@TiffanyAndCo worst customer service ever - waiting over a week for a next day delivery after paying a premium for delivery - no apologies, poor communication, and generally shocking service

[Geoff Higginbottom @the_cloudguru]

@Victorianplumb for the love of god will please let me talk to a human being about the delivery fiasco we have ongoing - chat messaging is not the answer when a whole build is being delayed because you cannot deliver

Beware getting a lease car from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts @car_lease as they refuse to supply an electronic of the V5C so you cannot register qualifying vehicles for London Congestion Charge Exemption

Looks like @curryspcworld are gearing up for more fake sales prices. The price for a Samsung fridge has jumped £400 so they can ‘reduce’ it in the next fake sale

Been sat on a plan for 3 hours on the tarmac at Heathrow. Suspect the shortbread I packed for the team meeting may not make it to Boston... #britishairways #delayed

[Geoff Higginbottom @the_cloudguru]

Stuck on a #britishairways flight on the tarmac for at least the next two hours, no food or hot drinks being offered just a tiny glass of water - shame on you BA
