A Warning

GG, I'm sure you are very aware of who I am, no need to dramatise by saying you had forgotten.

What makes you think that Jingl

I had Wobbly. I know you may feel you are impossible to forget but it was only when I saw you referring to your wife on the stair lift thread that I remembered and this nonsense all made sense.

As I said GG I do not intend to argue with you.

So I agree with everything you have said, you are right and I do talk a load of nonsense.

Thanks Wobbly.

Yea gods! Some people

I hate it when people argue on here

Jalima!

So do I.

llrina, I use a company called Hive, www.hive.co.uk to buy books.
If you spend more than £10 it's postfree, and usually comes within two days. I've never had to wait for a week yet (crossing fingers on my left hand as I ordered from them today).
Their prices are reasonable, often cheaper than Amazon, and they give a percentage to your local bookshop.

Ana what a porky pie!

That's interesting.

I have ordered things from Amazon recently (not books, although DH ordered some, not expensive and delivered promptly); ordered online at about 9pm one evening and they were delivered at about 12 noon the next day. One parcel ordered on Saturday night came at lunch-time on the Sunday. That wasn't Prime either (don't use it).

I buy quite a few secondhand books on Amazon, from a variety of companies, I look at their feedback rating and choose the highest for the book I want. so far I've been lucky. Amazon seems cheaper than eBay most of the time.

Anya you had to carry on didn't you. So, are you still saying that you "hate" people putting their positive experience of dealing with a company when someone else has published a very negative one. If you are I still think trying to close down discussion is not what forums are about and is rather bullying - but that is no surprise is it.

I am not going to change my point of view on freedom of speech just to appease you so this is my last post on the subject.

Jbf I am happy to reply if you give me some idea what made you think that.

Flipping heck, a storm in a

Anya, sorry I spoke...

A lot of stuff on Amazon is sold by others, under the Amazon umbrella. Amazon set standards, but it is up to the sellers to fulfill their orders, and so on. There are bad eggs in all baskets, and also sellers who are normally OK can have an off day - but they should be doing all they can to put things right.

Perhaps a refund wasn't exactly the technical term to use for something that hadn't arrived. Their returns department are probably geared to issuing a refund on returned goods once they have received them back, not on non-delivered items. They will have to show the paperwork to justify paying out money - or they might be suspected of fiddling the books.

Gracesnan don't you have anything better to do on GN that follow me around trying to make a point of something completely pointless?

Listen to those older and wiser posters who have tried to explain this to you and then go and sit down with a nice and try not to stress.

Good heavens all I did was post about poor service so that others could be aware of it. Big arguments follow, also lots of advice about how to buy on Amazon or Ebay. I buy frequently using both and 99percent of the time it is just fine and dandy. reading the posts again it seems to me that some of the posters on here have issues with each other that seem to go a long way back. I don't understand all this nit picking and bitchyness. Treat a forum as in real life, if people irritate or annoy you then keep away from them. I have a feeling though that some of the more " bullying" posts on here are just that, posted by people who would not stand up for themselves in everyday life, but hiding behind their screens is another matter!

It is not in my opinion - though it obviously is in yours Anya - pointless to comment on someone trying to close down the comments of others. Your replies may be seen as pointless to some of course as you never actually addressed my original comment.

Yes, I do have other (better? - I am not so unkind to think GNetters are worth less than others) things to do and I am just off, as I was yesterday, to my 96 year old mothers. As she has Alzheimer's she takes up quite a bit of my time. I do not say this for sympathy but merely to answer your question. Age, sadly does not necessarily bring wisdom - I can see at least one obvious example of that on a daily basis.

I am not stressed but I do not enjoy watching an attempt to try to limit the comments of others posters. That is almost certainly my problem rather than yours; after all, you could just ignore my posts. Maybe you are just one of those people who generally use exaggerated language - I have no idea. I can only go by how it reads.

Thank you for your concerns but with a lovely family and friends around I find life just needs a small input from GN to give me a different angle on the world - and it does. Perhaps I am just a faster typist than you as the few posts on here really don't take much of my time.

Ana so sorry if that upset you. I didn't mean to.

Irina thank you for flagging it up. When I have such a choice of places to buy online these days it's always useful to have information like this.

Wobbly good advice, thank you x

Gracegran, I do agree with you about not shutting down other posters when they have a different point of view. Indeed almost every thread I read has a different point of view and nobody tries to close down the comments of others normally.

However, if I complained about service received from a company on a forum and someone overode that with their good experience, it would give me the rage! The point would be that the bad experience needed to be highlighted, and a resolution worked towards, as it was here.

Good point Pollengran

It's almost as though the 'good experience' poster is somehow either doubting your word, or can't believe you haven't done something wrong to have had such a bad outcome.

Human nature!

Well I thought gg had shares in Wordery. Or something.
