Parcel delivery firms: who are the best and worst?

With the festive season nearly here, parcel delivery firms are zipping around the UK helping out the big man in the red suit. Yet sadly parcel delivery horror stories abound - ranging from no-shows to “they threw the goods over the fence” or “they lied that we weren't in”.

So it’s time for our annual poll to work out who are the good guys and who are the cowboys...

A question about : Real-life MMD: Should I try to boost my salary at a charity?

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I try to boost my salary at a charity?

I've been offered a job at a charity I really care about, but it turns out the starting wage is Ј5,000 less than my current wage. It also involves odd working hours and a longer, more expensive commute. They really want me, I want to take the job, but I don't know if I can take the financial hit. Is it unreasonable to haggle on my starting wage, even though the employer is a charity?

A question about : Scottish Power

i cannot express enough how bad the customer service department are at scottish power
I gave had an ongoing battle with them regarding monthly direct debit payments since may 2014 which is currently with the ombudsman
The customer service operatives show no interest in resolving problems you will consistently wait between 30 and 45 mins for calls to be answered and a call back although promised is rarely returned
My advise is not to use this energy supplier

A question about : Reallife MMD: Should I send wedding invites to family members who can't come?

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I send wedding invites to family members who can't come?

We're getting married this year, but haven't sent the invitations yet. A few of my relatives say they can't come at such short notice, but my mum insists I still send them invitations. This means doubling the number of invites, and money's tight. The last thing I want is to upset people, but it feels a waste.
