What cheeses me off

Spartan 15 by Michael Fidler. Absolutely beautiful piece of kit. Black front, silver body. Lovely improvement to the sound stage compared to the Cambridge Audio one I had, and some instruments I didn't hear before are now coming through with beautiful separation. Love it.

It puts the stuff Graham Slee makes to shame, which are 2-3x more. Measures/tests better, too.

I put on a few LPs the other day and Mrs FB said "this sounds.... better? Have you changed something?". I just chuckled and pointed 🤭
 
Dodo charged $25 in June when I asked to cancel a service. Spoke with customer care who confirmed service cancelled and will not charge anything.

Saw $25 charged the same day.

Complained and back and forth a few times and early July mentioned they will refund as a gesture of good will. LoL.

Fast forward to December and no refund. Replied to last email mentioning that I am taking matter to Ombudsman. They've replied back saying they are confused why I've not been refunded.

See what happens this time.

Just lodge a TIO complaint, only takes 5 mins... if you get refunded before it gets looked at great, if you are still not refunded, the TIO/dodo complaints team will do it...

Plus the TIO charges Dodo a fee :)
 
WCMO Price Attack.

Public service announcement: Do not order from Price Attack they are dodgy.

OPI has discontinued my favouirte shade of polish so I thought I ought to buy a spare bottle before it is unavailable altogether. Price Attack had a good discounted price and also another item i needed so I placed an order.

They email me this morning to say the other items isn't available (so false advertising stock they don't have), then a second email just now saying its illegal to deliver dangerous goods to PO Box so would I provide another address.

I just told them to cancel and refund the who order.

The cant deliver to a PO Box because nail polish is flammable is utter bs, I ordered nail polish from two other sites in the last fortnight and product were delivered to my PO Box without any issues. I suspect real reason is they dont want to use AusPost for delivery so invent this bs excuse.

Off to order form someone else.

WCMO is companies that send you your year in review stats well before the end of the year.

For example Spotify and Qantas.

Qantas sent annual summary today, yet there are still another 12 travelling days before 2025 and I will be flying again in that period, still have credit card points to drop etc. Would be better to send these out on 1st Jan when actual year end is known.
