Delivery being put in bin

Parcels left on doorsteps in the rain, dumped in recycle bins and even thrown over fences are among the delivery problems that people have told us about. Are you clued up on your delivery rights? (complain for change...)

Store closing down

As another big retailer – this time Comet - goes into administration, many gift voucher holders could be out-of-pocket. Is it time we turned our backs on gift vouchers and gift cards? (more about voucher rights...)

Angry woman on phone

If companies want to show their customers how much they value them, responding well to complaints is essential. So, I wasn’t very happy with the response O2 gave me after I was hit by its network outage. (more about O2...)

Online shopping icons with complain for change logo

Did you know that online retailers have to let you cancel your order if you change your mind? You only have up to seven working days to do so after receiving it, but it appears not all retailers know the rules. (more cancelling online goods...)

For all you doubting Thomases out there, I thought I’d showcase some great examples of why complaining is really worth it – from free Olympic tickets to big bucks off your maintenance bill. (more about successful complaining...)

Clown

As much as I profess the benefits of complaining, it can be a truly baffling experience thanks to the impressively ridiculous things that sales assistants sometimes say. What have you been told? (complain for change...)

Train station at night

The story of how my parents suffered at the hands of a train company is testament to the fact that complaining can get you somewhere. Has a complaint you made resulted in a positive change? (complain for change...)

Cartoon builder

According to our recent survey, more than a quarter of Which? members who used a builder in the last year had problems. And when they got a tradesperson in to fix them, the average cost was a whopping £532. (more about builder disputes...)
