It's certainly cheaper.

Those Frosties were $11.99 in Kaikoura.

Being unable to speak to a human at the ANZ about the text "scam" received as per below.... (Or know where to correctly post this email on GZ!)

 

So YES it does meet the criteria of something that is annoying me!

 

(I have a "Deskphone Cellphone as part of my disaster kit on 2Degrees. Number has never been handed out!)

 

 

 

 

Not listed on the ANZ Scam Page!

Wow, I didn't know 2G cellphone service was still enabled in NZ.

 

 

More seriously, most big orgs should have a security@ email address that you can contact that'll get to the right people.

No security.txt file on ANZ's site though!

Yeah, and their arbitrarily-chosen reporting address quoted by Bung isn't terribly useful either, there's no way you could figure that one out without a lot of poking around. msukiwi would never be able to find it using his Motorola Timeport for example.

Yeah vodafone still have it. I moved my cheap GPS trackers to them after 2degrees pulled the plug, and then promptly forgot to set up reminders to top them up (or my 2 factor phone as that had to move too) and they all lapsed. Oops.

That Trademe have done yet another UI refresh, making it even more painful and annoying to do something as simple as deleting an expired watchlist item, which now requires multiple clicks with a completely hidden first step to do what used to be a single click from the item list. Some of the others are even worse.

Shipping notifications from companies that tell you absolutely nothing about the shipment, making it impossible to identify which order it is that's been fulfilled:

 

 

"Hi there, we've shipped your thing, here's a tracking number!".

 

"Just to let you know that your order has been shipped".

 

"Your item has been picked up by the courier and is on its way".

 

 

How hard can it be to tell you what it is that you've just shipped to me? You can tell me my address and a tracking number, but you can't tell me what it is that you're actually shipping?

I see you've been ordering from Amazon. You'd think a company of that size could get it right...

Courier tracking that... Isn't.

"Item picked up. In transit." With zero further updates until after delivery is not tracking.

You should see Australia Post. From what I can tell, "it's on its way" is the only possible tracking status. This is the same Auspost that took eight days to get a small package from Adelaide to Melbourne. Of course, we returned to NZ on day seven...

Learning that supermarkets would again be slapped hard with a chicken feather after the long anticipated Commerce Commission report.

I mean, Wow...they recommend a code of conduct. The chains will be running scared.

Zip, naada there for the consumer facing an $8 cauliflower.

^^ I agree with you but the $8 cauli is nothing to do with supermarkets' pricing and competition etc - it's reflection of seasonal supply and demand.

 

The supermarket investigation is very similar to the petrol investigation a couple of years ago - that achieved nothing and this will achieve nothing.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
