The Milner Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you were anyone else id say avoid Yodel at all costs, but the evil part of me wants to see you deal with them when it all goes tits up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Does anyone own / have experience of Tesco's HUDL tablet? How does it compare with its comparable spec rivals, Nexus etc? I know one person who bought one for each of his kids and they've had various charging faults and as a result been returned and replaced several times.

Soda Jerk Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Moon Moon. Whenever I've posted guitars, or other big stuff, I've always gone with http://www.parcel2go.com, You put in where you're sending the item, and the weight/dimensions, and it gives you couriers and prices to pick from. You print out the label, slap it on the package, and they come and pick it up. Don't just go with the cheapest though. Read about what you're paying for, and make sure your item is covered for it's full value. Also make sure you package it well with good, solid boxes, and take a picture of it before you send it. If you need to claim for damages, they'll need proof of how it was packaged before it was collected. If you have no proof of how well you packaged it, and they end up running over it in their van, you'll struggle to make a claim.

I'm really wary of posting things and guitars is something I've never wanted to do before. This guitar is built like paper. I can play about with the wood around the f hole and it moves about. So lucky miss I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 What's the name of those free versions of Microsoft Office? Is there another one other than Open Office, as Open Office insists on installing a load of shitty memory-clogging malware at the same time.

You sure you weren't redirected to a dodgy download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) During the set up, it asked if I agreed to also install a number of different programs. All these pretend registry and virus scanners that immediately flag up thousands of threats. I clicked "decline" and it still did it anyway. So maybe it did punk with me with a dodgy download. I went with LibreOffice in the end. It seems okay, though very limited. I'll perhaps give OpenOffice another go, and see if the same happens again.

Soda Jerk Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 It seems that the sponsored Ad for OpenOffice on Google is different to the official site. The installer is different and includes some fishy software which tries to install itself. Why are Google promoting nasty spam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Some of those installers are bastards. It'll have "tick here to install these" then on the next screen it'll be "tick here to not install these" so you have to be sure and read everything.

Soda Jerk Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) It was a total bastard. As soon as it offered me the bundle of registry cleanup and defrag junk, I pressed "Decline", but it just started installing anyway. Then Avast! went wild and shut it down anyway. Went to the non-sponsored link on Google, and it seems fine. I thought I had a good eye for what was legit and what wasn't on the internet. There's so much non-legit stuff trying to con folk. Google have alot to answer for, because they're putting alot of this spam at the top of their searches.

MattJimF Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Google aren't putting spam at the top. The scammers are paying for the space at the top. General rule of thumb is the first the hits on Google are paid for adverts. Edited May 25, 2014 by MattJimF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
