The new design for Unilevers range of deodorants is a crafty ripoff. They have not reduced the amount of product or raised the price. They have turned it upside down. As you use it air comes into the bottle to replace the deodorant coming out. Stored upside down the deodorant seals around the ball stopping any more air movement. As the temperature rises during the day the air expands forcing the deodorant to leak. Result- Less usable product for your money.

Car hire beware -Stay with mainstream car rentals and don't get caught out as we did while in ChCh.Small dealer next to camping ground failed to note exsisting damage on vehicle and 3 days after we had dropped it off at airport says it has been side swiped while on hire to us ! He has our credit card details and we now feel like 'sitting ducks'

Watch out for "mainstream" car rental companies too. Europcar Australia have just scammed me for $429 for an imaginary 35 mm crease. They won't check the car until after you leave at Adelaide Airport even when asked to. They sent a photo of the car taken 3 days later with no mark, and won't explain why the $274 cost on the incident report has become AUD$325.75 which is coincidentally just under the $330 excess for the cover I had. This is a scam on tourists.

Has anyone had any issues with a company called Drybuild? My mother and a vendor spent $3900 on a leaky home report from this company which indiacted that the property was leaky and had a significant amount of repairs required which Drybuild could arrage themselves but after a second opinion we found the repairs inicated were not required and the house has insignificant leaks. We have heard similar stories from other people about the same company in question.

Has anyone else had problems with NZsale.co.nz ? I have been waiting over a month for a refund and to date it has not happened, although they said it had. Now they are not responding to any emails and there seems to be no other way to contact them. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or knows how I can go about getting my refund.

My wife & I entered our son in a photo contest that was promoted as a charity event. We paid a $30 entry fee, of which $20 was donated to charity. A photographer was to donate their services to take the photos. However we felt the photographer was too pushy and tried to make us feel guilty for not purchasing a set. We also felt it was against the spirit of charity when, at the award ceremony, we were stopped from taking a photo of my wife and son in front of the photo display.
