here are mainly retail clearance stores selling end of lines stock. Additionally this means that there are a number of other shops, such ...
