Another crap photo printing company: Foto.com, a breach of security and crap service

Foto.com-User-account-Activation-link-—-Inbox.jpg

Tweet Ok, so I tried out another company called Foto.com (I am actually giving up and going with Asda in a moment, at least they are half decent). Foto.com tell you that if you sign up you get 100 free prints! Hurrah! So I go through the whole uploading process again and get to checkout. What a surprise! They aren’t applying the 100 free prints after all but I can have 20 free prints with every order. So I go {Read More}

Not on a day when I haven’t had carbs: Pixum Photo Printing Services are Shiteous

Shopping-basket-Address-payment-Pixum-Photoservice.jpg

Tweet Sorry but I have to get this rant out as I haven’t had a carb all day and am about to strangle someone….or something. This doesn’t help. I was looking for somewhere to print my holiday snaps (old people, like my Nan, you know, they like “real photos”) so came across Pixum – one of the first photo printing companies to appear on Google. Everything looked good, I uploaded my photos (took about an hour, but that’s fine) and {Read More}

Screw You!: Skin Deep Beauty Salon, Manchester and bad, bad customer service

Mystic-Cat.jpg

Tweet It’s been a while since I’ve done a Screw You! post… Well, here it is. This one is dedicated to Skin Deep, a beauty salon based in Didsbury, Manchester. I got the £2 for £20 worth of treatments for Skin Deep, via Wahanda on the 19th July. So for a week after the voucher arrived in my mailbox, I tried calling the salon a few times. The first few times the line just rang and rang – the second {Read More}

You roast the chicken, not yourself: Calypso Deep Tan Original Carrot Oil

Calypso-Tanning-Oils-Deep-Tan.jpg

Tweet I was searching eBay for some SPF protection for my hair and scalp, when I spotted this Calypso Deep Tan Original Carrot Oil with SPF….0. Man, do they still make this stuff? I remember when the girls at school used to cover themselves in vegetable oil and burn themselves in the “front” garden, over a sunny weekend in the pursuit of a tan. They’d turn up at school nice and toasty the for the next week, sore, pink and {Read More}

Bad Customer Service: Pak Cosmetics and the case of the solid face mask

Queen-Helene-egg-yolk-masque.jpg

Tweet A week or two ago, I purchased a number of items from Pak Cosmetics online, which sells all kinds of Afro Hair Care/Extension/Weave/Make Up products (they just sell a ton of stuff basically). I was all excited and rather impressed to begin with…everything seemed great, they even called me up on a Sunday to tell me something was out of stock and to pick an alternative. Then the order arrived. A few old looking jars of hair conditioner and {Read More}

Screw You!: Don’t use Fastway Couriers, they’re really really crap

Tweet Let me get this out before I have my dinner or I’ll have indigestion. So after loads and loads of trouble, I managed to find a business card company would would print some cards for me on the day and ship them out within 24 hours. I had to do a lot of research, make a lot of calls because not many companies will print that quickly for you. Basically I have an event on this week I need {Read More}

Not a Review, more of a lament: My Clarisonic Face Brush Stopped Working *updated*

clarisonic-broke.jpg

Tweet Update: 12/06/10 Was on the phone about 3 times to Clarisonic. Was supposed to be called back but had to chase them up and eventually Clarisonic said they’d send me a new UK charger to try. The charger came from the US, it only took about 4 days. Tried it out…and yes, it works! So it was the charger that broke, d’oh. Kudos to the Clarisonic customer service who sent out a new charger quickly and without much hassle, {Read More}

Unrelated to Beauty rant: Dodgy, much? Intomobilephones.co.uk review

funny-pictures-cat-ignores-your-phone-call.jpg-JPEG-Image-500x375-pixels.jpg

Tweet Didn’t want to rant about random customer service experiences on here, but hey, I want to prevent anyone else from falling foul of using this god awful website called Intomobilephone.co.uk Stupid me – I though I had found a great deal for my mama and placed an order 11 days ago. Entered all her card details (she was sat next to me, oh internet police!) even though she was tentative about sharing card details (I will never ever ever {Read More}
