I signed a contract with Formula Homes and paid a deposit for a home. In 10 months I received 2 sets of final drawings, both had the wrong facade and were sent back. I was then sent a variation for the correct facade with an extra cost of $6000. The customer service coordinater, Gary, said the salesman made a mistake and the facade I was sold is an extra $6000 and I was told to sign and send back the variation. I refused, as I had a signed contract for that facade and that price. Gary was extremely rude and uncooperative and every time he... read full review »

Our home was badly damaged in the severe hailstorm on March 6th 2010. 11weeks have gone by and RACV continue to send assessors around (4 to this time) but refuse to provide us with any information.It appears they do not want to accept any quotes provided. Our roof leaks severely every time it rains- effecting our electricals and plaster, getting worse all the time. Every time we make contact with RACV we are given an assurance the person responsible for dealing with our claim will return our call. This has not happened- not 1 call in 11 weeks. read full review »

Ordered the Pro Cleanse Gold and it arrived in 3 days! Only then did my husband and I realise that we'd been debited $6.95 on the first day, then $126.00 one week later and now 2 weeks later again another $126.00 This is ridiculous. The fine print defaults you to a contract that I DID NOT AGREE TO! I sent an email saying I didn't want the product anymore and it bounced back so they have no record of it even though I do. Now they're saying I agreed to the contract and not just the 14 day trial. DO NOT ORDER THIS... read full review »

Why is it so hard for Melbourne Television stations to run ontime! If they advertise a show starts at 7:00pm then it should start at 7:00pm not 7:10p or 7:20p. It's not hard, other countries can do it. It is very frustrating to set up my recording device to tape a series and to get the last 15 min of a show I don't want and I don't get the ending of the show I WANT TO WATCH! read full review »

Don't buy these thinking they will taste like Wonka Nerds. The packaging is almost an exact copy of the Nerds packaging and I bought these without really looking at them, thinking they were nerds. You'd think as a rip-off of another product they'd at least taste similar (they certainly look similar) but they DON'T. They taste horrible. Wonka should sue this company or something. read full review »

In 2006 i was approached by a representative from Paul Roberts Modelling Agency, i was given his business card and went through an interview with him. Paul is a great conman, he promised modelling opportunities and raved about his models and the work that they got. He charged my parents $2000 for 'professional photography' and a portfolio and to attend his 'catwalk classes'. My first photoshoot, now that i think back was a complete joke. He was the camera man and makeup artist and my parents had to drive us to the location... read full review »

Hi, I have sent a parcel to Hyderabad, India posted on 29th of March, 2010. The parcel reached India Customs (Mumbai) on 2nd of April, 2010. Since then, it has been held up by the Mumbai Customs Authorities. Further, officially they have to notify the addressee in India regarding the parcel, which they did not till date. The parcelcontains children books, toys, clothes, dvds which I have sent to my 5year old son. This is disgusting that the authorities are so irresponsible in a responsible job. This is just not a complaint, but... read full review »
