Check your receipt

Advantages: Bright, lots of choice
Disadvantages: Unfriendly staff, overcharging

...receipt and get any refund I am due., The point is I shouldn't have to check, I should be able to trust the retailer to charge me the correct amount. I know lots of people don't check their receipts so never spot this overcharging. This money is going straight into the pockets of the supermarket when it should be in your own pocket. As it happens so often I am beginning to wonder if it is a deliberate ploy to enhance profits. I have written to Sainsbury's on several occassions and have received letters of apology and vouchers, but they do not seem to be adressing the problem. I don't want to have to complain. I just want my bill to be correct. Be careful, always check your till receipt!...

Review of Sainsburys (Shop)

Cheap designer labels, but keep the receipt

Advantages: Great shoes at attractive prices
Disadvantages: I wonder if some of the stock are slight seconds

...'s visit I was in and out of the shop in 10 mins walked in to buy 1 pair and walked out with 3 pairs paying £61.00 in total. Can't complain at the price. I will be keeping the receipt somewhere very safe though as the first time I purchased hush puppies school shoes for my daughter there at £14.00 the sole came apart at the toe in less than 3 weeks, I really wasn't impressed especially as I couldn't find the receipt. I couldn't return them and then had to go to Clark's to buy a new pair of school shoes at £32.00. A colleague of mine said she had also had the same problem with some shoes she had purchased there. I also purchased a pair of flip flops back in the summer which I have not had any problems with at all. I made my purchase today with an open my mind and hope that the shoes purchased today will last a suitable amount of time...

Review of Brantano

is it a gift , then hand me the receipt -

Advantages: Fine for buying for yourself
Disadvantages: you can return gifts bought for you

...I am sad that I have to write my first negative review, but do want to warn people about the Woolworths exchange policy, which they are now implementing to the letter. The policy is fine if you are buying for yourself, but if you are purchasing for other people please remember to hand out the receipt at the same time as the gift. Please do not bother about sending the store feedback as they ignore any helpful comments and think that rudeness is acceptable. I would love to know via your comments if you think I have been reasonable here and if the review is of use. Sorry about the length but for accuracy I wanted to include the actual emails. I believe that it is always best to give your feedback positive or negative directly to the organisation and then they have a chance to respond and some times you can get things fixed. Cafe...

Review of Woolworths (Shop)

An Alternative Baby?

Advantages: Cheaper than a full price album
Disadvantages: Nothing you can't get elsewhere.

...Released in between their first two studio albums the EP 'Keep your Receipt' features 5 tracks. 1. Alternative Baby (Taken from Turn the Radio Off) 2. Why do all Girls think they're fat? (Featured on their self released Album: Everything Sucks) 3. I'm Cool (An Early version of the song that featured on Why do the Rock so Hard?) 4. S.R. (Taken from Turn the Radio Off) 5. Unity (A Cover of the Operation Ivy original) This E.P. from start to finish is classic Reel Big Fish. From the horn fuelled rocker 'Alternative Baby' to the steady Reggae beats of S.R. and the street beats and angry shouts of Unity it's what we've come to know and love from the California based Ska group. The only problem with this E.P is that other than to complete the set there is no reason to own it. Four of the tracks can be found on other (better...

Review of Keep Your Receipt EP - Reel Big Fish

Always check your receipt

Advantages: Good customer service & Price.
Disadvantages: Web ordering looks abit flakey

...the products. Now thats the introduction now onto the ordering part: Upon selecting the flowers that I wanted I pressed the "add to order" button. This led me onto my order screen, where I noticed it had actually placed an order for two bouquets of flowers. I changed this and applied. The price rectified itself. You then have to pass through 4 screens to complete your order (i.e. address, message credit card details etc) Once completing all this I pressed the confirm button and was given an order confirmation sheet WITH SOMEONE ELSES ADDRESS & MESSAGE. This was also confirmed in my Email reciept. As it was late I sent an email informing them of the problem. The following night I checked my Email. No response. This time I forwarded the receipt with a note attached saying that if I hadn't heard from them in 24hrs I would contact the Credit...

Keep The Receipt - Lose Your Hair.

Advantages: Does The Job - For A Few Weeks.
Disadvantages: Stops Working.

...I may be biased in my review, but I have had poor experience with Remington's hair trimming products. I should have learned my lesson from a previous Remington made hair trimmer I bought. Being a little naive, I thought I would go for one of the most expensive available thinking that it would be a quality product and so do the job, as well as last a long time. It did do the job for a few weeks but then for no explainable reason, while trimming my hair, something clicked, and suddenly it became as blunt as a rusty knife, it wouldn't even cut a single strand of hair, being the fool that I am I had failed to keep the receipt, so decided to dismantle the product and put it back together to see if there was just a little glintch, but this unfortunately had no effect. The trimmer was dead, well, not quite dead but certainly of no use...

Review of Gift, The

Terrible Customer Service

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Customer Service non existent

...Ebay has the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I listed a region 1 dvd for sale and it was taken off the site with 4 bids, they also suspended my account. I was informed that the dvd was a counterfeit by a vero member. The dvd was 100% original and was purchased from Amazon US, it even had orginal photos in the listing. It was a Married With Children DVD. I even had the receipt and told ebay this. I offered to send them the receipt and informed them there were at least another 5 sellers selling exactly the same dvd. They always replied with the same automated reply, with pointless links to their help pages. I reported the other sellers but ebay turned a blind eye, as they were powersellers and I suspect ebay did not suspend them because they want their fees. Totally disgusted with Ebay which is clearly...

Xbox 360 - the ultimate gaming machine

Advantages: Incredible gaming experience, interactive user system
Disadvantages: Er... none?

...'s arrived already. I'm delighted with it. Added notes: We paid £299.00 for the basic console just before Christmas 2005 on Ebay, with 3 games. We purchased the hard drive, wireless adaptor and 2 wireless controllers separately. In July 2006, the console crashed with a hard drive failure and despite not having a receipt for the item, Microsoft sent a courier for the console and shipped us a replacement within 10 days. What an incredible level of customer service....
