Silver tray with card on top reading 'thank you'

I like a good moan as much as the next person, but one of my favourite things about Which? Conversation is that it gives us the chance to show examples of companies who get things right. (more about celebrating good service...)

Red leather sofa and a green rug

How long is too long when it comes to delayed deliveries? A day? A week? How about almost two months? That’s how long I had to wait for a sofa delivery from Next. (more about sofa deliveries...)

A pile of pound coins

Last year, I bought tickets for a boat trip to the Olympic Park. But before the trip happened, the company went into administration. I tried to use ‘chargeback’ to get a refund, but what does it actually mean? (more about the chargeback scheme...)

Watch with battery showing

How much should you pay to get your watch battery changed? A couple of quid? Under a tenner? How about £25? That’s the sum I was charged recently as I reluctantly handed over my watch. (complain for change...)

Glass of water on table

One simple word can make a very powerful statement. And I’ve found the word ‘complain’ stirs up more controversy than you might expect. Do you regularly hold back from complaining because it makes you feel awkward? (complain for change...)

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...)

A couple of weeks back the UK Power Network wrote to tell me that the power in our area would be cut off for essential work. The works didn’t happen on the planned day, but I was caught out two days later. (more about power outage 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...)

Empty purse

Over the years millions of people have claimed back mis-sold PPI. Our new research suggests the money banks have allocated for compensation is set to run out. We need banks to confirm more's on the way. (complain for change...)
