@AskeBay I doubt there's all that much you guys can do. Though I'd love to see eBay recommend a different parcel service because RM is just not fit for purpose anymore. It's supposed to be 48hr tracked. They know they can't meet it so they make up excuses.

[Steve Brown @stevna]

. @RoyalMail Is there any particular reason that the last 3 @eBay_UK parcels I've been sent, from 3 different sellers have ALL ended up 'accidentally' being sent to the wrong DO leading to a WEEK delay in delivery? I'm sick of RM parcels...

[Steve Brown @stevna]

Tried to give nice feedback to @LidlUK - the form blew up with a ReCaptcha failed. So I tried speaking to the digital assistant which assumed that I had a complaint and wouldn't listen when I said I was trying to give positive feedback!!

Clearly Lidl don't expect nice feedback!

@bookingcom I did contact the 24hr customer service team, after trying all other avenues. I was on hold for 25 minutes and the call handler picked up and immediately hung up on me... I then decided it wasn't worth it anymore so I've requested a refund (the property owner cancelled, not me)

[Steve Brown @stevna]

Well, it seems @bookingcom service is now seriously lacking. Accomodation I booked has cancelled, and I can't raise anyone in a sensible timeframe to organise what I'm meant to do now.

Overall an absolutely HORRIBLE experience and I won't use https://t.co/NicymJlYHQ any more.

. @Filmora_Editor WHY have you decided you can only filter effects, stickers etc by All or Commerical??!? You used to allow filtering by free. I paid for the software already, don't make it hard to find what I want when I'm using it.

[Steve Brown @stevna]

@ANZ_AU Just curious why your login screen says you can call anytime but in fact you get a voice message saying call back during office hours? Really annoying when you're overseas and locked out of your account!

[Steve Brown @stevna]

@Northpowergrid well these 1 minute “unplanned outages” are now beginning to get annoying. That’s the third within about a week. Why do I pay half my bill in standing charges for this unreliable nonsense?

[Steve Brown @stevna]

Didn't think it was possible, but enjoying #quantumleap more and more with every episode. A massive favourite from my childhood revamped today and they've done it proud. Plots and subplots everywhere, great writing and great acting. Love it.

[Steve Brown @stevna]

@ServicesGovAU This is where the problem lies. There’s no sensible way for overseas payers to get in touch. No secure email, no secure online form. Just ring you. CSA needs updated modern communication methods. cc: @RobMitchellMP

[Steve Brown @stevna]

. @ServicesGovAU You appear to have lost 2 of my most recent payments and are not engaging with me to find them... This is not the first time this has happened... Please respond, I don't want to go through this again. @RobMitchellMP

Shout out to Ryan @VisionExpress for his outstanding customer service this afternoon after I accidentally snapped my glasses frame in two this morning. He's put my original lenses into a new frame of the same style, in store there and then. #aboveandbeyond

[Steve Brown @stevna]

Should've gone to @JohnLewisRetail or @DellUK to get my tech - bought from @currys instead, price dropped by £200 12 days later but their "Price Promise" is for 7 days only. JL and Dell have a MONTH promise if they reduce prices, even CarphoneWarehouse have 14 days.

Some serious talent on #TheVoiceAU this year and it's still early yet.

[Steve Brown @stevna]

@virginmedia It's a shame I admit, but there's nothing special about April. If a business wants to raise prices after a year then make it a year contract. This whole price rise in April is pretty much a scam - especially as the price for new customers seems to remain largely untouched!

[Steve Brown @stevna]

Also @virginmedia - I don't know what rate of inflation you think the UK has right now, but my bill went from £18 to £24. That's 33% - which UK inflation is (allegedly) not... So yeah, no, not doing that anymore. Fixed price BB contracts still exist and I'll be using one of them.

[Steve Brown @stevna]

Just in case you're interested @virginmedia - my contract is now up, and I'll be off thanks. Mid contract price rises are not OK and I won't be entertaining your service now that you force these onto us. If you want to put the price up in April then the contract should end then..
